  (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?
