Pattern is Everything

Pattern is
Everything

Have you noticed the same shapes keep appearing — in data, in price charts? The bell curve in market returns. Gradient descent rolling downhill. A head-and-shoulders pattern at a reversal. This is a map of those recurring structures — 249 interactive, visual references across machine learning and markets.

Learning Paths — Guided Progression
Beginner
ML Fundamentals
Start from zero — distributions, metrics, and your first model evaluation. No prior ML experience needed.
  1. Distribution Shape — know your data
  2. Gradient Descent — how models learn
  3. Confusion Matrix — measuring results
  4. ROC & AUC — comparing models
  5. Cross-Validation — honest evaluation

First Real-Data Model
Move from visual intuition into a practical workflow: dataset, split, model, metric, and failure mode.
  1. Housing Regression — start with tabular data
  2. Regression Metrics — measure error clearly
  3. Cross-Validation — evaluate honestly
  4. SHAP Values — inspect model behavior
  5. ML Lab — experiment by hand
~60 min · case + 4 topics
Intermediate
Time Series Mastery
From stationarity to forecasting — the full pipeline for time-dependent data.
  1. Stationarity — is your data ready?
  2. ARIMA — classical forecasting
  3. Prophet — fast, practical forecasting
  4. Walk-Forward Validation — test honestly
  5. Anomaly Detection — find the unusual
~60 min · 5 topics
Advanced
LLM Engineering
From tokenization to RLHF — understand and build with large language models.
  1. Tokenization — how text becomes numbers
  2. Self-Attention — the core mechanism
  3. RAG — retrieval-augmented generation
  4. RLHF — aligning models
  5. Quantization — making it fast
~90 min · 5 topics
Beginner
Market Intuition
Understand how markets move — risk, psychology, and the patterns traders watch. Evidence levels clearly marked.
  1. Fear & Greed — market emotions
  2. Value at Risk — quantifying danger
  3. Moving Averages — trend detection
  4. Sharpe Ratio — risk-adjusted returns
  5. Support & Resistance — price levels

◆ The Pattern A bell curve in model outputs, a head-and-shoulders on a chart — the same structural principle, different data. Every topic here makes that connection visible.
◆ Real-Data Workflow
Build from Cases
Four practical mini-cases connect topics to datasets, pipelines, metrics, pitfalls, and a browser JupyterLite notebook: fraud detection, housing regression, energy forecasting, and market backtesting.
