From mastering core algorithms to navigating model selection and evaluation, this roadmap provides a structured approach to becoming proficient in scikit-learn. Let's dive into some of the key experiments that will accelerate your learning and practical expertise.
Comparing Linear Bayesian Regressors
Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 35 minutes
This lab uses a synthetic dataset to compare two different Bayesian regressors: Automatic Relevance Determination and Bayesian Ridge Regression. The first part of the lab compares the models' coefficients with respect to the true coefficients by using an Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) model as a baseline. In the last section, the lab plots predictions and uncertainties for the ARD and the Bayesian Ridge regressions using a polynomial feature expansion to fit a non-linear relationship between X and y.

Bias-Variance Decomposition with Bagging
Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 30 minutes
In this lab, we will explore the concept of bias-variance decomposition and how it relates to single estimators versus bagging ensembles. We will use scikit-learn to generate and visualize toy regression problems and compare the expected mean squared error of a single estimator versus a bagging ensemble of decision trees.

Simple Handwritten Character Recognition Classifier
Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 5 minutes
In this challenge, we will be implementing a simple handwritten character recognition classifier. Using the DIGITS dataset provided by the scikit-learn library, we will build a function that can classify a single sample of a handwritten character image. The objective is to create a function that takes in a list representing the pixel values of the image and returns the predicted label for the character. The function should achieve a cross-validated classification accuracy of at least 80% on the DIGITS dataset.

Anomaly Detection Algorithms Comparison
Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 25 minutes
This lab compares different anomaly detection algorithms on two-dimensional datasets. The datasets contain one or two modes (regions of high density) to illustrate the ability of algorithms to cope with multimodal data. For each dataset, 15% of samples are generated as random uniform noise. Decision boundaries between inliers and outliers are displayed in black except for Local Outlier Factor (LOF) as it has no predict method to be applied on new data when it is used for outlier detection.
