MACHINE LEARNING#2

A subset of artificial intelligence focused on building systems that learn from data, improving their performance over time without being explicitly programmed.

CREDIT RISK ASSESSMENT#3

The process of evaluating the likelihood that a borrower will default on a loan, utilizing various quantitative and qualitative factors.

DATA PREPARATION#4

The process of cleaning and organizing raw data into a usable format, essential for effective analysis and model building.

ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS#5

The principles guiding the responsible use of AI and machine learning, ensuring fairness, transparency, and accountability in decision-making.

LOGISTIC REGRESSION#6

A statistical method for predicting binary outcomes, commonly used in credit risk modeling to classify borrowers as low or high risk.

DECISION TREES#7

A flowchart-like model used for classification and regression tasks, providing clear decision paths based on feature values.

MODEL EVALUATION#8

The process of assessing a predictive model's performance using various metrics to ensure reliability and accuracy.

OVERFITTING#9

A modeling error that occurs when a model learns noise in the training data, leading to poor performance on unseen data.

UNDERFITTING#10

A scenario where a model is too simple to capture the underlying trend of the data, resulting in poor predictive performance.

FEATURE ENGINEERING#11

The process of selecting, modifying, or creating variables (features) to improve the performance of machine learning models.

CROSS-VALIDATION#12

A technique for assessing how the results of a statistical analysis will generalize to an independent dataset, enhancing model robustness.

ROC CURVE#13

A graphical representation of a model's diagnostic ability, plotting true positive rates against false positive rates.

CONFUSION MATRIX#14

A table used to evaluate the performance of a classification model by summarizing true positives, false positives, true negatives, and false negatives.

HYPERPARAMETER TUNING#15

The process of optimizing the parameters that govern the learning process of a machine learning model to improve performance.
