What does structured/tabular data mean? are all data not structured/tabular?

@user3489173 Nope. Text data isn't tabular for example.

AFAIK this is still a research topic. Are you starting a PhD on it?

no,  but still for some specific  problems it is well-known that some architectures work better.

# What type of ANN architecture to choose?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-05-04)

I have $N$ number of teachers each of which has an input feature vector ($25$ dimensional) consisting of positive numerical values for different quality of aspects (for example: lecturing ability, knowledge capacity, communication skills, etc.). I want to design an ANN to output a single quality index based on these quality features.

What type of ANN architecture is appropriate for this problem?
