TensorFlow Neural Network Lab

Preprocess notMNIST data and train a neural net on it

notMNIST dataset samples

We've prepared a Jupyter notebook that will guide you through the process of creating a single layer neural network in TensorFlow.

Setup

Windows

Install Docker

If you don't have Docker already, download and install Docker from here.

Clone the Repository

Run the command below to clone the Lab Repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/udacity/CarND-TensorFlow-Lab.git

After running the command above, follow the “Run the Notebook” instructions to start the lab.

OS X and Linux

Install Anaconda

This lab requires Anaconda and Python 3.4 or higher. If you don't meet all of these requirements, install the appropriate package(s).

Run the Anaconda Environment

Run these commands in your terminal to install all requirements:

$ git clone https://github.com/udacity/CarND-TensorFlow-Lab.git
$ conda env create -f environment.yml
$ conda install --name CarND-TensorFlow-Lab -c conda-forge tensorflow

Run the Notebook

Start a Jupyter Server

Make sure to run the server from the same directory that you ran in the Setup steps above.

Windows

$ docker run -it -p 8888:8888 -v `pwd`:/notebooks udacity/carnd-tensorflow-lab

OS X and Linux

$ source activate CarND-TensorFlow-Lab
$ jupyter notebook

View The Notebook

You setup your environment in the Setup steps and started a Jupyter server in the Start a Jupyter Server instructions above. Open a browser window and go here. This is the notebook you'll be working on. The notebook has 3 problems for you to solve:

  • Problem 1: Normalize the features
  • Problem 2: Use TensorFlow operations to create features, labels, weight, and biases tensors
  • Problem 3: Tune the learning rate, number of steps, and batch size for the best accuracy

This is a self-assessed lab. Compare your answers to the solutions here. If you have any difficulty completing the lab, Udacity provides a few services to answer any questions you might have.
