🔥 Project:

"Loan Default Risk Prediction System with Model Comparison and Web App Deployment"

---

🧠 Project Idea Overview:

Build a complete pipeline to predict the probability of a customer defaulting on a loan. Use structured tabular data and compare different supervised learning models (classification). The goal is to create a reliable system, optimize it, interpret its decisions (XAI), and deploy it as a Flask/Streamlit web app.

✅ Key Features to Showcase:

Component	Description
EDA & Preprocessing	Handle missing data, outliers, feature engineering, encoding, scaling
Modeling	Train & compare multiple classification algorithms (e.g., Logistic Regression, Random Forest, XGBoost, SVM, etc.)
Evaluation	Use ROC AUC, Precision-Recall, Confusion Matrix, F1, etc.
Hyperparameter Tuning	Use GridSearchCV or Optuna
Explainability	Integrate SHAP or LIME
Deployment	Deploy using Streamlit or Flask + Docker on Render/Vercel
CI/CD (Optional)	GitHub Actions for testing or retraining
