I've trained fitnet network for prediction steel's yield stress with MATLAB ann toolbox.   The neural network should predict yield stress. I have about 250 vector inputs. Every input vector has 12 parameters as inputs plus one parameter as target (yield stress). ann should predict yield stress.  The inputs are weight percent of chemical elements that are used in steel.  Here is my code snippet:  inputs=transpose(inputs); targets=transpose(targets);  net =  feedforwardnet(20); %net.trainParam.max_fail=1000  % Setup Division of Data for Training, Validation, Testing net.divideParam.trainRatio = 70/100; net.divideParam.valRatio = 15/100; net.divideParam.testRatio = 15/100;  % Train the Network [net, tr] = train(net,inputs,targets);   Here are the ann training results:  Here is the regression plot:   Here is the actual output (green) and neural network output (red) charts in one diagram:    As it can be seen the charts are not overlapping. This means that network has not worked well.  How can I improve results? Should I use other network or topology. Is my data very noisy or incorrect or they are less to train ann? I've taken data from here:
I'm training a neural network but the training loss doesn't decrease. How can I fix this?  I'm not asking about overfitting or regularization. I'm asking about how to solve the problem where my network's performance doesn't improve on the training set.    This question is intentionally general so that other questions about how to train a neural network can be closed as a duplicate of this one, with the attitude that "if you give a man a fish you feed him for a day, but if you teach a man to fish, you can feed him for the rest of his life." See this Meta thread for a discussion:   If your neural network does not generalize well, see:
My number is associated with iMessage on other phone, how to remove it? Good day everyone. For only 1 hour (!) I used my relatives iPhone with my sim card and that's it, he keeps receiving all of my iMessages. I tried checking in iTunes all devices associated with my account and his device is not listed. I tried to log in and log out to/from iMessage on his phone with his apple ID, still won't help. How can I stop this nightmare!? When I go to iMessage settings>Send &amp; Receive on his device, there is only my phone number listed, how do I remove it without smashing phone to the wall?! Thanks and have a great day  EDIT. After talking to apple support for some time, they removed my phone number from my friend's iMessage. So I guess if you are facing same problem you have to contact support. Finding $\frac {d(\tan \theta)}{d\theta}$ I need to get rid of the GNOME Desktop Environment which has been installed by default when I updated my pc from 15.10 to 16.04.  After a while, I found myself not only with GNOME DE, but also with Cinnamon alongside (in the login screen, I could choose at least five or six DE!)  Now I am using Unity, and I'm happy with that, and I successfully uninstalled Cinnamon, but now I'm afraid that after uninstalling GNOME I will mess up the Unity DE, since I see many packages running in unity with the packagename starting with gnome-... Would someone mind to help me? Thx in advance When one wants to list various cases/classes/categories/types of objects in a string of conjunctions, is it preferable (or even mandatory) to keep on using (the same) preposition in front of each one them?  Moreover, does singular or plural form of the word "case", "class", "category" make any difference in the previous question?  Examples:   In the present article, we study the case of X, of Y and of Z objects. (in this example, as in most of the ones I have in mind, it is the preposition "of" which is relevant to my question). We study the cases/classes of X and of Y objects. vs. We study the cases/classes of X and Y objects.   Although it is rather clear that, in the singular case, the absence of "of" in later conjuncts may lead to a logical confusion (e.g., mistakenly taken as the one class/case of objects which are both X and Y), when it comes to plural of the words "case", "class", etc., this might not be an issue. Still, there might anyway be a rule in the plural setting as well. Cannot login to chat.meta.stackexchange.com; server error when trying to access chat homepage I just recreated my MSE account after having deleted it a few years ago. Now, I'm trying to log in to Meta Stack Exchange Chat, and whenever I try to do so, it just fails silently and I'm still logged out.  