🧠 1. Problem Statement – Real, Relevant, and Impactful You’ll choose a practical use case like:
- Predicting student dropout risk
- Recommending products or content
- Detecting fake news or spam
- Classifying customer feedback
🎯
We focus on problems companies care about.
🛠
2. Data Collection & Cleaning You’ll work with real-world datasets (CSV, APIs, or scrapers), and:
- Handle missing values
- Normalize and clean text/numbers
- Perform EDA (Exploratory Data Analysis)
🎯
Good models start with clean, meaningful data.
📊
3. Model Building & Training You’ll build ML pipelines using:
- Scikit-learn, Pandas, NumPy
- Logistic Regression, Decision Trees, SVMs
- Advanced models: Random Forest, XGBoost, or basic Neural Nets
🎯
Train, validate, and tune your model for real performance.
📈
4. Evaluation & Visualization You’ll learn to measure:
- Accuracy, Precision, Recall, F1-score
- Confusion matrix, ROC curves
- Insights using Matplotlib, Seaborn
🎯
Not just building models—understanding them.
💻
5. Project Deployment (Optional but Powerful) Push your project online:
- Use Flask or Streamlit
- Host on Render, Hugging Face, or GitHub Pages
- Add a simple UI to interact with your model
🎯
Now it’s portfolio-ready and recruiter-friendly.
✅ Final Output: A Complete, Polished ML Project You’ll graduate with:
- Clean code + well-documented notebooks
- A GitHub repo + demo link
- A project that solves a real-world problem
🔚 Final Thought AI/ML careers don’t start with theory.
They start with
proof of work—and that’s exactly what you’ll build in Meander’s Capstone Track.
One project. One outcome. One real opportunity.
