Convolutional Neural Network in Tensorflow with Own Data for Prediction - tensorflow

Question

I am a beginner in CNN and Tensorflow. I am trying to implement convolutional neural network in tensorflow with own data for prediction but I am having some problems. I converted Deep MNIST for Experts tutorials to this. Deep MNIST for Experts is classification, but I am trying to do regression. Another problem is, this code give me accuracy=1 for each step.
What is the cause of the error? How can I convert this code for regression?

I am quite new to neural nets and machine learning so pardon me for any mistakes, thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You've got a loss function of cross entropy, which is a loss function specifically designed for classification. If you want to do regression, you need to start with a loss function that penalizes prediction error (L2 error is a great place to start).
For prediction, the rightmost layer of the network needs to have linear units (no activation function). The number of neurons in the rightmost layer should correspond to the number of values you're predicting (if it's a simple regression problem where you're predicting a single value of y given a vector of inputs x, then you just need a single neuron in the right-most layer). Right now, you've got a softmax layer on the back end of the network, which is also specifically used for classification tasks.
Basically - you need to swap your softmax for a linear neuron and change your loss function to something like L2 error (aka mean-squared error).
