Fit the model to the tournament basketball data

Now that the model is compiled, you are ready to fit it to some data!

In this exercise, you'll use a dataset of scores from US College Basketball tournament games. Each row of the dataset has the team ids: team_1 and team_2, as integers. It also has the seed difference between the teams (seeds are assigned by the tournament committee and represent a ranking of how strong the teams are) and the score difference of the game (e.g. if team_1 wins by 5 points, the score difference is 5).

To fit the model, you provide a matrix of X variables (in this case one column: the seed difference) and a matrix of Y variables (in this case one column: the score difference).

The games_tourney DataFrame along with the compiled model object is available in your workspace.

Current Exercise

Exercise 11: Evaluate the model on a test set

In this chapter, you will build two-input networks that use categorical embeddings to represent high-cardinality data, shared layers to specify re-usable building blocks, and merge layers to join multiple inputs to a single output. By the end of this chapter, you will have the foundational building blocks for designing neural networks with complex data flows.

In this chapter, you will extend your 2-input model to 3 inputs, and learn how to use Keras' summary and plot functions to understand the parameters and topology of your neural networks. By the end of the chapter, you will understand how to extend a 2-input model to 3 inputs and beyond.

In this chapter, you will build neural networks with multiple outputs, which can be used to solve regression problems with multiple targets. You will also build a model that solves a regression problem and a classification problem simultaneously.
