How to run the code

All the dataset files could be downloaded from Kaggle dataset. Once the dataset is downloaded, the code has to be reconfigured and mapped to the files stored in the directory.

Time taken to run the project:

As the dataset is of size 2 GB, the whole execution of project may take greater than 20 hours to execute completely. The exact time taken to train and test ML models are shown in te code respectively.
