Using MindsDB to Develop a Lasso Regression Model for Prediction #172

Open josephotienoowino opened 1 year ago

josephotienoowino commented 1 year ago

Overview

This project aims to develop a Lasso Regression model for prediction using MindsDB, an open-source automated machine learning framework. The primary goal is to showcase how MindsDB can simplify the building, training, and deploying AI models, especially in linear regression with L1 regularization (Lasso Regression).

Scope

  1. Introduce MindsDB and its capabilities in the context of Lasso Regression.
  2. Guide the reader through the installation and setup process for the required libraries and tools.
  3. Demonstrate data loading and preprocessing techniques for preparing the dataset.
  4. Show how to train a Lasso Regression model using MindsDB by enabling L1 regularization through the l1_lambda parameter.
  5. Explain the process of model evaluation, highlighting the automatic cross-validation performed by MindsDB.
  6. Illustrate how to make predictions on new, unseen data using the trained Lasso Regression model.
  7. Conclude by emphasizing the simplicity and power of MindsDB in machine learning tasks, and recommend adjusting the l1_lambda parameter for optimal results.

By following this project, readers will better understand how to leverage MindsDB to build a Lasso Regression model for prediction tasks, as well as the advantages of using an automated machine learning framework for model development, training, and deployment.
