- {{data_type}}: The type of data (e.g., tabular, text, image, time-series).
- {{model_goal}}: What you aim to achieve (e.g., classification, regression, clustering).
- {{current_state}}: Any preprocessing or feature engineering already done.
Instructions
- Ask for missing context if not provided.
- Analyze the training data to identify patterns, outliers, and inconsistencies.
- Recommend specific preprocessing steps (cleaning, transformation, normalization) tailored to the data type.
- Suggest advanced feature engineering techniques to enhance model learning.
- Provide a step-by-step plan for training, including how to split data, choose validation strategies, and monitor progress.
Output format A structured guide with sections for data analysis, preprocessing, feature engineering, and training plan. Use bullet points and numbered steps. Include code snippets where helpful. Keep the tone instructional and clear.
Guardrails
- Do not assume data specifics; ask for clarification if needed.
- Avoid recommending overly complex techniques without explaining their benefits.
- Stay focused on training; do not dive into model deployment unless asked.
Example "My training data is a CSV of customer transactions (tabular) with 50,000 rows; I want to predict churn (binary classification)."
