Check 2 Ideas#

For Check 2, all of the prompts from check 1 apply, plus the following additional prompts, since there are new skills.

If you have other ideas, you can also ask and those are likely posible.

Level 1 Achievement Catchup#

To make up level 1 achievements, include a detailed introduction file to your portfolio and one of the following (per skill):

  • minor extensions to what we did in class

  • answers to problems from the notes

  • additional glossary terms

  • psuedocode for one of the other prompts

Extend Assignment 7, 8, or 9#

Assignments 7-9 help you think through what machine learning tasks are. Extend those ideas by adding additional experiments based on your own questions or the questions in your feedback.

Build a data set for Prediction#

Build a dataset that works for prediction (classification, regression, or clustering) from other sources.

Learn a new model#

Repeat what you did in 7, 8, or 9, with a different model.

Create datasets that fail#

Create datasets that violate assumptions of a model we have learned. The sklearn data generators are a good place to start.

Process level 3#

Process level 3 is a little different than most of the others. You may be able to work it into an analysis notebook, but likely, you’ll need to do one of the following.

Data Science Pipeline Comparisons#

Find two different sources that describe the data science pipeline or lifecycle. Write a blog style post that discusses their differences and hypothesizes about why they may be different? Are they for different audiences? Is one domain specific? How do they emphasize different modeling tasks? Include a Recommendation for when you think each one is better

Write a short story#

Write a short story that explains the concepts of data science to demonstrate your understanding of process.

Media Review#

Watch/listen/read to an episode of a high quality1 podcast or other type of meida and write a blog style summary and review. Highlight what you learned and how it relates to topics covered in class.
