Lab trails →Logistic Regression, From Scratch
Classification
Two continuous features, one binary label. Fit a classifier and score accuracy on held-out rows; a majority-class guess scores 0.60.
Spam Filter
NLP
Classify messages from six keyword counts. F1 is measured for the spam class, and predicting every message as ham scores 0.00.
House Price Regression
Regression
Estimate sale price from size, bedrooms, and age. Lower is better: predicting the training mean scores an MSE of 2879.57.
Noisy Quadratic
Regression
The target follows a noisy quadratic in one feature. Explain the variance on held-out data; a straight-line fit only reaches R-squared 0.26.
K-Means Segmenter
Clustering
Four well-separated groups in feature space, each with its own target level. Cluster the training rows and predict a value per test row; predicting the global mean scores R-squared 0.00.
Credit Default Detector
Classification
Only about a third of applicants default. F1 is measured for the default class, and predicting everyone as safe scores 0.00.
Robust Sensor Calibration
Regression
Two sensor readings predict a target, but a few training rows are corrupted by outliers. Lower is better: the training-mean baseline scores an MSE of 84.91.
XOR Boundary
Classification
An XOR label over two features: no linear boundary beats 0.75 accuracy. Reach 0.90 on held-out rows with an engineered interaction.
