Neural Networks and Deep Learning - Week1, programming assignment, need clarification

I am pretty much done with the assignment except the last step(putting the model together). I don’t see the input data for the model() parameters. All other functions have input values to test the function. Am I am missing something, any help is appreciated.

If you want to see how the model_test function works, click “File → Open” and then open the file public_tests.py. In python you can pass a function as an argument to another function. When model_test calls model, it passes arguments that it has just created.

Hmm, Now I go back to my course and I don’t see the programming assignment at all. It does show all other other sections of Week1 and it also says week1 is complete. I did not submit the programming assignment for week1. Help please…

There are no programming assignments in Course 1 Week 1. The first programming is in Week 2 and there are two of them there.

Nevermind, my bad, it is week2 assignment.

ok, I did not know that I need to refer to public_tests.py. I am still not clear about this method. I see target() called with parameters defined in model_test(). X_train is (4,7) - but I get an error -
ValueError: shapes (1,4) and (12288,209) not aligned: 4 (dim 1) != 12288 (dim 0)

I have w, b initialized to w, b = initialize_with_zeros(4).

Any help is appreciated. thanks.

Most likely ‘4’ is not always the correct value to use there.

You don’t need to refer to that code. I only pointed it out because you made the statement that model was being called without parameters and I wanted to show you that was not a true statement.

As Tom says, 4 is not the general answer. It might work for that one case. The point here is that we are trying to write the code in a general way that will work with any sized inputs. So you need to base the sizes on the actual inputs that you get.

Strange, I changed to w, b = initialize_with_zeros(X_train.shape[0]) and now the error is gone. Though w values mismatch. Does it mean I need to fine-tune the model parameters to further minimize the cost function? But then logistic_regression_model = model() passed

train accuracy: 68.42105263157895 %

test accuracy: 34.0 %

This is a pretty bad score.

Tweaking the learning rate: I got -

train accuracy: 67.94258373205741 %

test accuracy: 84.0 %

Question: Do you give feedback on the assignment. Can I take it again, to get the best grade?

Thanks.

You don’t need to fine-tune the model. Don’t try this on any DLS assignments, otherwise, you will see unexpected errors.

If your w value is not matching, it means your code is incorrect. Please share your full error here. However, if you changed any hyperparameters like learning_rate, first grab the fresh copy of your assignment and do your code again, without changing any pre-written code.

You can grade your work as many times as you like. Only your highest score counts.

Here is the error:

Please note all the prior tests passed, I am kinda stuck with the final step - model()

Before answering this, first, tell me if have you reverted back to the original hyperparameters. If not, please get a clean copy of your notebook which I linked in my previous response.

Yes, I have got a fresh copy of the notebook.

How you are setting the num_iterations and learning_rate?

Moderator Edit: Solution Code Removed

First, why need to flatten X_train? Please follow the instructions and do not introduce anything new.

Secondly, num_iterations and learning_rate shouldn’t be 100 and 0.005, respectively. Check this recent post.

Thanks all the mentors, it is working now.
