The materials of this learning event are available under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0.
The students will be expected to demonstrate and apply fundamental techniques/algorithms for the prediction and training of neural networks, including investigations for model bias and based around model regularisation. Compare, contrast and demonstrate appropriate hyper-parameters for training artificial neural networks with an emphasis on reproducibility (generalizability), transparency and interpretation. Use Deep Learning frameworks to implement Deep Learning models for classification and or regression tasks. This includes a strong focus on evaluation of the models, for performance and ethical considerations, resulting in transparency and explainable AI. This practical requires you to develop the most suitable AI model, where every suitable method for model development be employed to ensure the best generalization.
The tutorial is based on the following dataset [[1]] where the details of the attributes are contained in the lesson materials.
The tutorial will require the following headings. Where each heading should have (where appropriate) a rationale and description expanding the approach and its findings, code that executes the work, and in some cases a visual aid to further compound your findings. Use standard Jupyter notebook markdown, to crate headings and sections:
Introduction
Opening the dataset, Brief data exploration and data pre-processing
Model exploration to determine network topology
Hyperparameter investigation (learning parameters and optimization)
Most appropriate model selection
Grid search
Final Model presentation and performance evaluation
Please note the grid search will take some time, thus this may be completed outside of the tutorial time or the tutorial can be conducted in a flipped classroom mode of delivery.
