Hey everyone, I am Rohan a beginner in this field and have a urgent need to learn Model Training and I need Help

Introductions

I don’t know where should I put this but if I am wrong please guide me(happy to be schooled here). I am currently building an app for my last year undergrad CS program. This app need a ML model(I guess), let me explain what our app’s ML model should be able to do.

  1. take in packaged food product ingredient list as input.
  2. process the input and find out how much or what amount of what ingredients are present in the product.
  3. based on that processed data be able to rate the product(like a NutriScore system in the EU) and also flag out if any harmful substance is found.

Now the current situation is we have made the required frontend and integrated a OCR to extract text(ingredient list) from the product. And we are currently working on the backend and database part(should be finished by 1 week or 2). Now I am tasked to figure out the model situation(I was the one who purposed this project idea but I don’t know a thing about it), before the database and backend gets finished I should have a model trained for the app. Now from scratch what things I need to learn and can avoid for now as per my requirements. PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!!

You have set yourself a mighty challenge.
How much time do you have to accomplish this?

4

2 weeks at max.

Starting from zero, I do not think you can both learn the skills required and perform the project in two weeks.
