Acquired Kaggle Competition Expert (within top 10% on leaderboard twice), a small milestone.
Last July I made my first submission on Titanic Survival Prediction Competition and started my journey through kaggle, time flies!
I learned a lot from kaggle, also made some good friends there. Currently I have a repo to share some kaggle resources, you can check this. I’d like to put my code and summary over there, as well as some open-source top solutions. I plan to wrap up some function and part of codes that are commonly used for feature engineering/cross validation/model stacking in next a few weeks, so next I just need to from kaggle_utils import * and don’t need to re-write/copy/paste.
To be honest I started my first real competition in this February, and till now I participated 4 competitions, they are:
- Mercari Price Suggestion Challenge
- Toxic Comment Classification Challenge
- TalkingData AdTracking Fraud Detection Challenge
- Avito Demand Prediction Challenge
where the 1st and 4th are regression problems, 2nd and 3rd are classification problems. Although I didn’t work well in all of them, I got two medals and I’m “Kaggle Competition Expert” now ;) Here is my profile: bangda. Next goal is win a gold medal and toward Competition Master!
If you know Chinese, I will write post-competition report when I complete one competition on Zhihu, you can check them:
- Kaggle竞赛-TalkingData AdTracking Fraud Detection Challenge小结
- Kaggle竞赛-Avito Demand Prediction Challenge小结
I will translate them into English and post them here in the future if possible.
