After watching a video of a field sobriety test I knew I had to build a neural network that could pass it!
- It should be able to go forward or backward through the alphabet depending on request.
- It should be able to arbitrarily start and stop at any requested letter combination, i.e A-Z or F-B, etc…
- DUI Bot’s output should be able to be used as it’s input.
With these considerations in mind I decided that the best way to proceed is to use a “Two-Hot” encoding representation.
The first input neuron controls direction of alphabet recitation.
1 = Forward (like. A – Z )
-1 = Backward (like Z – A)
All the remaining input neurons are a group and represent A – Z and only one letter input neuron may be set to “high” (1) at a time and the rest of neurons should be set “low” (-1).
As you can see, DUI Bot can pass the “non-song-and-dance” portion of a sobriety test! 😛
