This is the main work that is done in parallel with the engineering effort that is mostly happening elsewhere. In this tutorial we will walk through how to get better performance out of your model and a bunch of tips and tricks.

This workshop is for folks with a background in statistics, machine learning and specifically neural networks. We will be walking through a number of techniques for tuning networks.
