## Build models

| Topic | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Build models | Elements of the basic modeling workflow. |
| Advanced options | Setting advanced modeling parameters prior to building. |
| Manage projects | Manage models and projects, and export data. |

## Model insights (Leaderboard tabs)

| Topic | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Evaluate tabs | View key plots and statistics needed to judge and interpret a model’s effectiveness. |
| Understand tabs | Understand what drives a model’s predictions. |
| Describe tabs | View model building information and feature details. |
| Predict tabs | Make predictions in DataRobot using the UI or API. |
| Compliance tabs | Compile model development documentation that can be used for regulatory validation. |
| Comments tab | Add comments to assets in the AI Catalog. |
| Bias and Fairness tabs | Identify if a model is biased and why the model is learning bias from the training data. |
| Other model tabs | Compare models across a project. |

## Specialized workflows

| Topic | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Date/time partitioning | Build models with time-relevant data (not time series). |
| Unsupervised learning | Work with unlabeled or partially labeled data to build anomaly detection or clustering models. |
| Composable ML | Build blueprints using built-in DataRobot tasks and custom Python or R code. |
