Charity Funding Success Predictor
(Deep Machine Learning Demonstration)

Overview:

This project utilizes a TensorFlow Keras neural network model to predict the successfulness funding various charities for Alphabet Soup. It illustrates how prediction performance can be improved with various data preprocessing techniques and also careful model parameter optimization.

To examine the data, code files, and final report, their locations are indicated in the tree below.
