@EzraK one approach you can take to make sure you are achieving the optimum level of prediction on your model is by using three different sets of data, one for training, one more for testing and another for validation. You should use the training data for crafting your model, and at every iteration of the training, you will need to take a look...

I think that, if you are able to share your data with an AI, you should expect the AI to be able to explain how it is jumping to conclusions too. And that the task of explainable AI (xAI), a subfield in the aim to provide AI models that does not act as a black box, but instead are rich in justifications of the decisions they make.
Here's an article I have... -
Alí Adame replied to Harriet Leyland
Yes, you certainly can add more data to test and train, but you need to be careful specially on training because a model can become excessively trained and at some point it starts to underperform, this is know as overfitting.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overfitting

Absolutely, in the first case, the whole idea of a diagnosis fully performed by a machine would be unacceptable to many people. Although, the first approach is technically more privacy-centered.

It is with no doubt a big challenge as you say. Beginning with data, the available datasources might not be compatible, so we need to take a look in every metadata, compare them, decide which one is compatible to start analysing separately depending to every datasource.

One problem to achieve successful teams is the lack of enough specialists in the field. We need to do a lot of work on it.

@KipleyCampbell what you said is very interesting, I would say that one of the goals of the artificial intelligence and the philosophy of technology relies on the establishment of a universal moral framework to avoid damaging natural entities, like a human or a dog and artificial (non-hostile) and intelligent machines.

Related to structure, I would take a follow-up note to increase the usage of subheadings to help make content clearer.
Related to content I would make a note to "remember to comment on the sources used". And also, ensuring that writing contains the requested length, and all the requested topic would be important to remember for future work.

An example of cautious language is when the author refers to the findings on fruit waste and says:
"This is likely to be the case", instead of seems like or looks like.
He is telling that, there is evidence that supports his statement in a more sophisticated manner. Very interesting. -

Very important information, thanks for sharing that. The key point for me it is the importance of not reading all, because we might be searching for something in the reading or looking for some guidance from the content of readings.

@TatianaValencia I agree with you.

I think an additional statement could be to take notes of what others are saying, that could help specially if you are nervous and will help you to remember easily what is being discussed. Additionally that could led to discoveries to talk about during the seminar. Active note taking is a powerful technique that is not limited to lectures.

My name is Alí, and I am reviewing the marvelous material of this course, the first time I took this course I loved it because it's really self-explanatory about the main aspects and benefits of R. And the best part is that you can relate the content in the analysis of only one project. -
Your comment about the execution phase is so true. It's really hard to re-engage some of the stakeholders during the execution phase if they get uninterested about the project.

You can add that Deep learning (DL) differs from Machines learning (ML) in two major aspects:

Of course you are involved in projects. For example, being in this course it's a project, a small one but one, nonetheless.
As Professor said, the success of a project is measured against your objectives. Mine's (in terms of this course progress) are delayed due time constraints. -
@JcaribE of course. Less people in remedial facilities, more people being treated on time, less stressed. More happiness and life quality to patients and doctors as well.

One of my thoughts about APIs is that allow different types of software experiences by separating the "data" layers from the user interface.
