I developed a proprietary application specific neural network framework for an undisclosed use case. Over the course of two and a half months I designed and deployed deep neural networks with varying objectives and optimization tricks. Along the way I read many research papers on Neural Networks which helped me pick up relevant nuggets to apply on the problem at hand. While contemporary algorithms had been tested on a limited dataset our method generalized to a much wider set of samples and we are currently better than all the contemporary methods by a margin of 10%.
