Learning ML Newbiee!!

Hi guys,
I'm new to ML , I'm unable to score more than 87% , I tried to add new features , filled the nulls properly, and added missing columns. Played with paramters and many more . One such is as we have high values are very less I tried smote but unable to improve my score. Can anyone help me how to move further , Suggest me some books of ML how to think differently and move further.
Thanks in Advance.
Try the starter notebook and use some claude😁
I did, but finding patterns, moving forward needs some experiencen and I lack them, and these one of my first competitions so needed some guidance what books I can refer.
So ask claude, on finding patterns, on feature engineering tricks, ask it to help you understand the data. What is FHI? What constitutes it? How can you find FHI with the features you have. Is there a way to manipulate the data to get the actual classes.
Understanding FHI is a win in this competition! Good luck
Thanks @codeJoe, will do that
You are welcome and keep on iterating💪. You can do this!
Congratulations for starting your journey.. try optuna hyperparamters , check your validations , of course get reference with books like ML system design https://huyenchip.com/machine-learning-systems-design/toc.html for future and self improve
Thanks for the book big man, let me give it a read!
There is a pdf , search it online , I was afraid of copyright 😆
