HW1.2

• Titanic dataset link has expired, alt: https://hbiostat.org/data/repo/titanic3.csv
• Boston dataset is no longer available with the current scikit-learn version, but can be loaded in manually

Question: In the tutorial, why are the keras and pytorch deep NNs (=<.7; not the experimental poisson & adagrad examples) performing worse on accuracy than the shallow NNs (>.9)? I’ve rerun my code a couple of times and the pattern stays.

HW1.2 Introducing Deep Learning

• In the section on LayerConductance for interpretability, I am a bit unclear why we apply the function on the sigmoid layer instead of the hidden layer. What is the intuition here?
