Problem 1

Context

You are in discussions with ABC Consulting company for providing transport for their employees. For this
purpose, you are tasked with understanding how do the employees of ABC Consulting prefer to
commute presently (between home and office). Based on the parameters like age, salary, work
experience etc. given in the data set ‘Transport.csv’, you are required to predict the preferred mode of
transport. The project requires you to build several Machine Learning models and compare them so that
the model can be finalized.

Objective

The objective is to build various Machine Learning models on this data set and based on the accuracy
metrics decide which model is to be finalized for finally predicting the mode of transport chosen by the
employee.

Data Dictionary

Age: Age of the Employee in Years

Gender: Gender of the Employee

Engineer: For Engineer =1 , Non Engineer =0

MBA: For MBA =1 , Non-MBA =0

Work Exp: Experience in years

Salary: Salary in Lakhs per Annum

Distance: Distance in km from Home to Office

license: If Employee has Driving Licence -1, If not, then 0

Transport: Mode of Transport

Problem 2

Context

A dataset of Shark Tank episodes is made available. It contains 495 entrepreneurs making their pitch to
the VC sharks. You will ONLY use “Description” column for the initial text mining exercise.
