# Model Card for MyNeuralNet

## Model Description

`MyNeuralNet` is a simple, fully connected neural network designed for classifying the handwritten digits of the MNIST dataset. The model consists of three linear layers with ReLU activation functions, followed by a final layer with a softmax output to predict probabilities across the 10 possible digits (0-9).

## How the Model Was Trained

The model was trained using the MNIST dataset, which consists of 60,000 training images and 10,000 test images. Each image is a 28x28 grayscale representation of a handwritten digit. Training was conducted over 32 epochs with a batch size of 32. The SGD optimizer was used with a learning rate of 0.01.

### Training Script

The model training was carried out using a custom PyTorch script, similar to the following pseudocode:

```python
for epoch in range(n_epochs):
    for images, labels in dataloader:
        # Forward pass
        predictions = model(images)
        loss = loss_function(predictions, labels)
        
        # Backward pass and optimization
        optimizer.zero_grad()
        loss.backward()
        optimizer.step()
```

## Using the Model

Below is a simple example of how to load `MyNeuralNet` and use it to predict MNIST images:

```python
import torch
import torch.nn as nn
from torch import load
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download

class MyNeuralNet(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self):
        super(MyNeuralNet, self).__init__()
        self.Matrix1 = nn.Linear(28*28, 100)
        self.Matrix2 = nn.Linear(100, 50)
        self.Matrix3 = nn.Linear(50, 10)
        self.R = nn.ReLU()
    
    def forward(self, x):
        x = x.view(-1, 28*28)
        x = self.R(self.Matrix1(x))
        x = self.R(self.Matrix2(x))
        x = self.Matrix3(x)
        return x.squeeze()

model_state_dict = load(hf_hub_download(repo_id="Svenni551/may-mnist-digits", filename="model.pth"), map_location=torch.device('cpu'))
model = MyNeuralNet()
model.load_state_dict(model_state_dict)
model.eval()

# Use 'model' for predictions
```
