Over three months, Harkar developed a suite of educational data science notebooks and asset management improvements in the CUAI-CAU/2025_Basic_Track_Assignment repository. He created Jupyter notebooks demonstrating core machine learning workflows, including data preprocessing, regularized linear models, dimensionality reduction, and ensemble learning, using Python, scikit-learn, and pandas. His work emphasized reproducibility and clarity, with cross-validated hyperparameter tuning, visualizations, and comparative analyses to guide model selection. Harkar also reorganized project assets to streamline onboarding and prevent broken links. The depth of his contributions provided a robust foundation for experimentation and knowledge sharing, supporting both instructional and practical data science needs.

May 2025: Delivered two feature enhancements in CUAI-CAU/2025_Basic_Track_Assignment, focusing on dimensionality reduction visualization/comparison and ensemble model benchmarking with hyperparameter tuning. This work strengthens data exploration, model selection, and reproducibility, enabling faster data-driven decisions.

April 2025 focused on enabling robust, reproducible experimentation with regularized linear models. Delivered a practical notebook introducing and evaluating Ridge, Lasso, and ElasticNet on linear models, including data loading, model training, cross-validated hyperparameter tuning, and visualization of coefficient behavior across alpha values. Also explored data scaling and polynomial feature transformations to assess their impact on model performance. This work is anchored in CUAI-CAU/2025_Basic_Track_Assignment, providing a clear path for scientists to compare regularization schemes and feature engineering strategies.
