I'm trying to build a neural network for a problem I'm dealing with
but the trouble is: I have a small dataset to train the network with.
The networks I've tried didn't learn very much. Does anyone have a
good suggestions how to tackle this problem, e.g. which network to
use, which data pretreatment to use etcetera?? Or is it just hopeless
if you have a smaal dataset??

Any suggestion is welcome. Thanks.
