The project we're embarking on is the one as mentioned in the opening paragraphs. The dataset which we are going to classify is a collection of handwritten numbers originally collected by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and later modified by Yann LeCun's team. Our goal is to classify the handwritten numbers as either one of 0, 1, 2... 9.
We're going to build a basic neural network with the understanding that neural networks are applied linear algebra, and we'll be using Gorgonia for this and the next chapter.
To install Gorgonia, simply run go get -u gorgonia.org/gorgonia and go get -u gorgonia.org/tensor.
