Challenge

In this session, we will delve into another dataset, focusing on applying various regularization techniques that we have learned. We will be working with the Mushrooms dataset, which encompasses a diverse array of mushroom characteristics, including their shapes, colors, sizes, among others. A crucial attribute within this dataset indicates whether a mushroom is poisonous or edible.

Your task will involve using the dataset to predict whether the mushrooms in a given test set are poisonous or edible.

Note

Please be advised not to use the predictions made from this dataset as a guide for identifying real mushrooms in the wild or for consumption purposes, as doing so could be hazardous.

As we proceed, we'll conduct an Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) to gain insights into the dataset, exploring the various features and their relationships, especially the critical aspect of edibility versus toxicity:
