Innovative Hybrid Feature Selection and Ensemble Learning for Enhanced Wine Quality Prediction.

Problem Definition

Based on the literature review conducted, it is evident that existing ML-based wine quality prediction systems have shown promising results but fall short in certain areas. One major limitation is the incapability of current ML algorithms to effectively handle large and complex datasets, leading to overfitting and reduced accuracy. Additionally, the lack of utilization of feature selection techniques in previous studies has contributed to dataset dimensionality issues, further hindering the accuracy of wine quality predictions. Moreover, the limited exploration of advanced approaches like ensemble learning presents a gap in the research conducted thus far. With these limitations in mind, there is a clear need for the development of an improved system that can address these challenges and enhance the accuracy of wine quality predictions in a more efficient manner.

This will be achieved by utilizing ensemble learning techniques and hybrid feature selection methods such as chi-Square and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to address issues related to dataset dimensionality and accuracy. By combining Random Forest (RF), XGBoost, and Gradient Boost classifiers through ensemble learning, the aim is to reduce errors and enhance the overall performance of the model. The goal is to create a more robust and accurate wine quality prediction system that outperforms existing methods in terms of accuracy and reliability.

Proposed Work

In this project, we aim to address the limitations of existing wine quality prediction models by proposing a new and effective predictive model based on ensemble learning techniques.
