Title: Comparing supervised algorithms' performances for fraud detection on imbalanced data.

Description: Often in the real world, we come across a problem of facing datasets which have class labels that are not balanced but actually highly skewed. If we take a real world scenario of predicting fraudulent activity or an onset of a disease then mostly the class labels will be skewed with negative class being much much more than positive class. In this project, the aim was to try several techniques to build very accurate predictive models and compare their performance using runtime and different evaluation metrics when the data is highly imbalanced, just like several real world scenarios, to primarily forecast financial fraud cases.

Title: Implementation and comparison of regression models from scratch.

Description: To predict the women's Olympic 100-meter race record time for this winter Olympic (2022). Three different regression model (linear, quadratic and cubic) were implemented from scratch to see which model was better at prediction.

Title: Implementation of Logistic Regression and Support Vector Machine Algorithms to predict whether capacitors from a fabrication plant pass quality control based on two different tests.

Description: ML models were implemented from scratch. Model performances were evaluated via several evaluation metrics like accuracy, precision, recall and F1.
