# Model Training

Skill · Data Science, Analytics and AI/ML

Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/model-training

The process of teaching a machine learning model to make predictions by exposing it to data and iteratively adjusting its internal parameters, typically via optimization algorithms like gradient descent. Data scientists and ML engineers prepare labeled or unlabeled datasets, select architectures, and run training jobs on GPUs or TPUs, monitoring loss curves to gauge convergence. It is the core step that transforms a generic model architecture into one capable of a specific task.
