Can you add few more steps to include visualisations and also the following matter should follow nips pdf report structure.  Step 1: Loading the Dataset

The code starts by loading the dataset using Pandas’ read_csv function. It then uses the head function to display the first few rows of data. To get a summary of the dataset, the describe function is used which provides a statistical summary of the data. Finally, a histogram is plotted to display the distribution of the target variable, which is the binary variable that the model will predict.

Step 2: Preprocessing the Dataset

The preprocessing section of the code consists of two parts - identifying categorical columns and handling missing values. The select_dtypes function from Pandas is used to filter out the categorical columns from the dataset, the unique values of these categorical columns are then examined to ensure that there are no invalid values present. The invalid values are then replaced with null values using pd.NA.

Next, the feature columns are examined for missing values. The missing values are returned in the form of a Pandas Series by using isna().sum(). The missing values are handled by filling them with either the mode or mean values of the respective columns. Finally, the dataset is converted to a numeric form using the astype method.

Step 3: Defining the Neural Network Architecture

The architecture of the neural network is defined using the nn.Module class from PyTorch. The input size of the model is determined by the number of features in the dataset, and the output size is always 1 as the model is performing binary classification. The hidden size specifies the number of units in each of the 3 hidden layers. Each of the hidden layers, except for the last one, uses the ReLU activation function, and the last layer uses the sigmoid activation function to produce the binary output.

Step 4: Training the Neural Network Model

The parameters required for training the model - the number of epochs, the batch size, and the learning rate - are defined at the start of the training loop. The training set and the test set are created using the train_test_split function from Scikit Learn, and the training begins by iterating over all batches of data and applying the backpropagation algorithm. After every iteration, the training and test loss are calculated, and the training and test accuracy are measured. The final loss and accuracy are printed to the console along with a confusion matrix.

Step 5: Saving the Trained Model’s Weights

The trained weights of the model are saved using the torch.save function. The saved file can then be loaded in a new instance of the model to make predictions on new data.

Overall, the model performs well with a final training accuracy of 83.17% and a test accuracy of 75.32%. The training loss is 0.3932, and the test loss is 0.5405. The confusion matrix shows that the model achieved good results in correctly identifying true positive and true negative samples while making few errors on false positive and false negative samples.

In conclusion, this code demonstrates how to preprocess a dataset and train a neural network model using PyTorch to perform binary classification. The trained model shows good accuracy and minimized loss while correctly categorizing the majority of the data samples.
