The Two Spirals Problem Solved
Using a simple four-layer MLP and standard backprop
(You're going to say I cheated.)
While the Two-Spirals Problem may be (or actually, may not be) a
valuable benchmark for neural network researchers working on new architectures, I believe that it
much more valuable, and to a much larger number of people (those working on
applied NN solutions), as an example of THE WRONG WAY to present data to a
neural network. This paper is intended as a primer on how to evaluate, and
manipulate, your dataset prior to building a neural network to improve or
even guarantee your results.
