Module 2: Data preparation and feature pipelines

AINS6002 — Machine Learning & Predictive Modeling

Essential Question

How do preprocessing choices shape model behavior?

Core Moves

• Define the problem boundary

• Identify evidence and assumptions

• Build or evaluate the artifact

• Communicate limits and next actions

Lab & Assignment

Build a reproducible train/validation preprocessing pipeline.

Use the assignment notebook to turn lab evidence into a defensible recommendation.
