反向传播算法给出不好的结果

Question

我正在尝试使用 MNIST 数据集通过前馈神经网络和反向传播来解决经典的手写数字识别问题。我使用Michael Nielsen's book 学习基本知识，使用3Blue1Brown's youtube video 学习反向传播算法。

我前段时间写完并一直在调试，因为结果很糟糕。在最好的情况下，网络可以在 1 个 epoch 后识别约 4000/10000 个样本，并且这个数字只会在接下来的 epoch 中下降，这让我相信反向传播算法存在一些问题。在过去的几天里，我一直沉浸在索引地狱中，试图调试它，但无法弄清楚问题出在哪里，我将不胜感激任何帮助指出它。

一点背景知识：1) 我没有使用任何矩阵乘法，也没有使用外部框架，而是使用 for 循环做所有事情，因为这就是我从视频中学到的。 2）与书不同，我将权重和偏差存储在同一个数组中。每层的偏差是该层权重矩阵末尾的一列。

最后是代码，这是NeuralNetwork类的Backpropagate方法，在UpdateMiniBatch中调用，它本身在SGD中调用：

/// <summary>
/// Returns the partial derivative of the cost function on one sample with respect to every weight in the network.
/// </summary>
public List<double[,]> Backpropagate(ITrainingSample sample)
{
    // Forwards pass
    var (weightedInputs, activations) = GetWeightedInputsAndActivations(sample.Input);

    // The derivative with respect to the activation of the last layer is simple to compute: activation - expectedActivation
    var errors = activations.Last().Select((a, i) => a - sample.Output[i]).ToArray();

    // Backwards pass
    List<double[,]> delCostOverDelWeights = Weights.Select(x => new double[x.GetLength(0), x.GetLength(1)]).ToList();
    List<double[]> delCostOverDelActivations = Weights.Select(x => new double[x.GetLength(0)]).ToList();
    delCostOverDelActivations[delCostOverDelActivations.Count - 1] = errors;

    // Comment notation:
    // Cost function: C
    // Weight connecting the i-th neuron on the (l + 1)-th layer to the j-th neuron on the l-th layer: w[l][i, j]
    // Bias of the i-th neuron on the (l + 1)-th layer: b[l][i]
    // Activation of the i-th neuon on the l-th layer: a[l][i]
    // Weighted input of the i-th neuron on the l-th layer: z[l][i] // which doesn't make sense on layer 0, but is left for index convenience
    // Notice that weights, biases, delCostOverDelWeights and delCostOverDelActivation all start at layer 1 (the 0-th layer is irrelevant to their meanings) while activations and weightedInputs strat at the 0-th layer

    for (int l = Weights.Count - 1; l >= 0; l--)
    {
        //Calculate ∂C/∂w for the current layer:
        for (int i = 0; i < Weights[l].GetLength(0); i++)
            for (int j = 0; j < Weights[l].GetLength(1); j++)
                delCostOverDelWeights[l][i, j] = // ∂C/∂w[l][i, j]
                    delCostOverDelActivations[l][i] * // ∂C/∂a[l + 1][i]
                    SigmoidPrime(weightedInputs[l + 1][i]) * // ∂a[l + 1][i]/∂z[l + 1][i] = ∂(σ(z[l + 1][i]))/∂z[l + 1][i] = σ′(z[l + 1][i])
                    (j < Weights[l].GetLength(1) - 1 ? activations[l][j] : 1); // ∂z[l + 1][i]/∂w[l][i, j] = a[l][j] ||OR|| ∂z[l + 1][i]/∂b[l][i] = 1

        // Calculate ∂C/∂a for the previous layer(a[l]):
        if (l != 0)
            for (int i = 0; i < Weights[l - 1].GetLength(0); i++)
                for (int j = 0; j < Weights[l].GetLength(0); j++)
                    delCostOverDelActivations[l - 1][i] += // ∂C/∂a[l][i] = sum over j:
                        delCostOverDelActivations[l][j] * // ∂C/∂a[l + 1][j]
                        SigmoidPrime(weightedInputs[l + 1][j]) * // ∂a[l + 1][j]/∂z[l + 1][j] = ∂(σ(z[l + 1][j]))/∂z[l + 1][j] = σ′(z[l + 1][j])
                        Weights[l][j, i]; // ∂z[l + 1][j]/∂a[l][i] = w[l][j, i]
    }

    return delCostOverDelWeights;
}

GetWeightedInputsAndActivations：

public (List<double[]>, List<double[]>) GetWeightedInputsAndActivations(double[] input)
{
    List<double[]> activations = new List<double[]>() { input }.Concat(Weights.Select(x => new double[x.GetLength(0)])).ToList();
    List<double[]> weightedInputs = activations.Select(x => new double[x.Length]).ToList();

    for (int l = 0; l < Weights.Count; l++)
        for (int i = 0; i < Weights[l].GetLength(0); i++)
        {
            double value = 0;
            for (int j = 0; j < Weights[l].GetLength(1) - 1; j++)
                value += Weights[l][i, j] * activations[l][j];// weights
            weightedInputs[l + 1][i] = value + Weights[l][i, Weights[l].GetLength(1) - 1];// bias
            activations[l + 1][i] = Sigmoid(weightedInputs[l + 1][i]);
        }

    return (weightedInputs, activations);
}

Answer 1

已修复。问题是：我没有将像素输入除以 255。其他一切似乎都正常工作，我现在在第一个 epoch 得到 +9000/10000。
