Simple MLP classifier for particles in a specific detector (data set from http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/SUSY).

This is a classification problem to distinguish between a signal process which produces supersymmetric particles and a background process which does not.

Examples of data visualization:

• hidden_layer_sizes=(11,11,11,11,11)
• learning_rate_init = 0.05

AUC = 0.73+-0.12 (k-fold k=5)

• hidden_layer_sizes=(10,10,10)
• learning_rate_init = 0.05

AUC: 0.792+-0.002 (k-fold k=5)
