Every Machine Learning project follows a structured path — from understanding the problem to deploying the final model. In this lesson, you’ll learn the **7 key steps** of the ML lifecycle.
Understand the business problem. What do we want to predict, classify, or optimize?
Gather raw data from sources like CSV files, databases, APIs, or sensors.
Handle missing values, duplicates, outliers, and format inconsistencies.
Create new features or transform existing ones to improve model performance.
Choose an algorithm and train your model on the prepared data.
Test model accuracy using metrics like MAE, MSE, Accuracy, Precision, F1-score.
Deploy the model into a real-world application via API or dashboard.
ML is not just about building models — it’s about solving problems, cleaning data, evaluating results, and putting the model to use. Mastering the ML lifecycle is key to real-world success.
