# 🔐 Encrypted Text Classifier – 20 Newsgroups Cipher Challenge
This project is built for the [Kaggle Ciphertext Challenge](https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/20-newsgroups-ciphertext-challenge), where the goal is to classify encrypted text documents into 20 different newsgroup categories.
🎯 Even without decrypting the text, we trained a character-level machine learning model that achieves over **63% accuracy**.

## 🧠 Model Overview
- **Input:** Ciphertext strings (unreadable encrypted text)
- **Vectorization:** `CountVectorizer` with char-level n-grams (1 to 3)
- **Model:** Logistic Regression (sklearn)
- **Accuracy:** ~63% (without decryption)
