Which Loss Function, Optimizer and LR to Choose for Neural Networks  @misraturp

Neural Networks have a lot of knobs and buttons you have to set correctly to get the best possible performance out of it. Although some of them are self-explanatory and easy to understand (like the number of neurons in the input layer) and choose, there are many hyperparameters that are a bit more complex in terms of how they affect the outcome of the model (e.g. number of layers, the batch size or weight initialization).

In this lesson, we will learn about the loss functions, the optimizer and the learning rate of neural networks. We will take a look at the options for these hyperparameters and how they affect the performance of the network.
