Click here to participate Problem Description The food inspection department conducts regular inspections of food quality for various restaurants in the city. It’s a very well documented procedure, and over time some good amount of data has been generated out of these inspections. The inspection department would like to predict where they should focus most in terms of their next inspection schedule so that they can most optimize their time at hand to catch the worst offenders. Can the past inspection or any data that they have collected predict which facility will pass or fail. In this hackathon, MachineHack will provide you with a subset of this dataset with information on food quality checks conducted on thousands of facilities that serve food across multiple cities. Your objective as a data scientist is to predict whether a facility will pass or fail the inspection based on several factors. Click here to participate Objective Build a predictive model that is capable of predicting the outcome of an inspection conducted in a facility based on the given set of features. Features : ID: A unique ID for each inspection Date: The date at which the inspection was done in a particular facility License No: De-identified license number for a particular facility Facility ID: De-identified unique facility id  for a facility Facility Name: The encoded name of a facility Type: The type of the facility being inspected Street: The encoded street where the facility is located City: The encoded city where the facility is located State: The encoded state where the facility is located Location ID: An encoded location feature. Reason: The primary reason for the inspection Section Violations: Laws violated by the facility Risk Level: The level of risk the facility possesses to the consumers.
