How We, Two Beginners, Placed in Kaggle Competition Top 4%
If you've been keeping up with the Kaggle News, you may be familiar with the Mechanisms of Action competition by the Laboratory for Innovation Science at Harvard recently closed. I'm proud to say that my partner, Andy Wang, and I managed to place in the top 4% -- 152nd out of 4,373 teams. What's interesting, though, is that we're relatively new to Kaggle competition. In terms of machine learning, we're not exactly professionals -- we're both students that have picked up Python and machine learning from online courses and tutorials. We didn't get gold, of course.
