Learning from mistakes is the key to success in any field.

That’s why we should analyze the mistakes once identified.

Mistakes are often made by beginners in machine learning and deep learning. In some cases, mistakes can happen secretly so that we’re not even aware of them. That’s the dangerous part!

Most of my articles published so far were designed to address the most common mistakes in machine learning and deep learning.

Today’s article explains the top 20 mistakes (in my opinion) that most people make or happen secretly when building machine learning and deep learning models.

At the end of this article, you’ll be able to get comprehensive knowledge and solutions for most of the questions you have in machine learning and deep learning.

Let’s get started!

1. Multicollinearity

When the input features (variables) are highly correlated with the other features in the dataset, it is known as multicollinearity which negatively affects the performance of ML models.
