Prediction of Suicide Causes in India using Machine Learning

Worldwide, suicide rate is considered one of the most significant issue. With each passing year, the number of suicide is getting increased phenomenally and because of this reason, this research is carried out to predict the causes of suicide in India by using the machine learning algorithms and data mining techniques in order to identify the root causes behind the suicide so that the authorities can take advantage in order to prevent the suicide cases by creating awareness and by rectifying the predicted causes of suicides. According to a research, about 800,000 people commit suicide worldwide every year. Out of these, 135,000 (17%) are residents of India, a nation with 17.5% of world population. In this research, we have analyzed the pattern of suicide cases and predict the causes of future suicides by using machine learning algorithms, the Artificial Neural Network and Support Vector Machine.
