This document summarizes a student project on predicting heart failure patient survival using machine learning algorithms. The team will predict survival based on creatinine and ejection fraction levels, using classification algorithms. They cite several references on using machine learning to predict mortality and hospitalization in heart failure patients. The document discusses challenges in developing machine learning models and addressing missing data. It explains that predicting risk and determining accuracy are benefits of using machine learning for this problem. The team aims to determine survival probability and selected this topic due to the global impact of heart failure. Future work may apply the techniques to other disease datasets.
