MAE301 Neural Network Tutorial

Introduction

In this tutorial, you will learn how to use Keras (with Tensorflow backend) to create a convolutional neural network that predicts Young's Modulus of Sandstone structures.

Get Ready

Jupyter Notebook

This code is written in Jupyter Notebook, which is an open-source web application that allows you to create and share documents that contain live code, please download and install it. For new users we highly recommend installing Anaconda.

After installing, launch the jupyter notebook by typing in anaconda prompt in the search field under start menu and then type in:

jupyter notebook

and find your target folder. Or you can 'cd' to your target folder in the terminal and then type jupyter notebook.

Once it's done, please follow the following steps to run this code.

1. Install TensorFlow CPU version
2. Download this repo
3. Once done, use the terminal to go to the folder where you hold this code, type in

pip install -r requirement.txt

if it's not successful, you may try install the dependancies mannually by:

1. Run a terminal(type in cmd in the search field under start menu)
2. type in pip install matplotlib Enter
3. type in pip install keras Enter
4. type in pip install sklearn Enter

This should install all dependencies.

Once all is done, please open Young's Modulus Prediction_student.ipynb.
