Primary Goals

For best results, complete each sprint in order, before going on to the next sprint.

1. Sprint 1: Database Operations
   • Develop a database interface class
   • Create random data
   • Populate the database with at least 1000 datapoints
2. Sprint 2: Dynamic Visualizations
   • Notebook exploration
   • Chart function
   • API integration
3. Sprint 3: Machine Learning Model
   • Notebook exploration
   • Machine Learning interface class
   • Model serialization (save and open)
   • API model integration

Stretch Goals

• Use ElephantSQL instead of MongoDB
• Use Plotly instead of Altair
• Use PyTorch instead of Scikit
• Use FastAPI instead of Flask
• Add the ability for the user to reset & reseed the database
• Add the ability for the user to re-train the machine learning model
• Add the ability for the user to download a working serialized model and dataset
• Add authentication to sensitive pages
• Use a different set of features to train the model
• Use your own dataset entirely
