Data Science Competition Partner-Expert Data Science Assistance

Example

For a time-series forecasting competition, the partner would analyze competition details to recommend focusing on LSTM or Prophet models for their effectiveness in handling temporal data.

Scenario

In a Kaggle competition requiring sales predictions based on historical data, the partner assists by recommending specific time-series analysis techniques and models, considering factors like seasonality and trend components.

Example

Generating heatmaps to identify correlations between features in a dataset or creating distribution plots to understand the data's skewness.

Scenario

Before model building in a competition focused on predicting real estate prices, the partner would conduct EDA to uncover underlying patterns and relationships in the dataset, guiding the feature engineering process.

Example

Introducing polynomial features for regression problems or applying feature selection techniques to reduce dimensionality.

Scenario

In a competition with high-dimensional data, the partner advises on reducing features through selection methods like PCA or L1 regularization to improve model efficiency and prevent overfitting.

Example

Comparing cross-validation scores of different algorithms to select the best performer and using grid search to find the optimal hyperparameters.

Scenario

For a classification problem in a biomedical data competition, the partner would help in choosing between algorithms like Random Forest, SVM, or Neural Networks based on the dataset's characteristics, and fine-tune the chosen model for maximum accuracy.
