Every model looks at the data differently. They have their own algorithms. These algorithms provide us with different perspectives to look at the data. Sometimes, just changing the perception of looking at the data can give us improved results. The different algorithms capitalize on unique aspects of data. Let's see how we can do this with the help of an example:

  1. Bring your data, and partition it into training and testing datasets.
  2. Connect the Partition node to a Neural Net node from the Modeling palette:
