Module 5

Intro to ML

learner

This section should cover the fundamental concepts of Machine Learning, including the definition of ML, its applications, and the basic workflow of ML projects. Topics to cover may include data preprocessing, feature engineering, model training, evaluation, and deployment.

Types of ML:

Explain the different types of Machine Learning, primarily

  • Supervised Learning: Learning from labeled data with input-output pairs.

  • Unsupervised Learning: Learning from unlabeled data to find patterns and relationships.

  • Reinforcement Learning: Learning through interactions with an environment to achieve goals.

ML Libraries:

Cover two popular Python ML libraries for building ML models:

  • TensorFlow: Explain its role in building neural networks and deep learning models.

  • Keras: Emphasize its user-friendly API and its compatibility with TensorFlow for quick model prototyping.

Life Project - CV Models:

In this project, you'll work on building computer vision (CV) models. The steps involved may include:

  • Data Collection: Gather a suitable dataset for the CV task.

  • Data Preprocessing: Clean, augment, and prepare the data for model training.

  • Model Selection: Choose appropriate pre-trained models or architectures for your CV task.

  • Model Training: Fine-tune or train the selected models on your dataset.

  • Model Evaluation: Measure the model's performance using relevant metrics.

  • Deployment: If applicable, deploy the model to make predictions on new data.

Data Annotation:

Data annotation involves labeling or annotating data to train supervised ML models. This project could include:

  • Learning about different types of annotations (e.g., bounding boxes, segmentation masks, etc.).

  • Using annotation tools or libraries to annotate data for your CV project.

  • Understanding best practices for data annotation to ensure high-quality training data.
