This project is an introduction to multi-class classification in machine learning. In this project, we will be working on a dataset that contains multiple classes and will use various algorithms to classify the data.

Project Overview

  • Dataset: The dataset will be provided with features and labels.
  • Objective: To train a model that can accurately classify the data into the correct classes.
  • Algorithms: We will experiment with different algorithms such as Logistic Regression, Decision Trees, and Support Vector Machines.

Data Exploration

Before we start building the model, it is important to explore the data. This includes understanding the distribution of the data, checking for missing values, and analyzing the relationships between features.

  • Exploration Techniques: Data visualization, descriptive statistics, and correlation analysis.
  • Tools: Pandas, Matplotlib, and Seaborn.

Model Building

Once we have explored the data, we can start building our models. We will use scikit-learn to implement the algorithms and evaluate their performance.

  • Evaluation Metrics: Accuracy, Precision, Recall, and F1 Score.
  • Hyperparameter Tuning: Grid Search and Random Search.

Project Implementation

Here is a brief outline of the steps we will follow to implement the project:

  1. Load and explore the dataset.
  2. Preprocess the data (if necessary).
  3. Split the data into training and testing sets.
  4. Train different models on the training data.
  5. Evaluate the models on the testing data.
  6. Choose the best model based on the evaluation metrics.
