Projects

Final Project-Disease Prediction

  • Tools - Python, Pandas, Numpy, Matplotlib, Seaborn, Natural Language Processing Toolkit, SciKit-Learn
  • Algorithms - Linear Support Vector Classifier, Random Forest Classifier,
  • Objective - Use text data to predict a disease,
  • Result - The RandomForest Classifier demonstrated superior performance with higher accuracy and fewer misclassification. This model was then locally deployed, leading to the development of a user-friendly app to diagnose diseases based on symptoms

Machine Learning - Unsupervised,

  • Tools - Python, Scikit-Learn, Pandas, Numpy, Matplotlib, Seaborn, Jupyter Notebook, Git, GitHub
  • Algorithms - Principal Component Analysis (PCA), KMeans clustering, Hierarchical Clustering,
  • Objective - The main objective is to segment the customers in such a way that the distributor can devise targeted marketing and service strategies for each segment, thus improving business performance and customer satisfaction.
  • Result - I discerned three distinct customer segments based on their purchasing behaviors, each correlating to different types of establishments and regions, thereby enabling the potential for tailored marketing strategies

Machine Learning - Supervised

  • Tools - Python, Scikit-Learn, Pandas, Numpy, Matplotlib, Seaborn
  • Algorithms - Logistic Regression, Random Forest Classifier, XGBoost
  • Objective - The goal of this project is to use supervised learning techniques to build a machine-learning model that can predict whether a patient has diabetes or not, based on certain diagnostic measurements
  • Result - I was able to accurately predict the onset of diabetes with the highest accuracy and precision using the XGBoost model, demonstrating its effectiveness in this health-focused machine learning application
