Problem Framing: from context to evidence
Problem Framing connects question and source data to a checked finding in Deep Learning & Neural Networks.
1Question and source data
Define the purpose, intended user and PyTorch constraints.

2Problem Framing
Write the decision first and identify the minimum supporting data.

3Checked finding
Compare the observed result with a normal case, boundary case and stated limitation.
Takeaway: Problem Framing is credible only when the result can be traced back to its purpose, inputs and constraints. Problem Framing is the decision layer between the starting context and evidence that the result is fit for purpose.

Course practical outcome
Produce a reviewable Deep Learning & Neural Networks project using PyTorch, TensorFlow, CNN.
Expected output: A working Deep Learning & Neural Networks artefact plus an evidence-based self-review.
Tools: A suitable PyTorch environment, A plain-text decision log, Test data or realistic sample material
Production steps
Define the intended user, outcome and constraints.
Create the smallest complete result using PyTorch.
Test one normal case, one boundary case and one failure response.
Revise the work from the evidence and preserve before-and-after results.
Prepare a concise handover containing method, limitations and next step.
Success criteria
The output matches the stated outcome.
Inputs and decisions are reproducible.
Boundary and failure evidence is included.
Limitations and responsibility considerations are explicit.
Self-review
Can another learner repeat the method?
Did I test a difficult case?
Did I avoid unsupported claims?
Is the next action proportionate to the remaining risk?
Next step: Choose one weakness found during review and improve it before extending the PyTorch scope.
