teach_lora1

teach_lora1 — ML Tutor LoRA

A LoRA adapter fine-tuned on top of Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct to teach machine learning concepts clearly and accessibly — the way great teachers do.

The model explains ML topics using:

• Intuitive analogies first, before the math
• Gradual concept build-up, one step at a time
• An encouraging, patient tone that makes learners feel capable
• A practice question at the end of every answer to reinforce understanding

Dataset Quality (DeepSeek judge, 5-point scale)

0 entries flagged below threshold.
