Titanic Survival Prediction

ML Classification Model for Predicting Passenger Survival Rates

Project Overview

Developed during my Data Science internship at CodSoft (Aug-Sep 2023), this machine learning project predicts passenger survival rates on the Titanic using classification algorithms. The project demonstrates end-to-end ML workflow from data preprocessing to model deployment.
