Theft Detection Algorithm Assignment

Company: Kudosware

Role: Data Scientist

This assignment is designed to assess your skills in building a theft detection algorithm using
video data, specifically focusing on shoplifting scenarios.

Dataset: DCSASS Dataset https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/mateohervas/dcsass-dataset

The DCSASS dataset contains a variety of video clips categorized into different activities,
including shoplifting. We will be focusing on videos labeled as "shoplifting" and "normal" to train
our theft detection model.

- Just use videos under shoplifting category

Task:

1. Data Preprocessing: Download the DCSASS dataset and filter for videos labeled as
"shoplifting" and "normal." Preprocess the videos by converting them into a suitable
format for your chosen machine learning model.
2. Feature Engineering: Extract relevant features from the preprocessed videos that can
be used to identify shoplifting activities.
3. Model Building: Develop a machine learning model to classify video frames/clips as
containing shoplifting or not containing shoplifting.
4. Evaluation: Evaluate the performance of your model using relevant metrics like:
○ Accuracy: Overall percentage of correct classifications.
○ Precision: Ratio of true positives (correctly identified shoplifting) to total positive
predictions.
○ Recall: Ratio of true positives to actual shoplifting instances in the dataset.
○ F1 Score: Harmonic mean of precision and recall, balancing both metrics.
5. Report: Prepare a report summarizing your approach, including:
○ Data preprocessing steps and rationale for chosen techniques.
○ Feature engineering methods and their effectiveness in identifying shoplifting.
○ Model selection with justification and hyperparameter tuning (if applicable).
○ Evaluation results, including confusion matrix and chosen metrics.
○ Discussion of strengths, weaknesses, and potential improvements to your
approach.

Deliverables:

● Jupyter Notebook or Python script containing your code


● Report summarizing your methodology, results, and discussion
Evaluation Criteria:

● Clarity and efficiency of code


● Appropriateness of feature engineering techniques
● Model selection and justification
● Performance of the model on the shoplifting detection task
● Communication and insights presented in the report

Time Limit:

Submit it by 26 April. Upload the required documents to google drive and make it public and
send it over on internshala.

Additional Notes:

● Feel free to explore libraries like OpenCV or TensorFlow for video processing and model
building.
● You can make any reasonable assumptions about shoplifting scenarios based on the
video descriptions or additional research.
● Be creative and showcase your problem-solving skills in building an effective shoplifting
detection algorithm using the DCSASS dataset.
