  "content": "<p>Hi all,</p>\n<p>I have been studying DL the past few months. I entered this comp to practice some of the ideas. I implemented a CNN using theano for this comp. About 90% randomly sampled images from the whole image set are used for training and the rest as a validation set. The best RMSE I got on the validation set is around 0.11, which gives my current LB score. Has anyone else been using CNN? What is your validation set RMSE if you feel like sharing? I wonder if I can push 0.11 down to 0.10 or even 0.09 using CNN...</p>\n<p>Yr</p>",
