MATLAB: Artificial neural network issue : Error using * and .*

artificial neural networksneural networks

hello, What's going with my code : l got back this error : *Error using * Inner matrix dimensions must agree. Error in ann_classifier (line 48) hidden_output = [1; sigmf(W1'*input_x, [beta 0])];
 and when l replace * by .* l go the same error: 
Error using .*
here is my code :
   % load training set and testing set
  clear all;
  train_set = loadMNISTImages('/home/anelmad/Desktop/TER/mnist_ml2/MNIST_digit_recognition-master/load_data/train-images.idx3-ubyte');
  train_label = loadMNISTLabels('/home/anelmad/Desktop/TER/mnist_ml2/MNIST_digit_recognition-master/load_data/train-labels.idx1-ubyte');
  test_set = loadMNISTImages('/home/anelmad/Desktop/TER/mnist_ml2/MNIST_digit_recognition-master/load_data/t10k-images.idx3-ubyte');
  test_label = loadMNISTLabels('/home/anelmad/Desktop/TER/mnist_ml2/MNIST_digit_recognition-master/load_data/t10k-labels.idx1-ubyte');
% parameter setting
alpha = 0.1; % learning rate
beta = 0.01; % scaling factor for sigmoid function
train_size = size(train_set);
N = train_size(1); % number of training samples
D = train_size(2); % dimension of feature vector
n_hidden = 300; % number of hidden layer units
K = 10; % number of output layer units
% initialize all weights between -1 and 1
W1 = 2*rand(1+D, n_hidden)-1; % weight matrix from input layer to hidden layer
W2 = 2*rand(1+n_hidden, K)-1; % weight matrix from hidden layer to ouput layer
max_iter = 100; % number of iterations
Y = eye(K); % output vector 
% training 
for i=1:max_iter
  disp([num2str(i), ' iteration']);
    for j=1:N
        % propagate the input forward through the network
        input_x = [1; train_set(j, :)'];
        hidden_output = [1;sigmf(W1'*input_x, [beta 0])];
        output = sigmf(W2'*hidden_output, [beta 0]);
        % propagate the error backward through the network
        % compute the error of output unit c
        delta_c = (output-Y(:,train_label(j)+1)).*output.*(1-output);
        % compute the error of hidden unit h
        delta_h = (W2*delta_c).*(hidden_output).*(1-hidden_output);
        delta_h = delta_h(2:end);
        % update weight matrix
        W1 = W1 - alpha*(input_x*delta_h');
        W2 = W2 - alpha*(hidden_output*delta_c');
    end
end
% testing 
test_size = size(test_set);
num_correct = 0;
for i=1:test_size(1)
    input_x = [1; test_set(i,:)'];
    hidden_output = [1; sigmf(W1'*input_x, [beta 0])];
    output = sigmf(W2'*hidden_output, [beta 0]);
    [max_unit, max_idx] = max(output);
    if(max_idx == test_label(i)+1)
        num_correct = num_correct + 1;
    end
end
% computing accuracy
accuracy = num_correct/test_size(1);
thank you

Best Answer

If you get an inner dimension multiplication error for
C = A*B
Then check the inner dimensions via
 whos A B
You can use * only if size(A,2) = size(B,1), i.e., the inner dimensions are equal.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for formally accepting my answer
P.S. Why didn't you point out which equation is number 48?
