Error with tensorflow 1.0 mnist code

Question

I am now learning tensorflow 1.0 with python 3.5.2. I tried the following code found on github but i am getting the error No module named 'tensorflowvisu'. If i remove the import tensorflowvisu i get the error I = tensorflowvisu.tf_format_mnist_images(X, Ypred, Y_) # assembles 10x10 images by default NameError: name 'tensorflowvisu' is not defined What should i do to get this code to work? Does anyone have a working code for mnist with tensorflow 1.0 and python 3.5 that i can follow to learn? Any response appreciated. https://github.com/martin-gorner/tensorflow-mnist-tutorial/blob/master/mnist_1.0_softmax.py

# neural network with 1 layer of 10 softmax neurons

# The model is:
#
# Y = softmax( X * W + b)
#              X: matrix for 100 grayscale images of 28x28 pixels, flattened (there are 100 images in a mini-batch)
#              W: weight matrix with 784 lines and 10 columns
#              b: bias vector with 10 dimensions
#              +: add with broadcasting: adds the vector to each line of the matrix (numpy)
#              softmax(matrix) applies softmax on each line
#              softmax(line) applies an exp to each value then divides by the norm of the resulting line

# Download images and labels into mnist.test (10K images+labels) and mnist.train (60K images+labels)
mnist = read_data_sets("data", one_hot=True, reshape=False, validation_size=0)

# input X: 28x28 grayscale images, the first dimension (None) will index the images in the mini-batch
X = tf.placeholder(tf.float32, [None, 28, 28, 1])

Y_ = tf.placeholder(tf.float32, [None, 10])

# flatten the images into a single line of pixels
# -1 in the shape definition means "the only possible dimension that will preserve the number of elements"

Y = tf.nn.softmax(tf.matmul(XX, W) + b)

# so here we end up with the total cross-entropy for all images in the batch

Answer 1

I had the same issue. The solution is to run the code from within the folder where all the code resides. Don't just copy the mnist_1.0_softmax.py code to your IDE and run it. Download or clone entire repo from the link below

https://github.com/martin-gorner/tensorflow-mnist-tutorial.git

Once cloned, you will see that in that folder there is file called tensorflowvisu.py. So this is not a module that you install from conda or pip. It's just a file that the author uses as module in this precise case. Go to that dir where all this code sits through command line and from there run

python mnist_1.0_softmax.py

Now it should work. You should see a pop up windows with 6 charts that get updated in real-time.

If you want to run it from your IDE, then open your IDE (in my case Atom) and there go to File > Open Folder > Click OK > choose your file mnist_1.0_softmax.py and press Ctrl+Shift+B. the same pop up window should appear. The most important thing is to open the file from within the dir provided by the author.

try to install matplotlib using pip install --upgrade matplotlib with anaconda prompt
