I’m looking for simple ideas for practical projects to incorporate machine learning into. I’m also looking for something that a solo beginner could do using libraries like scikit learn. Any ideas? I’m not interested in simply predicting things. I’d like a practical application to fit it inside.

Here are some ideas -

- collection of news and finding the impact of news on stock prices ( NLP / Timeseries )

- put a camera in front of your street and predict daily traffic volume ( Computer Vision + prediction )

- predict the winners of the next UFC fight / NFL championship

Basically build a system on events that are currently happening / yet to happen in the near future and evaluate your results against the real outcomes.

​

If you want to do the whole end-to-end project here are the things you have to do -

Try the whole pipeline - starting from

  • data collection
  • cleaning the data ( build rules)
  • building the feature list
  • creating your analytical dataset
  • the complete model creation step
  • prediction
  • evaluation & interpretation of model result
  • deploy to production
  • evaluate model drift
  • model refresh
