How to get predicted class labels in TensorFlow's MNIST example?

Question

I am new to Neural Networks and went through the MNIST example for beginners.

I am currently trying to use this example on another dataset from Kaggle that does not

Answer 1

I think you just need to evaluate your output-tensor as stated in the tutorial:

accuracy = tf.reduce_mean(tf.cast(correct_prediction, "float"))
print(sess.run(accuracy, feed_dict={x: mnist.test.images, y_: mnist.test.labels}))

To get the output of a tensor see the docs:

After the graph has been launched in a session, the value of the Tensor can be computed by passing it to Session.run(). t.eval() is a shortcut for calling tf.get_default_session().run(t).

If you want to get predictions rather than accuracy, you need to evaluate your ouput tensor y in the same way:

print(sess.run(y, feed_dict={x: mnist.test.images}))

Answer 2

prediction=tf.argmax(y,1)
print prediction.eval(feed_dict={x: mnist.test.images}).
