Kickstarter Campaign Success Prediction

ML Classification project

Goal

The goal of this project is to predict the success of a Kickstarter campaign. The datasets used in this project came from Web Robots website from January through April 2021. I used various classification algorithms such as KNN, Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, Random Forest, Naive Bayes, and XGBoost. My final classification model was XGBoost that has a F1 score of 0.80 and AUC score of 0.82. The Model was interpreted using SHAP values metrics to understand which features have higher importance for success. Lastly, a Flask app was built using the final model after retraining it with the entire dataset.
