Meet the finalists of the Pushback to the Future Challenge

DrivenData Labs

Summary of approach: Our solution for Phase 1 is a gradient boosted decision tree approach with a lot of feature engineering. We used the LightGBM library for boosted decision trees because it has absolute error as a built-in objective function and it is much faster for model training than similar tree ensemble based algorithms.

The remaining features are horizontally appended to the pathology features, and a gradient boosted decision tree classifier (LightGBM) is applied to achieve predictive analysis. On the genomics side, importance filtering is applied based on excluding features that don’t correlate with the prediction target.
