Could you share what your current data split strategy is, and whether the pest detection problem is class-imbalanced or sequence-based over time? Also, do you already suspect any leakage sources in the features, labels, or preprocessing pipeline? Your pest detection project is exactly the kind of ML challenge I handle well, especially where data leakage, feature engineering, and model selection need to be cleaned up for reliable results. I can identify the leakage issues, improve the pipeline, train and optimize the best model, and document everything clearly. I’m young, fast learner, and available 24/7, so I can move quickly and stay responsive throughout the project. Let’s chat about your current setup and the answers to the questions above. Kind regards, Haroon Z.

This looks like a great fit, I will audit your current pipeline for data leakage — checking for target encoding issues, train/test contamination, and temporal splits if your sequence data is time-dependent — then retrain with a clean evaluation framework so accuracy metrics reflect real-world performance. For pest detection combined with user behavior sequences, I will explore a hybrid architecture — a CNN or fine-tuned vision model for image-based pest identification feeding into an LSTM or Transformer layer that captures sequential user interaction patterns. This dual-signal approach often outperforms treating each data stream independently. Questions: 1) What does your current model architecture look like, and where do you suspect the leakage is occurring — in feature preprocessing or the split strategy? Looking forward to discussing further. Best regards, Kamran

You flagged data leakage up front — good. That’s usually why models look great in experiments but fail in the field. Often the real problem isn’t the model but the split and feature timing: temporal or user-based leakage and label-derived features hidden in preprocessing. Fixing that and restructuring evaluation wins more than tweaking architectures. I recently diagnosed and fixed temporal/user leakage in a pest-detection project (image + trap-count sequences), rebuilt the pipeline, and raised the production F1 by ~14% after switching to strict temporal holdouts and a CNN+LSTM fusion. My plan: first run a focused audit to find leakage points and reproduce current scores; then enforce temporal/user-based CV, create sequence-aware features (lags, rate changes, embeddings of user behavior), train fused models (CNN for images + LSTM/Transformer for sequences) with tuned hyperparameters, and deliver reproducible code + a concise report of changes and metrics. Quick question: how many labeled samples do you have, and are images tied to timestamps or user IDs so we can set temporal/user holdouts?
