Project: End-to-End ML Mini Pipeline

Build a complete ML pipeline from preprocessing to evaluation. Pick a real dataset, define a metric, compare at least two model families, and produce a concise model card.

Project brief

Build a complete ML pipeline from preprocessing to evaluation. Pick a real dataset, define a metric, compare at least two model families, and produce a concise model card.

  • Data quality checks and feature report.
  • Baseline + improved model comparison.
  • Error analysis for top failure cases.
  • Deployment idea (batch API or dashboard).

Minimal training script structure

if __name__ == "__main__":
    X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = load_data("data.csv")
    metrics = train_and_evaluate(X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test)
    print(metrics)
