Look inside
In this liveProject, you’ll create and train your deep learning model to predict where a new Airbnb listing will be priced above or below average pricing. You’ll put pandas, Keras, and scikit-learn into action, and master key deep learning techniques for tracking model performance. You’ll learn to harness callbacks in the Keras deep learning framework to make model training more efficient, and how to ensure consistent results in multiple training runs.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
