# Week 5 - Practical Aspects of Deep Learning ### This week you will.. Get practical hints about initialization and regularization techniques to avoid overfitting and improving the training of a neural network. ### Learning Resources ### Slides {% embed url="" %} ### Until next week you should... * Form the groups, decide the project and communicate it to the teacher. * Finish the second week of the [Improving Deep Neural Network Course](https://www.coursera.org/learn/deep-neural-network/home/welcome) * Do the Programming Assignment ### --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://opencampus.gitbook.io/opencampus-machine-learning-program/courses/archive/deep-learning/week-6-practical-aspects-of-deep-learning.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
