🚀 Machine Learning Portfolio

From-Scratch Implementations & Library Benchmarks

📌 Overview

This repository showcases a machine learning portfolio focused on implementing core ML algorithms from scratch and benchmarking them against standard machine learning libraries.
The goal is to develop a strong understanding of model internals, optimization techniques, and evaluation rather than relying solely on high-level APIs.

🎯 Objectives

  • Implement fundamental machine learning algorithms from first principles
  • Understand optimization, loss functions, and convergence behavior
  • Compare custom implementations with scikit-learn models
  • Evaluate models using appropriate metrics
  • Build clean, reproducible, and well-documented ML code

🧠 Algorithms Implemented

✅ From Scratch

  • Linear Regression (Gradient Descent, Mean Squared Error)
  • Logistic Regression (Sigmoid)
  • K-Means Clustering (Distance-based clustering)
  • Evaluation Metrics (Accuracy, Precision, Recall, RMSE)

⚙️ Using Libraries (Benchmarking)

  • Linear Regression – scikit-learn
  • Logistic Regression – scikit-learn
  • K-Means – scikit-learn
  • Model evaluation and comparison

🔬 Methodology

Each algorithm follows a consistent ML workflow:

  1. Data preprocessing and feature scaling
  2. Algorithm implementation from scratch
  3. Model training using iterative optimization
  4. Performance evaluation using suitable metrics
  5. Comparison with library-based implementations
  6. Visualization and error analysis

📊 Results & Insights

  • Custom implementations achieve performance comparable to scikit-learn baselines on benchmark datasets
  • Loss curves and visualizations help analyze convergence behavior
  • Error analysis highlights strengths and limitations of each model

🛠 Tech Stack

  • Language: Python
  • Libraries: NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, scikit-learn
  • Tools: Jupyter Notebook, Git, GitHub

✅ Note

This project emphasizes fundamental understanding of machine learning algorithms.
Libraries are used intentionally after validating concepts through from-scratch implementations.
