# NumPyANN: Building Neural Networks using NumPy

[NumPyANN](https://github.com/ahmedfgad/NumPyCNN) is a Python project for building artificial neural networks using NumPy.

[NumPyANN](https://github.com/ahmedfgad/NumPyCNN) is part of [PyGAD](https://pypi.org/project/pygad) which is an open-source Python 3 library for implementing the genetic algorithm and optimizing machine learning algorithms. Both regression and classification neural networks are supported starting from PyGAD 2.7.0.

Check documentation of the [NeuralGenetic](https://github.com/ahmedfgad/NeuralGenetic) project in the PyGAD's documentation: https://pygad.readthedocs.io/en/latest/nn.html

The library is under active development and more features are added regularly. If you want a feature to be supported, please check the **Contact Us** section to send a request.

# Life Cycle of PyGAD

The next figure lists the different stages in the lifecycle of an instance of the `pygad.GA` class. Note that PyGAD stops when either all generations are completed or when the function passed to the `on_generation` parameter returns the string `stop`.

![PyGAD Lifecycle](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/16560492/89446279-9c6f8380-d754-11ea-83fd-a60ea2f53b85.jpg)

The next code implements all the callback functions to trace the execution of the genetic algorithm. Each callback function prints its name.

```python
import pygad
import numpy

function_inputs = [4,-2,3.5,5,-11,-4.7]
desired_output = 44

def fitness_func(ga_instance, solution, solution_idx):
output = numpy.sum(solution*function_inputs)
fitness = 1.0 / (numpy.abs(output - desired_output) + 0.000001)
return fitness

fitness_function = fitness_func

def on_start(ga_instance):
print("on_start()")

def on_fitness(ga_instance, population_fitness):
print("on_fitness()")

def on_parents(ga_instance, selected_parents):
print("on_parents()")

def on_crossover(ga_instance, offspring_crossover):
print("on_crossover()")

def on_mutation(ga_instance, offspring_mutation):
print("on_mutation()")

def on_generation(ga_instance):
print("on_generation()")

def on_stop(ga_instance, last_population_fitness):
print("on_stop()")

ga_instance = pygad.GA(num_generations=3,
num_parents_mating=5,
fitness_func=fitness_function,
sol_per_pop=10,
num_genes=len(function_inputs),
on_start=on_start,
on_fitness=on_fitness,
on_parents=on_parents,
on_crossover=on_crossover,
on_mutation=on_mutation,
on_generation=on_generation,
on_stop=on_stop)

ga_instance.run()
```

Based on the used 3 generations as assigned to the `num_generations` argument, here is the output.

```
on_start()

on_fitness()
on_parents()
on_crossover()
on_mutation()
on_generation()

on_fitness()
on_parents()
on_crossover()
on_mutation()
on_generation()

on_fitness()
on_parents()
on_crossover()
on_mutation()
on_generation()

on_stop()
```

# Example

Check the [PyGAD's documentation](https://pygad.readthedocs.io/en/latest/nn.html) for information about the implementation of this example.

```python
import numpy
import pygad.nn

# Preparing the NumPy array of the inputs.
data_inputs = numpy.array([[1, 1],
[1, 0],
[0, 1],
[0, 0]])

# Preparing the NumPy array of the outputs.
data_outputs = numpy.array([0,
1,
1,
0])

# The number of inputs (i.e. feature vector length) per sample
num_inputs = data_inputs.shape[1]
# Number of outputs per sample
num_outputs = 2

HL1_neurons = 2

# Building the network architecture.
input_layer = pygad.nn.InputLayer(num_inputs)
hidden_layer1 = pygad.nn.DenseLayer(num_neurons=HL1_neurons, previous_layer=input_layer, activation_function="relu")
output_layer = pygad.nn.DenseLayer(num_neurons=num_outputs, previous_layer=hidden_layer1, activation_function="softmax")

# Training the network.
pygad.nn.train(num_epochs=10,
last_layer=output_layer,
data_inputs=data_inputs,
data_outputs=data_outputs,
learning_rate=0.01)

# Using the trained network for predictions.
predictions = pygad.nn.predict(last_layer=output_layer, data_inputs=data_inputs)

# Calculating some statistics
num_wrong = numpy.where(predictions != data_outputs)[0]
num_correct = data_outputs.size - num_wrong.size
accuracy = 100 * (num_correct/data_outputs.size)
print("Number of correct classifications : {num_correct}.".format(num_correct=num_correct))
print("Number of wrong classifications : {num_wrong}.".format(num_wrong=num_wrong.size))
print("Classification accuracy : {accuracy}.".format(accuracy=accuracy))
```
