I’m looking for a mentor who can help me grasp core machine-learning concepts with a strong emphasis on how models are trained, validated, and ultimately judged. My immediate goal isn’t to build an app or optimise a production pipeline; instead, I want to understand the fundamentals well enough to make confident, informed decisions when I start tackling real-world projects later on. Here’s what I need: • A clear, structured learning path that walks me through the full training workflow—data splits, cross-validation, hyper-parameter tuning, and model selection—using Python and libraries such as scikit-learn (with room to branch into TensorFlow or PyTorch once the basics are solid). • Practical explanations of evaluation metrics—accuracy, precision, recall, F1, ROC AUC—and when each one matters. • Short coding exercises or notebooks after each session, plus feedback on my solutions so I can correct mistakes quickly. • Live voice or video sessions (screen-sharing friendly) where I can ask questions in real time, ideally once or twice a week. By the end of our engagement I should be able to: – Design an experiment that avoids leakage and overfitting. – Choose sensible metrics for different problem types. – Interpret learning curves and adjust training procedures accordingly. If you’re patient, enjoy teaching beginners, and have solid hands-on experience with modern ML tooling, I’d love to hear how you would structure our time together and what materials you would provide.

Hi there, I hope this can be my first project with you. I’d be really happy to work together! Your goal makes perfect sense. Understanding why models succeed or fail is much more valuable than simply knowing how to run training scripts. I'm a software engineer with a background in Python, application development, and technical problem-solving. I'd structure our sessions around practical examples, starting with scikit-learn before introducing TensorFlow or PyTorch. Here's my proposed learning plan: - Understand training, validation, and testing datasets. - Learn cross-validation and prevent data leakage. - Explore hyperparameter tuning and model selection. - Evaluate models using accuracy, precision, recall, F1, and ROC AUC. - Interpret learning curves and recognize overfitting. - Complete practical Python notebooks with exercises and feedback. Each session would combine clear explanations, live coding, and practical exercises. I'd suggest starting with one introductory session to assess your current knowledge and establish a personalized learning roadmap. Would you prefer 60-minute or 90-minute sessions? I'd be happy to discuss your learning goals and schedule. Best regards, Jeremy

Python and TensorFlow are both listed, so I'll assume that's your working stack unless you say otherwise. Rather than lecture theory, I'd have you build and evaluate a real model, starting with data prep and metrics, then move into PyTorch once the fundamentals click. Can start today, first session ready within a day or two. The budget and timeline here are rough starting points based on the post, we'll firm them up once I know your current level and target topics. Want to jump on a quick call?

Treat the bid amount and timeline as rough starting points, we'll firm them up once we know how many sessions you're thinking and over what period. What you're after makes a lot of sense. You don't want to ship something yet, you want to build the mental model first , understand why a model fails, how to catch leakage before it bites you, and how to actually read what the numbers are telling you. That's a solid foundation before touching any real project, and it's the kind of learning that sticks. Here's how we'd structure our time together: - Learning path: a session-by-session plan covering data splits and cross-validation first, then hyperparameter tuning and model selection, with scikit-learn as the main tool before branching into TensorFlow or PyTorch once the core ideas are solid. - Evaluation metrics: practical walkthroughs of accuracy, precision, recall, F1 and ROC AUC with examples of when each one is the right call and why the wrong choice can quietly mislead you. - Hands-on notebooks: short coding exercises in Jupyter after each session, with written feedback on your solutions so you can spot and fix gaps right away rather than carrying misunderstandings forward. - Live sessions: one to two video calls per week with screen sharing so you can ask questions in real time and we can walk through code together rather than you staring at an error alone. After a short chat about your current level and how many hours a week you can put in, we'll put together a written plan with session topics, materials and a firm price. Want to jump on a quick call this week so we can sketch out the first few sessions? Best, 96 Studio

As a Python and Machine Learning developer with 2 plus years of experience, I can mentor you through practical model training, validation, evaluation, and experiment design. Poor validation choices can make a model appear accurate while failing on unseen data. I would structure sessions around scikit learn notebooks, covering leakage prevention, train validation splits, cross validation, hyperparameter tuning, model selection, and metrics such as F1 and ROC AUC. The key technical trade off is choosing evaluation metrics based on class imbalance and business consequences rather than defaulting to accuracy. Would you prefer binary classification examples first, or should we use regression alongside classification? Happy to discuss details in chat. Regards, Fizza Mushtaq

Hi! I can walk you through ML training and evaluation from the ground up. We'll cover the core ideas in plain language, then the math behind them — loss functions, gradient descent, why your model underfits or overfits. I'll show you how to pick the right metric for your problem (accuracy vs F1 vs ROC-AUC, and when each one lies to you), and we'll run small TensorFlow examples so you can see it working. I can also review your existing code and debug it with you line by line. To make the session useful right away, tell me: what dataset or model are you working on? Then I'll tailor the examples to it. Thanks! Cole / JC Works

