PyBrain - Examples

In this chapter, all possible examples which are executed using PyBrain are psted.

Example 1

Working with NOR Truth Table and testing it for correctness.

from pybrain.tools.shortcuts import buildNetwork
from pybrain.structure import TanhLayer
from pybrain.datasets import SupervisedDataSet
from pybrain.supervised.trainers import BackpropTrainer

# Create a network with two inputs, three hidden, and one output
nn = buildNetwork(2, 3, 1, bias=True, hiddenclass=TanhLayer)

# Create a dataset that matches network input and output sizes:
norgate = SupervisedDataSet(2, 1)

# Create a dataset to be used for testing.
nortrain = SupervisedDataSet(2, 1)

# Add input and target values to dataset
# Values for NOR truth table
norgate.addSample((0, 0), (1,))
norgate.addSample((0, 1), (0,))
norgate.addSample((1, 0), (0,))
norgate.addSample((1, 1), (0,))

# Add input and target values to dataset
# Values for NOR truth table
nortrain.addSample((0, 0), (1,))
nortrain.addSample((0, 1), (0,))
nortrain.addSample((1, 0), (0,))
nortrain.addSample((1, 1), (0,))

#Training the network with dataset norgate.
trainer = BackpropTrainer(nn, norgate)

# will run the loop 1000 times to train it.
for epoch in range(1000):
   trainer.train()
trainer.testOnData(dataset=nortrain, verbose = True)

Example 2

For Datasets, we are going to use datasets from sklearn datasets as shown below: Refer load_digits datasets from sklearn: scikit-learn.org

It has 10 classes, i.e., digits to be predicted from 0-9.

The total input data in X is 64.

from sklearn import datasets
import matplotpb.pyplot as plt

from pybrain.datasets import ClassificationDataSet
from pybrain.utipties import percentError
from pybrain.tools.shortcuts import buildNetwork
from pybrain.supervised.trainers import BackpropTrainer
from pybrain.structure.modules import SoftmaxLayer
from numpy import ravel

digits = datasets.load_digits()
X, y = digits.data, digits.target
ds = ClassificationDataSet(64, 1, nb_classes=10) ) 

# we are having inputs are 64 dim array and since the digits are from 0-9 
the classes considered is 10.

for i in range(len(X)):
ds.addSample(ravel(X[i]), y[i]) # adding sample to datasets
test_data_temp, training_data_temp = ds.spptWithProportion(0.25) 

#Spptting the datasets 25% as testdata and 75% as trained data
# Using spptWithProportion() method on dataset converts the dataset to 
#superviseddataset, so we will convert the dataset back to classificationdataset 
#as shown in above step.
test_data = ClassificationDataSet(64, 1, nb_classes=10)

for n in range(0, test_data_temp.getLength()):
test_data.addSample( test_data_temp.getSample(n)[0], test_data_temp.getSample(n)[1] )
training_data = ClassificationDataSet(64, 1, nb_classes=10)

for n in range(0, training_data_temp.getLength()):
training_data.addSample( 
   training_data_temp.getSample(n)[0], training_data_temp.getSample(n)[1] 
)
test_data._convertToOneOfMany()
training_data._convertToOneOfMany()
net = buildNetwork(
   training_data.indim, 64, training_data.outdim, outclass=SoftmaxLayer
)
#creating a network wherein the input and output are used from the training data.
trainer = BackpropTrainer(
   net, dataset=training_data, momentum=0.1,learningrate=0.01,verbose=True,weightdecay=0.01
)
#Training the Network
trnerr,valerr = trainer.trainUntilConvergence(dataset=training_data,maxEpochs=10)

#Visuapzing the error and vapdation data
plt.plot(trnerr, b ,valerr, r )
plt.show()
trainer.trainEpochs(10)
print( Percent Error on testData: ,percentError(
   trainer.testOnClassData(dataset=test_data), test_data[ class ]
))
