      "content": "<p>Thank you so much! Also, do you think its a good idea to make groups of two in the training, considering we only have only 1 FVC and 1 CT scan for testing. As apposed to making it time series problem, would it work if we instead make each training example 1 CT and 1 FVC. This way we get many more training examples and also simulate the actual test set.(Our target variables would be every FVC reading after the one taken for training,also very much like the test set).</p>",
