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).
