Beginner shares neural network weights for MNIST classification

A user has shared the weights for a neural network they developed to classify MNIST handwritten digits. The network features two hidden layers with 64 and 32 neurons respectively, and an output layer with 10 neurons. This project, representing the user's first foray into machine learning, achieved an accuracy of 96.52% on the MNIST dataset. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates a foundational project for learning neural network implementation and evaluation.
