Define a useful prediction problem
Choose a low-stakes learning task, such as classifying sample flower measurements. Identify what a prediction means and when the input becomes available.
Break it down
01Build it yourself
Write a one-page problem statement: who would use the result, what the input and target represent, and what a wrong prediction would cost. Use a documented teaching dataset, not private student records or a real eligibility decision.
02Ready to move on?
Explain why prediction is useful here and when a simple rule would be enough. Record dataset origin, permitted use and limitations before training.
