Meet the winners of the Forecast and Final Prize Stages of the Water Supply Forecast Rodeo

DrivenData Labs

A separate blog post describes the results and winners of the Hindcast Stage , all of whom won prizes in subsequent phases. This blog post presents the winners of all remaining stages: Forecast Stage where models made near-real-time forecasts for the 2024 forecast season. Lower is better.

Meet the finalists of the Pushback to the Future Challenge

DrivenData Labs

Several additional approaches were attempted but deprioritized or entirely eliminated from the final workflow due to lack of positive impact on the validation MAE. Summary of approach: Our solution for Phase 1 is a gradient boosted decision tree approach with a lot of feature engineering.

How Can You Check the Accuracy of Your Machine Learning Model?

Pickl AI

The blog explains the limitations of using accuracy alone. In this blog, youll learn why accuracy isnt always the best metric, its challenges, and when to use alternative metrics. A Decision Tree model analyses these measurements and makes predictions. What if your data is unbalanced or errors have serious consequences?

Meet the winners of the Water Supply Forecast Rodeo Hindcast Stage

DrivenData Labs

There are two model architectures underlying the solution, both based on the Catboost implementation of gradient boosting on decision trees. Final Prize Stage : Refined models are being evaluated once again on historical data but using a more robust cross-validation procedure.

Does bootstrap aggregation help in improving model performance and stability ?

Heartbeat

Before continuing, revisit the lesson on decision trees if you need help understanding what they are. We can compare the performance of the Bagging Classifier and a single Decision Tree Classifier now that we know the baseline accuracy for the test dataset. Bagging is a development of this idea.

Hyperparameters in Machine Learning: Categories  & Methods

Pickl AI

This blog explores their types, tuning techniques, and tools to empower your Machine Learning models. They vary significantly between model types, such as neural networks , decision trees, and support vector machines. SVMs Adjusting kernel coefficients (gamma) alongside the margin parameter optimises decision boundaries.
