So, here is a baseline for the competition : Accuracy 0.748
I wanted to play around with the tabular model with block api, as I had not done that before. This dataset of course is not ideal for that, but I got it working and get consistent accuracy of 0.748201. This number comes up no matter how deep/wide the architecture and after fiddling with the hps a bit. It always seems to converge on this (I had one freakvalue of 78.4% but that seemed random and not reproducible.
Have a look:
BTW: I have used the TEST file as validation set, because the number of examples in total is very limited. So training a naked neural net with this is actually not ideal. So I am looking forward to seeing better results with CNN approaches! Let’s go! Beat me!
