Best Practices
- Quality Data - Clean training data is essential
- Feature Selection - Choose relevant input fields
- Confidence Thresholds - Only apply high-confidence predictions
- Feedback Loop - Collect user feedback
- Regular Retraining - Update models periodically
- Monitor Accuracy - Track prediction performance
- Fallback - Have manual process when prediction fails
- ES5 Only - No modern JavaScript syntax
