VIT HACK-A-THON: Applications of AI/ML in Environmental Sustainability

This starter kit presents a very simple solution based on AI/ML that helps tackle the problem of water pollution caused due to poor quality detergents. This kit uses the 'IoT Sensor' dataset which has information on Detergent Quality - 'Good' or 'Bad', based on certain detergent manufacturing parameters. The solution uses the Supervised Machine Learning technique to predict whether the detergent is of good or bad quality thereby resulting in water pollution. This solution can be deployed for enhancing the footprint of detergents on Aquatic Ecosystems.

Here is how you get started!

1. Identify your specific problem and your proposed use case/solution.
2. Install this starter kit and customize it to suit your solution.
3. Answer the questions on the submission form with a short video/screen recording/presentation explaining your solution.

For your HACK-A-THON, you may utilize this kit in the following ways:

1. ‘BO5341_IoTData.csv’ is the dataset used to train the model. Replace it with the dataset of your choice.
2. There is a ‘sample_predict.csv’ dataset wherein you can test this model with a similar dataset as ‘BO5341_IoTData.csv’.
3. Checkout the output file ‘sample_predict_output.csv’ to see the results of the sample dataset you entered in ‘sample_predict.csv’
4. ‘Logistic RegressionCV’ is used to train the model and fetch a training accuracy of 98%, and testing accuracy of 73%. You may improve the accuracy of the model using other algorithms as a submission
5. You may use Matplotlib & Seaborn to plot other features to showcase your results apart from the confusion matrix used to analyze the result.

Troubleshooting

1. If you encounter any error related to MS Visual C++, please install MS Visual Build tools
2. While running batch file, if you encounter Windows protection alert, select More info --> Run anyway.
3. During kit installer, if you encounter Windows security alert, click Allow.
4. If you encounter Memory Error, check if the available memory is sufficient and it is proportion to the size of the data being used. For our dataset, the minimum required memory is 8GB.

If your computer doesn't support standard commands from windows 10, you can follow the instructions below to finish the kit installation.
