ML pipeline: from data to decisions

A set of interactive lessons built around one lecture deck — the pipeline that turns a dataset into a deployed decision.

Lessons

#LessonCovers
1From data to decisionsThe core pipeline: D→A→f̂_D, then x→f̂_D→s→δ→a
2Beyond the straight lineLinear vs. softmax regression vs. kNN — parametric vs. nonparametric
3Evaluation: how good is "good"?MSE, ROC/AUC, confusion matrices, thresholds, and group fairness
4Build the policyInteractive review exercise — the whole arc, one decision at a time
