Kaggle competitions
Various ML competitions
I’ve taken part in several ML competitions on Kaggle as well as other ML platforms.
The best achievement have been:
- gold medal as a part of the International Fit Club team in the Home Credit Default Risk competition (see the post on LinkedIn);
- silver medal in the Google Analytics Customer Revenue Prediction competition (see the post on LinkedIn);
There have been also plenty of various other competitions. As a result I’ve developed a python package with a set of tools Keggler, in particular:
- TargetEncoder_KFold for target-encoding categorical features using cross-validation to reduce over-fitting;
- StackingClassifier to build stacked models;
The Keggler project has no best practices applied, as it has been developed, when I had much less experience 😄
