I have been trying to code up the neural network for recognizing MNIST that was given by Michael Nielsen here http://neuralnetworksanddeeplearning.com/chap1.html
The original was written using Python 2.7 I believe, I'm using v3. The network does go through the test examples and updates the weights and biases, but it doesn't learn, and gets around 10% of the test examples right (so as good as random guessing).
I have also tried simply copying the code from the site and running it in Python 2.7, and it works as it should (getting up to 95% accuracy). The only significant difference in the nets are the data set (I'm using the one downloaded directly from MINST two days ago) and the two locations where i switched np.dot into np.outer, just to make it easier to keep track of the array shapes (I tried sticking to (N,) instead of (N,1)). But that part seems to be fine, since the layer sizes are different and the multiplications are going through. I am also using the same learning rate and layer sizes as given in the example.
I cannot see what could be throwing the net off. If anyone has tried doing the same, or has some insight into this I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks !

CodePudding user response：
I found the mistake... By mistake I zipped up the training images with the test labels to form the test set, which is clearly not what it should be. Now that I formed the test set properly, everything works and gets up to around 95% accuracy. Here is the full corrected code for completeness (usable in Python3)
