Predicting Shoe Prices Using Machine Learning Algorithms

Akshar S.

This paper investigates the use of machine learning algorithms, particularly Support Vector Regression, to accurately predict shoe prices based on factors like material, color, brand, type, gender, and size, using a dataset of 5000 entries.


This paper explores the application of machine learning algorithms in predicting shoe prices and the correlations between a shoes’ material, color, brand, type, gender, and size and its price. Using a dataset of 5000 shoe entries from Kaggle, the data was preprocessed and turned into numeric values for modeling. The models used include Linear Regression, Decision Tree, Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, and Support Vector Regression. The results show that the Support Vector Regression model had the lowest Mean Squared Error, which means that it can accurately predict shoe prices and find the correlation between a shoes’ make and price.

Self-supervised DINOv2 versus Supervised CNNs for Insurance Claim Cost Predictions

This study investigates whether vehicle insurance claim amounts can be predicted directly from images of damaged cars by comparing CNN models, the self-supervised DINOv2 model, and GPT-5.5 as a vision language model. Results showed that DINOv2 performed best, achieving an R² of 0.12 compared with 0.07 for ResNet152V2 and 0.08 for ResNeXt50, while GPT-5.5 tended to overestimate repair costs, particularly for severe damage.

Approaches to fraud detection on credit card transactions using artificial intelligence methods

In this paper, we study the problem of detecting fraudulent credit card transactions. We select the most relevant features using a heuristic approach, and fit three different model classes to a simulated dataset: Logistic Regression, Random Forests and Gradient Boosting Machines. We find that hyperparameter tuning has a big impact on the precision and recall of our classifiers. We also find that of the three classes, Gradient Boosting Machines were the best-performing model class, achieving 83% precision and 64% recall on unseen data.
