Welcome! This is a place for people to learn more about machine learning techniques, discuss applications and ask questions.

Example questions:

"Should I use a deep neural network for my audio classification task?"
"I'm working with a small dataset, what can I do to make my model generalize well?"
"Is there a library available that implements function X in language Y?"
"I want to learn more about the math behind machine learning technique A, where should I start?"

[Repost Q] Is a common that a KNN is more accurate than neural network? (sh.itjust.works)

Not OP. This question is being reposted to preserve technical content removed from elsewhere. Feel free to add your own answers/discussion.

Original question:

I got a data set from high performance liquid chromatography, because hplc is expensive we only got about 39 data point. Each data point is 9 dimension, representing 9different substances concentration. I tried different network and the accuracy is not higher than 50%. (We have four classes) however the KNN has a accuracy of more than 90%. I remember hearing that neural network is not good on small data set. Is this the reason? I have not tried svm or other traditional machine learning models yet. Should I try them if yes which one
