Decision Tree Algorithms for Machine Learning
Decision Trees are a machine learning method that uses a tree-like structure of conditions to make predictions. By splitting data based on features, they create clear decision paths, making them easy to understand and useful for classification and prediction tasks.

Final Project: Building an SMS Spam Classifier using Naive Bayes
In this final assignment, you will apply the concepts learned throughout the course to build a robust SMS spam detection system. You are required to: 1) Load and preprocess the SMS Spam Collection dataset through cleaning text, removing stop words, and tokenization. 2) Implement a Multinomial Naive Bayes classifier. 3) Split the data into training and testing sets. 4) Evaluate the model using Accuracy, Precision, Recall, and an F1-score. 5) Provide a brief report discussing why Naive Bayes is suitable for this specific task despite the naive assumption of feature independence.
