my kaggle experiences summary

First year with kaggle

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:

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:

I will translate them into English and post them here in the future, hope I won’t be too lazy;)