Additionally, in the same browser session that I'm supposedly logged out, I get a server error when accessing the chat homepage or the chat profile page of any user. I don't get any errors when trying to access any of these pages in a private session. I also was able to sign in to Stack Exchange Chat and Stack Overflow Chat without problems, since my accounts on SO and my parent site for SE chat haven't been deleted.  I think it might be because it's trying to sign me in to my old chat profile, which was not deleted, but that is associated to my old, deleted site account, which clash and thus cause it to fail. Should an image carousel on a mobile site automatically rotate? Or should the user have complete control? The intention is to have a slider/carousel that shows 6 or 7 images which the user can look through by clicking arrow buttons left or right. But the question has also come up if the user has not started looking through the images, should the carousel start automatically rotating the images. Since this is for a mobile site, I'm uncertain... I made a skin by using Skincraft and I exported it to minecraft.net. I chose my skin and uploaded it. At the top it says,      "Your skin has been changed! Please wait a few seconds for it to   update."   I went to Minecraft, clicked singleplayer and chose a random world at the top. I looked at my character, but it's still default. Multiplayer won't load for some reason. I don't know what I've done wrong! How to restore default group/user ownership of all files under /var? I accidentally changed /var owner/group to my username and then changed it back to root, but not all the /var folders' owners are root, so is there anyway to change back owner/group of files/folders to default state?  Or at least those files/folders that are created by packages? The reasoning my book uses is as follows:   Since $(3+i)(3-i) = 10$, $10 + \langle 3+i\rangle = 0 + \langle 3+i\rangle $. Also, $i + \langle 3+i\rangle = -3 + \langle 3+i\rangle = 7 + \langle 3+i\rangle$. So, $\mathbb{Z}[i]/\langle 3+i\rangle = \{k + \langle 3+i\rangle \mid k = 0,1,\ldots ,9\}$, since $1 + \langle3+i\rangle$ has additive order $10$.   I do not understand why the additive order of $1 + \langle 3+i\rangle$ is $10$, or why the fact that $(3+i)(3-i) = 10$, shows the additive order or $1 + \langle 3+i\rangle$  is $10$. If someone could please explain this I would greatly appreciate it.   Note: I apologize for not using MathJax to write this post. I intend to learn it over the coming weekend. How do you persuade an organization to value UX? UX is such an underrated field in a lot of industries. I wonder how companies consider employing UX designers and even heavily valuing their suggestions. Some big companies happen to see the light and invest in UX, and that keeps them on top of others. However, UX people rarely make it to the top management. In Don Norman's talk (  ), out of so many UX people (I don't know exactly), only two were vice presidents. I assume that there are even less influential UX designers in developing countries, and that's what makes it even harder for people like me. In the same talk, Don Norman suggested that UX designers should approach their executives like marketing people, showing how investing in something will affect profit. Perhaps, it's the best thing to do but it has to be mastered for it to be executed successfully.   I'm a fresh grad and am looking for a job. I think, working for a company with a more conventional job description would be the way to go. When I'm already influential enough, I'll go up to the executives and show them how UX will improve sales (in whatever industry it is. I just want to do UX)  Do you do UX as consultants or are you employed? How do you persuade companies to invest in UX? Are you lucky enough to be employed by people who you didn't have to persuade to value UX? $e^{mx}$ in solving second order differential equations In a book I am reading on differential equations, the author writes about the solution to a homogenous, linear, second order differential equation with constant coefficients. The author says something like, "Let us suppose that the solution is of the form $y=e^{mx}$ " . After this the author introduces the characteristic equation of a differential equation of the form mentioned above, and proceeds to describe how to solve it w/ undetermined coefficients, variation of parameters, etc.   