A Neural Networks Approach to Predicting How Things Might Have Turned Out Had I Mustered the Nerve to Ask Barry Cottonfield to the Junior Prom Back in 1997 ( arxiv.org )

The first paragraph alone is gold, this is great

But they didn't know him like I did

Lmao

Now, a larger-than-necessary hidden
layer may increase computational demands and the likelihood of overfitting. These are not concerns for our purposes, however, as we have no time constraints and it is highly improbable that a realistic model of Barry can be over-trained (Consolidated Report Cards: 1986-1998).

Thank you for sharing this, I love everything about it.

Over-training is also discussed, although the linear algebra teacher assures us that in Barry's case this is not possible.

Brilliant.
