Abstract : The Titanic dataset, which documents the survival status of passengers aboard the ill-fated ship, has emerged as a valuable resource for developing and evaluating machine learning algorithms. This paper investigates the utility of the Titanic dataset for training various machine learning models, focusing on both binary classification accuracy and the insights gained from feature engineering. By leveraging features such as passenger class, gender, and age, we demonstrate how the Titanic dataset serves as an ideal foundation for model development. Results indicate that this dataset offers robust training opportunities across multiple algorithms. Future research could involve deeper exploration of ensemble methods and more complex feature extraction techniques to further enhance predictive performance.

Keywords : Titanic Dataset, Machine Learning, Classification Models, Logistic Regression, Random Forest, SVM, Neural Networks, Data Preprocessing.
