What makes these work

  1. Production beats notebooks

    A model that is live and measured stands apart from course projects. 'Deployed' is one of the strongest words you can use.

  2. Methods by name

    XGBoost, spaCy and Prophet are typed into search. Name the ones behind your results.

  3. Metric against a baseline

    '30% more at the same false-alarm rate' compares against something. That is how a data lead reads results.
