Inspiration
We wanted to learn more about neural networks by making an application that recognizes hand-written digits.
What it does
It takes a user-drawn image of a digit and uses a neural network to decipher what digit it is. It then performs numerical operations.
How I built it
Using pure python - no machine learning libraries were used
Challenges I ran into
Improving digit recognition accuracy Outputting an array that the algorithm could understand Trying to make an HTML/Javscript application
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We have zero to very little experience in neural networks and we produced a network that can recognize digits live
What I learned
Programming with neural networks Making a neural network from scratch Programming with the terminal on Linux
What's next for ArtihmeDraw
Improve accuracy by using a CNN and machine learning library Add more math functionality such that it can become a fully featured calculator with support for algebraic and analytical operations.
