›How to tackle it
- Read the statement. What to hand in, the metric that scores you, the time and hardware limits.
- Explore the data. Size, format, missing values, how the labels are spread.
- Score yourself first. Keep part of the training data aside to measure your work before submitting.
- Start simple, then improve. A first solution that works end to end, then one change at a time.
- Compare with a solution. Once you have searched, open it and see what you would have done differently.
