 Learn about Microsoft Fabric and its applications of ML through a project analyzing Titanic's passenger data.

This tutorial is an end-to-end demonstration of Microsoft Fabric that guides learners from descriptive and diagnostic analytics to predictive analytics using the popular Kaggle Titanic dataset. The goal of the tutorial is to train a binary classification machine learning model capable of predicting whether an individual would have survived or perished on the Titanic, based on personal details like their age, gender, and ticket class.
