The CLEAR Framework

In this part of the course, we learn how to speak about machine learning concepts in a way that’s clear, confident, and impactful. The instructor introduces a practical, repeatable framework—CLEAR—that helps us explain any concept with structure and depth.

• C is for Conceptualize: Start with a high-level, simple definition of the concept (e.g., logistic regression predicts binary outcomes).
• L is for Link: Connect the concept to related ideas or typical use cases, showing broader understanding.
• E is for Example: Provide a real-world application to ground the concept in practice.
• A is for Advantages and Disadvantages: Discuss trade-offs to demonstrate critical thinking.
• R is for Result: Explain how success is measured using appropriate evaluation metrics.

By using the CLEAR framework, we present ourselves as organized, knowledgeable, and experienced—even when discussing foundational topics.
