Breaking all zeros benchmark
Help · 1 Jan 2025, 02:50 · 2

Hey guys, it's my first time doing a Zindi competition and I'm having trouble even breaking the all-zeros prediction benchmark score (~8.62 mae). Can somebody please give some tips and advice? Thank you

use optuna for hyper paramter tuning. use cross validation. Remove unnecessary features. Use one-hot encoding for categorical variables.