At $10-30 this needs to be scoped as one focused session, not open-ended mentoring, otherwise you get rushed answers on train/validation/test splits, overfitting, and metric selection without the reasoning sticking. I'd structure it around a concrete example: pick one small dataset or problem type you're curious about, walk through why a split is chosen, what metric fits the judgment call (accuracy vs precision/recall vs RMSE), and where cross-validation earns its keep versus just adding noise. Happy to do a free 15-minute call here on Freelancer first to confirm what you already know and what's actually worth covering in the paid session, no payment or commitment needed. Do you have a specific dataset or problem type in mind, or should the session use a generic example to teach the concepts? Kind regards, Dixon

Hi, I'm Zaryab. I can mentor you through ML fundamentals with a focus on training, validation, and evaluation — using Python and scikit-learn, with room to branch into TensorFlow or PyTorch once the basics are solid. How I'd structure our time: - **Session 1–2** — full training workflow: train/val/test splits, cross-validation, why leakage and overfitting happen and how to avoid them. - **Session 3–4** — evaluation metrics: accuracy, precision, recall, F1, ROC-AUC — with examples of when each is the right choice, and why accuracy often misleads. - **Session 5–6** — hyper-parameter tuning, model selection, and reading learning curves to decide what to adjust. - **Ongoing** — a short notebook exercise after each session, with written feedback on your solutions so mistakes get corrected before the next topic. Cadence: 1–2 live voice/video sessions per week, screen-share friendly. I'll share a structured learning path up front and point you to free, high-quality resources rather than paid ones. By the end, you should be able to design experiments without leakage, choose sensible metrics per problem type, and interpret learning curves confidently. Quick questions: - What's your current Python level — comfortable with pandas/numpy, or starting fresh? - Do you have a specific ML problem in mind to anchor the exercises, or would you rather work on standard datasets? - Preferred session times and timezone? Best, Zaryab

Learning ML fundamentals from a mentor works when every concept arrives with the decision it lets you make. Here is the path I would walk you through, and the order matters. 1. Week one, the workflow itself: train/validation/test split, why the test set is touched exactly once, and cross-validation. You write the split code yourself so you feel where the leakage happens. The single most common mistake at this stage is scaling or feature-selecting before the split - the model then looks great in validation and disappoints in production. I make you reproduce that failure once on purpose, because you will not repeat it after that. 2. Week two, metrics as decisions, not numbers. Accuracy, precision, recall, F1, ROC AUC, and what each one is lying about. Concretely: on a dataset that is 95% negative, predicting "negative" for everything scores 95% accuracy and is useless; that is the week accuracy stops being your default. You will compute all of them on the same model and explain to me which one you would ship and why. 3. Week three, hyper-parameter tuning: grid versus random search versus Bayesian, and why random search is usually the right first move. We also cover what a learning curve tells you - whether you need more data or a better model - because that is the question that decides most real projects. 4. Week four onwards, model selection end to end on one small dataset of your choosing, then the same workflow rebuilt in TensorFlow or PyTorch once the scikit-learn version is solid. Each session is 60 minutes with a working notebook, and you get a written summary plus two exercises. I review your code and tell you what I would change, not just whether it runs. Two things worth knowing early, because they change conclusions rather than just improve them: cross-validation must contain your preprocessing inside the loop, or your scores are optimistic by a wide margin; and ROC AUC is over-optimistic on heavily imbalanced data, which is where the precision-recall curve is the honest picture. Tell me your current level - have you trained any model before, and in what language - and I will adjust the path. First session can be this week; bring your own dataset if you have one.

I have done My AIML course clear about conceptlike training workflows, data splitting strategies, cross-validation techniques, hyperparameter tuning, and model selection. I’m also proficient in Python and have a good understanding of popular libraries like scikit-learn for ML modeling. In addition to that, one skill that stands out and aligns with your immediate goal is my solid hands-on experience with modern ML tooling. I believe that teaching should not just be about theories but focused on practical implementation as well. So, in our sessions, after comprehensively explaining fundamental concepts, I’ll provide you with coding exercises and evaluate your solutions giving you direct actionable feedback for quick correction. I understand the importance of real-time query resolution while learning complex subjects like Machine Learning. Therefore, I propose at least once or twice-weekly voice or video sessions where you can ask any questions you may have. These sessions will also include screen-sharing making it more engaging. Finally, since your end goal includes being able to design a tight experimental process to minimize overfitting and leakage, as well as ensuring proper metric selection, it’s worth noting that these are some core aspects of my expertise that we can delve into deeply. I look forward to working with you to solidify your ML skills!
