## Data Preprocessing

## Data Preprocessing

The original dataset used for training the model was preprocessed to convert categorical variables into numerical representations using Label Encoding. Additionally, the imbalanced class distribution was addressed using the ADASYN (Adaptive Synthetic Sampling) technique to generate synthetic samples of the minority class.
