ML Model Training
Training machine learning models involves selecting appropriate algorithms, preparing data, and optimizing model parameters to achieve strong predictive performance.
Training Phases
- Data Preparation: Cleaning, encoding, normalization
- Feature Engineering: Creating meaningful features
- Model Selection: Choosing appropriate algorithms

- Validation: Cross-validation and evaluation metrics
- Deployment: Preparing models for production
Common Algorithms
- Regression: Linear, Ridge, Lasso, Random Forest
- Classification: Logistic, SVM, Random Forest, Gradient Boosting
- Clustering: K-Means, DBSCAN, Hierarchical
- Neural Networks: MLPs, CNNs, RNNs, Transformers

Training Best Practices
- Data Split: 70/15/15 for train/validation/test
- Scaling: Normalize features before training
- Cross-validation: Use K-fold for robust evaluation
- Early Stopping: Prevent overfitting
- Class Balancing: Handle imbalanced datasets
Key Metrics
- Accuracy: Overall correctness
- Precision: Positive prediction accuracy
- Recall: True positive detection rate
- F1 Score: Harmonic mean of precision/recall
- ROC-AUC: Threshold-independent metric
Deliverables
- Trained model checkpoint
- Performance metrics on test set
- Feature importance analysis
- Learning curves
- Hyperparameter configuration
- Model evaluation report
