The full workflow
Real projects involve far more than training models: understanding the problem, finding and cleaning data, choosing metrics, testing, explaining results and presenting to non-technical people.
Mentorship
Regular reviews from mentors who work in the field help you avoid common mistakes and learn professional habits faster than studying alone.
