Show abstract
Obesity has always been a problem which has plagued humans for many generations, which, since the 1975, almost doubled to turn into a global epidemic. The current human dependence on technology has contributed to the problem even more, with the effects visibly pronounced in late teenagers and early adults. Researchers till date, have tried numerous ways to determine the factors that cause obesity in early adults. On that frontier, our hybrid machine-learning model uses the help of some supervised and unsupervised data mining methods like Extremely Randomized Trees, Multilayer Perceptron and XGBoost using Python to detect and predict obesity levels and help healthcare professionals to combat this phenomenon. Our dataset is a publicly available dataset in the UCI Machine Learning Repository, containing the data for the estimation of obesity levels in individuals from the countries of Mexico, Peru, and Colombia, based on their eating habits and physical condition. The proposed model heavily utilizes feature engineering methods and introduces the concept of a hybrid model. This work has shown improved results over prior works and extensive studies have been undertaken to preserve the robustness of this model.

"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.
