Multi-layer Neural Network with Early Stopping
Dataset: ILPD Indian Liver Patient Dataset (UCI ID: 225)

Early Stopping is a regularization technique that monitors validation performance
and stops training when validation loss stops improving. This prevents overfitting
by avoiding training for too many epochs.