How did mathematicians first come up with this "assumption" that the solution was of the form $y=e^{mx}$? And, are there any other forms of solutions for these types of equations? Solve the integeral equation (C.S.I.R) Let $\lambda_1, \lambda_2$ be the eigen value and $f_1 , f_2$ be the coressponding eigen  functions for the homogeneous integeral equation  $$ \phi(x) - \lambda \int_0^1 (xt +2x^2) \phi(t) dt = 0 $$  Then   $\lambda_1 = -18 - 6 \sqrt{10} , \lambda_2 = -18 + 6 \sqrt{10}$ $\lambda_1 = -36 - 12 \sqrt{10} , \lambda_2 = -36 + 12 \sqrt{10}$ $\int_0^1f_1(x)f_2(x) dx = 1$ $\int_0^1f_1(x)f_2(x) dx = 0$   I have solved simply and get the values of $\lambda_1 \ \ and \ \ \lambda_2$ belong to (1).  Please tell me about (3) and (4) option.  Thank you. Q. Find all pairs $(p,n)$ of positive integers where $p$ is prime and $p^3-p=n^7-n^3$.   Rewriting the given equation as $p(p+1)(p-1)=n^3(n^2+1)(n+1)(n-1)$, we see that $p$ must divide one of the factors $n,n+1,n-1,n^2+1$ on the $\text{r.h.s}$.   Now, the $\text{l.h.s}$ is an increasing function of $p$ for $p\ge1$. This implies that for any given $n\ge1$, there is exactly one real $p$ for which $\text{l.h.s}=\text{r.h.s}$. For $p=n^2$, we get $\text{l.h.s}=n^6-n^2&lt;n^7-n^3=\text{r.h.s}.$ This means that either $p&gt;n^2$ or $p&lt;n^2$ must hold.  Assuming $p&gt;n^2$, it follows that the prime $p$ cannot divide any of $n,n+1,n-1$. So $p$ must divide $n^2+1$ and hence $p=n^2+1\quad (\because p&gt;n^2)$.  Substituting the value of $p$ in the given equation we get, $n^2+2=n^3-n\implies n^3-n^2-n=2$. As the factor $n$ on the $\text{l.h.s}$ must divide $2$, the above equation has a unique integer solution $n=2$.  Finally, we get $(5,2)$ as the solution to the given equation.      But how do I conclude this is the only solution possible? Also, why does'nt $p&lt;n^2$ (the case which I ignored) hold? As a bonus question, I would like to ask for any alternative/elegant solution (possibly using congruence relations) to the problem. In the DC Comics Universe, What Happens to Earthlings Under a Red Sun? I know in the earliest versions of Superman, his powers weren't from the yellow sun, but that was changed and, in general (at least as I understand it), Superman's powers are because he was native to a world with a red sun and now he's under a yellow sun.  What happens to an Earthling or other native to a yellow sun planet when near a red sun?  And what if the sun is blue?  Or a brown dwarf?  Please note: I'm asking about a red sun, not about living on Krypton.  Okay, that's heavy gravity, but it's not the only planet under a red sun.  (But, still the point about whether yellow sun natives would have super powers would come into play there, wouldn't it?) Is the Nintendo Switch region locked? Many Nintendo devices often come with , which means if you purchase a device in one country, you won't be able to play games from another (generally).  Is the Nintendo Switch also region locked like many of its predecessors such as the Wii U and Wii? How to find location using MapKit in Xcode? A function that is continuous at the origin but not differentiable there Show that $f(x,y)=\dfrac{xy^2}{x^2+y^2}$ (with $(x,y)\not=(0,0)$ and $f(0,0)=0$) is continuous but not differentiable at $(0,0)$.  I tried to show continuity with an $\epsilon -\delta$ argument but I don't know how to factorize the expression so that I can have something useful.   For differentiability I think I should show that the partials are not continuous at $(0,0)$. But finding the partials is also painful. What are the best practices for using Java's @Override annotation and why?     It seems like it would be overkill to mark every single overridden method with the @Override annotation.   Are there certain programming situations that call for using the @Override and others that should never use the @Override? How to create a local APT repository? I would like to build my own local repository on my LAN, so that machines on the LAN can update and upgrade from it. I want to download the packages and store them on my local server so that I can update, upgrade, install, etc, from it without using the internet. Sometimes, I write the name of an author in a sentence before the citation. For this reason, I'd like to suppress it in the citation. How can I do that?  Is the only solution to create a new macro, e.g. \citewoauth, similar to \cite but without author names, or am I missing something?
