Description

Please indicate which paper you chose (or just circle it above):
Q1 (5pts): What is the problem that the network is meant to solve?
What features of the problem motivated the authors to choose their proposed network
structure (CNN or RNN)?
Q2 (5pts): Give a written or graphical description of the network’s architecture.
For each unique substructure (e.g. MPL or LSTM), give a brief definition of its purpose.
Q3 (5pts): How was the network evaluated? Define at least two performance metrics used.
For one of the performance metrics, explain how it’s calculated, and give an example case
e.g. For the performance metric of variance explained on evaluation data, the formula
is 1 – MSE/Variance.
An example case would be predicting [1.2, 1.8, 4] when the actual data is [1, 2, 3]
The MSE = [(1 – 1.2)^2 + (2 – 1.8)^2 + (3 – 4)^2] / 3 = 0.27
The Variance = [(1 – 2)^2 + (2 – 2)^2 + (3 – 2)^2] / 3 = 0.67
The variance explained = 1 – (0.27/0.67) = 0.595
