 + 
 +In addition to standard line and scatter plots, the module can be extended to support more advanced visualization types such as confusion matrices, **ROC curves**, and **heatmaps**, providing deeper insights into model behavior and evaluation. Its flexible architecture allows seamless integration with existing pipelines, logging systems, and experiment managers, enabling automated plot generation as part of training loops or result dashboards. By helping teams and researchers quickly interpret model performance, the Visualization Module enhances transparency, speeds up experimentation, and facilitates data-driven optimizations throughout the **AI lifecycle**.
