@kvarada thank you! Are we still doing 2 sections in teh afternoon section? for those who do know how to code and those who does not? Or we merge everyone together?
@yuliaUU Based on the survey results, I think it makes sense to have just one section focused on ML problem framing. That seems like the most useful approach for this audience. Some people will bring their own problems, while others will work on the datasets we provide. We’ll offer guiding questions (like the ones mentioned above) to help with ML problem framing. What do you think?
@kvarada yes, better to keep things simple! i like the idea that students can bring their dataset and get help with discussing what can work best for their data
Is the provided dataset appropriate for the specified objective? What type of data would ideally solve your problem or research question? Are there better-suited datasets available for this objective?
Clearly define the expected input and the 'ideal' output. Determine if machine learning is the appropriate method for addressing this problem.
If machine learning is deemed suitable, what should the model aim to achieve? How would you measure the model's performance?
How would a human tackle this issue? Can you propose any heuristic methods to solve this problem?
What are the major steps required to resolve this problem?
Draw a diagram that illustrates the input, output, and key stages of the problem-solving process.
Which type of machine learning would be best suited for your problem?
What specific machine learning technique would be most effective for this problem?
@tonyshumlh
Thanks for putting this together. I'm not sure whether it's ready for my review yet but I would also describe a scenario and your objective. Something as shown below:
Imagine you work at a bank, and the current fraud detection model isn't performing well. Your boss asks you to explore machine learning approaches to improve the detection and flagging of fraudulent credit card transactions. While researching online, you find Credit Card Fraud Detection dataset on Kaggle that could be useful for creating a prototype.
And then ask them to brainstorm the provided questions
@kvarada I agree. I have refined the problem framing example in workshop-12.qmd
and added your questions in workshop-10.qmd
I would continue to consolidate the example topics + dataset in workshop-11.qmd
@kvarada @p-bajpai @p-bajpai Added the example topics and datasets. Great if you can review the content and the layout (there is some issue with my Quarto preview). Thank you.
@yuliaUU, Just so you know, this is for the afternoon lab session. From the survey, it seems there’s a lot of interest in framing machine learning problems. Some participants will bring their own datasets and research problems. These materials are for those who haven’t brought their own. If you have some time, it would be great if you could contribute to this.
