Project

Machine Learning Project - Long Term Short Term Model [In Progress]
Machine Learning Project - Simple Pytorch Learning Model April 2025 Link

  • Built a fully functional machine learning model from scratch using PyTorch’s nn.Linear layer, demonstrating an understanding of model architecture, tensors, and data flow in neural networks.
  • Designed and implemented a custom training loop including forward propagation, loss calculation with nn.MSELoss, backpropagation, and weight updates with torch.optim.SGD.
  • Applied Mean Squared Error (MSE) loss function to measure model performance and optimize model parameters over multiple epochs to minimize prediction errors.
  • Demonstrated understanding of optimizers and gradient descent by manually updating model parameters based on calculated gradients to improve model accuracy over time.
  • Reduced model loss by over 80% over the training period, showing successful learning and convergence through iterative optimization.
  • Explained complex machine learning concepts (loss functions, optimizers, training loops) through a storytelling analogy ("Bob the Model and Coach Smith") to make foundational AI/ML principles more accessible to beginners.
  • Documented the project with a detailed README explaining the project goals, learning outcomes, model architecture, and future improvement plans, ensuring clarity for technical and non-technical audiences.

Machine Learning Project - Simple Learning Regression Model April 2025 Link
