Test Run - Neural Binary Classification Using CNTK
Binary classification attempts to predict into which of two groups an item in a given set should be placed. There are many techniques that can be used to tackle binary classification problems. James McCaffrey explains how to use the Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit (CNTK) library to create a neural network binary classification model. The goal of a binary classification problem is to make a prediction where the value to predict can take one of just two possible values. There are many approaches to this problem, but in this article I'll show how the CNTK library can create a neural network binary classification model.
