Hi everyone I have a neuralnetwork class, its constructor should initialize:
- a 2-dimensional double array, double[# of rows in .data file][# of numbers in each row]
- [# of numbers in each row] - 1 InputNodes
- 2/3 (rounded down) * # of HiddenNodes
- 1 output node (which is also a HiddenNode object) that takes in all the HiddenNodes
What I am having trouble with
- Having java create the InputNodes, HiddenNodes, and OutputNode automatically based on the data given, so far I have to manually create the Nodes
The inputnodes would be stored in either an array list or array, and then passed into constructor parameters of a HiddenNode, a HiddenNode can only take parameters of:
HiddenNode(Node[] nodes)
Where a Node object is a superclass of HiddenNode and InputNode
Here is the code I have so far for my constructor:
NeuralNetwork.java
/*
* These are values for the NeuralNetwork Constructor
*/
private final String comma = ",";
private final String qMarks = "?";
private List<InputNode> input = new ArrayList<InputNode>(); // Input Nodes
private List<HiddenNode> hiddenNodeLayer = new ArrayList<HiddenNode>(); // ArrayList of HiddenNode[] arrays
private List<HiddenNode> outputNode = new ArrayList<HiddenNode>();
public NeuralNetwork(File f){
try {
@SuppressWarnings("resource")
Scanner inFile = new Scanner(f);
int noOfNodes;
//While there is another line in inFile.
while (inFile.hasNextLine()){
//Store that line into String line
String line = inFile.nextLine();
//System.out.println(line);//Test code to see what the file looks like
//Parition values separated by a comma
String[] numbers = line.split(comma);
//System.out.println(Arrays.toString(columns)); //Test code to see length of each column
/*code works and prints out row
* */
/*
* initialize noOfNodes to length of numbers - 1
*/
noOfNodes = numbers.length - 1;
//Counter for number of rows in .data file
int noOfRowsInData = 0;
//This will count the number of rows in the .data file
LineNumberReader lnr = new LineNumberReader(new FileReader(f));
try {
lnr.skip(Long.MAX_VALUE);
noOfRowsInData = lnr.getLineNumber();
lnr.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
data = new double[noOfRowsInData][numbers.length];
//System.out.println(data[0].length); //Test code works properly, and prints numbers.length
//Copy over data form the .data file
for (int i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < data[i].length; j++) {
// For each row...
if (!numbers[j].equals(qMarks)) {
// If the values in each row do not equal "?"
// Set rows[i] to the values in column[i]
data[i][j] = Double.parseDouble(numbers[j]);
//System.out.println(data[i][j]); //Test code to see what's printed here
} else {
data[i][j] = 0;
//System.out.println(data[i][j]); //Test code to see what's printed here
}
}
}
}
//System.out.println(data.length); //See what the length of the data double array is. works
//Test code to print out the 2-d double array and see what is being stored
// for(int i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
// System.out.println("For Row[" + i + "] of file:"); //Works
// for (int j = 0; j < data[i].length; j++) {
// System.out.println(" data[" + i + "][" +
// j + "] = " + data[i][j]); //Works
// }
// }
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
//Create 13 InputNode Objects initialized to 0.0
for (int n = 0; n < 13; n++){
input[n] = new InputNode(0.0);
}
//Create 8 HiddenNode objects **HAVING PROBLEMS HERE**
for (int o = 0; o < 8; o++){
hiddenNodeLayer.add(new HiddenNode(input));
}
System.out.println(hiddenNodeLayer.size() + " HiddenNodes created");
//Create one output Node, which is a hidden node
outputNode = new ArrayList<HiddenNode>(1);
System.out.println(outputNode.size() + " OutputNode created");
}
Update: NullPointerException Error
Getting an error here:
for (int m = 0; m < noOfNodes; m++){
input[m] = new InputNode(0.0); //NullPointerException error
}
System.out.println(input.length);
//Create 8 HiddenNode objects **HAVING PROBLEMS HERE**
int noOfHiddenNodes = (int)Math.floor(2.*noOfNodes/3.);
System.out.println(noOfHiddenNodes);
for (int o = 0; o < noOfHiddenNodes; o++){
hiddenNodeLayer.add(new HiddenNode(input));
}
Found and Corrected Error
I had to initialize input = new InputNode[m] in the for loop, because there were no InputNodes to begin with
for (int m = 0; m < noOfNodes; m++){
input = new InputNode[m];
}
System.out.println(input.length + "");
//Create 8 HiddenNode objects **HAVING PROBLEMS HERE**
int noOfHiddenNodes = (int)Math.floor(2.*noOfNodes/3.);
for (int o = 0; o < noOfHiddenNodes; o++){
hiddenNodeLayer.add(new HiddenNode(input));
}
System.out.println(hiddenNodeLayer.size() + " HiddenNodes created");
//Create one output Node, which is a hidden node
outputNode = new ArrayList<HiddenNode>(1);
System.out.println(outputNode.size() + " OutputNode created");
