Introducing the business scenario
In this section, you'll be introduced to the business scenario that will be handled with the DNNs technique.
The business scenario is very similar to the use case presented and used in Chapter 4, Predicting Numerical Values with Linear Regression. In this chapter, we'll use the same dataset related to the New York City bike-sharing service, but we'll apply more advanced machine learning algorithms.
We can remember that the hypothetical goal of the ML model is to predict the trip time of a bike rental. The predicted value could be used to provide a better experience to the customers of the bike-sharing service through the new mobile application. Leveraging the predicted ride duration, the customer will get a clear indication of the time it will take to reach a specific destination and also an estimation of the ride cost.
Now that we've explained and understood the business scenario, let's take a look at the machine...
