I made a neural net from scratch with my own neural net library that could identify cats from dogs 60% of the time. Better than a coin flip, baybeee!
I made a neural net from scratch with my own neural net library and trained it on generating the next move in a game of Go, based on thousands of games from an online Go forum.
It never even got close to learning the rules.
In retrospect, "thousands of games" was nowhere near enough training data for such a complex task, and if we had had enough training data, we never could have processed all of it, since all we were using was a ca. 2004 laptop machine with no GPU. So we just really overreached with that project. But still, it was a really pathetic showing.
Edit: I switched from "I" to "we" here because I was working with a classmate, but we did use my code. She did a lot of the heavy lifting in getting the games parsed into a form where the network could train on it, though.
