Plastic pollution is one of the challenging problems in the environment. But a life without plastic we cannot imagine. This paper deals with the prediction of plastic degrading microbes using Machine Learning. Here we have used Decision Tree, Random Forest, Support vector Machine and K Nearest Neighbor algorithms in order to predict the plastic degrading microbes. Among the four classifiers, Random Forest model gave the best accuracy of 99.1%.

Matching journals

The top 5 journals account for 50% of the predicted probability mass.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
