• Graphical tool for the definition and estimation of neural networks for different example datasets

• Example of the effect of overfitting and regularization

Until next week you should...

• enroll into the Coursera course “Advanced Learning Algorthms” and watch the videos of the sections “Neural networks intuition” and “TensorFlow implementation”.

• further extend the dataset with additional variables that could be relevant for estimating revenue.

• Test your model's predictive performance on Kaggle!
