Predicting Integer Values Neural Network

MF_Hussain

Hello all!
I am a beginner at this and trying to utilize Neural Network model for prediction. I have been able to execute and get the results. My label is fixed to obtain integer values from 2 to 24, however the predicted values are taking any possible values. I wish to limit the prediction to integer values only. Can someone please guide me what to do, I read in another blog about rounding but I wish to use the network for predicting integers.

You would not be able to do this as long as you are trying to predict it as a numerical label, although you could simply round the resulting prediction as you noted.
The only way to get it to predict integers would be to treat the label as a nominal class instead of numerical, in which case it would only predict the actual labels you have in the dataset.

@Telcontar120 let me try that .. and thanks a lot for replying

While my analysis is running can you help me in one more thing. I am trying to use Loop to plot epoch per training cycle is my approach right? @Telcontar120

The base Neural Net operator doesn't really allow investigation of the details of each epoch but the Deep Learning extension does, so I encourage you to check that out.

Thanks for the headsup
