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.
