Your Main Project: An AI That Predicts Match Results
Build a machine learning model that predicts match outcomes for Europe’s top five leagues (Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1) using real data from Kaggle, ESPN, and API-Football. Then deploy it as a real-time Flask web app — just like a real SaaS product.
Includes 6 Bonus AI Projects
Bonus 1 – Emotion detection via webcam (Computer Vision)
Bonus 2 – Drone and flying object detection (Computer Vision)
Bonus 3 – Road object detection (Computer Vision)
Bonus 4 – English to French translation (Natural Language Processing)
Bonus 5 – Multilingual summarization (Natural Language Processing)
Bonus 6 – Pneumonia detection from chest X-rays (Medical AI)
Optional Theory Modules
ML/DL foundations, CNNs, YOLO, CPU vs GPU/TPU — explained clearly, without jargon.
