Week 3 - Evaluating Training

Learning Outcome

Has the training happened as expected, and achieved the outcome intelligence required. Here we delve deeper into understanding the outcomes.

3.1 Evaluating a trained model.
3.2 Could we have done better through another model, more training, or data.
3.3 Planning Test Case Selection, for various models, limitations, and methods.

Practical Componenet
Practically view outcomes of well assessed models, and the difference in predictions. Identify and understand potential flaws before starting.

Week 4- Fixing Problems that arise in process

Learning Outcome

Depict understanding of common problems that arise through training, and how to detect and fix them.

4.1 Overfitting, low test accuracy.
4.2 Lower predictability, high variance in output.
4.3 Concept understanding failure.

Practical Componenet
Showcase algorithms that have these flaws, and realise constructs to detect and evaluate them.
