Machine Learning Foundations: Exercise 3 Improve accuracy of MNIST using Convolutions.

Exercise 3: Improve accuracy of MNIST using Convolutions:code lab link

Improve MNIST to 99.8% accuracy or more using only a single convolutional layer and a single MaxPooling 2D.

The filter amount will affect the accuracy and training time.

GO: Fixed warning: go env -w GOPATH=... does not override conflicting OS environment variable

Because the GOPATH is OS level setting variable so it can't be set using go env -v cmd.

We need to use OS specify way to modify this PATH variable.

1. Using CMD to set GOPATH variable (Environment: WIN10)

    > setx GOPATH ##YOURPATH##

2. Check the GOPATH been setup 

   > go env

Conference note: Linux I2C in the 21st Century - Wolfram Sang, Consultant / Renesas

This conference is intent to brief overview what't new in Linux I2C subsystem.
I found some interesting part of the I2C subsystem of the latest linux kernel:

• The API i2c_dummy_device() for I2C device have more than one slave address.

Declare a dummy I2C deivce share same device but different slave address

• Recommend new API to create I2C device: i2c_new_ancillary_device()

• Dynamic address assign : In same I2C bus and dynamic detect what address should use.

I2C has been widely used in industry for decades and has some enhance feature like have multi slave address or dynamic assign address of slave in the same bus,

 bring lots of challenge for developer and Linux kernel provide some new API for more generic driver development.

Further speaking:

I3C is the next generation serial bus to replace I2C but I didn't saw much application  right now.

Machine Learning Foundations: Exercise 2 Handwriting digit model with 99% accuracy

Exercise 2: Handwriting digit model with 99% accuracy:code lab link

Write an MNIST classifier that trains to 99% accuracy or above, and does it without a fixed number of epochs -- i.e. you should stop training once you reach that level of accuracy.

Machine Learning Foundations : Exercise 1 House Price Question

Exercise 1 : House Prices Question : code lab link

Build a neural network that predicts the price of a house according to a simple formula, house pricing was as easy as a house costs 50k + 50k per bedroom, so that a 1 bedroom house costs 100k, a 2 bedroom house costs 150k etc.

Training data set

Bedroom amount [1, 2, 3, 4,]
House price [100, 150, 200, 250]

Code:

Octave: Read data from csv file.

Octave/Matlab can read CSV file and do some processing or plot the data quickly and easily.

Below are simple codes that read a CSV file and make some parse.

1. Read Sample_Data.csv file and stored as char array:

    char = strsplit(fileread ("Sample_Data.csv"));

2. Simple parse: Iterate each element and skip first 5 column data

    for i = 1:size(char,2)
        result(i,:) = char((10*i)-5:(10*i));
    end

How to get main() function return value in Linux terminal.

Sometimes we want to get the exit value of main() function, using the "echo $? " can get the most recently program exit value.
