콘테스트 개요

Soccer is the world's most popular sport.
**This contest will test whether you're among the best Machine Learning engineers in the world.**
Your challenge is to use ML & Deep Learning to build a model that can best classify the outcome of a soccer match given publicly available data.

The data provided includes details on a team's recent performance, probability of winning, match location, date, recent performance against the opposing team & other recent info. In all, there are close to 100 input variables provided.

Each soccer match's results are provided under the Outcome column in the training data. A match can either be a home_team_win (indicated with 1 in the outcome colume), a draw (indicated with 0) or a away_team_win (indicated with 2).

A leaderboard of top 10 performing models will be posted daily on the contest's chat room.
The competition will run for 14 days.
A small payout has been guaranteed & will be provided to the winner of the contest.
If you win the contest, you may be hired as a consulting once the contest has concluded. Your consultation services will be compensated at a agreed payment rate.

The data:
There are 3 datasets provided.
1. training_data.csv - This contains 31600 matches & their outcomes that you will use to train your model(s).
2. validation_data.csv - This contains 7900 matches & their outcomes that you will use to test/validate your model(s) performance.

3. testing_data.csv - This contains 500 matches (without outcomes) that you will need to predict with your model & submit their results as a list of 0,1 & 2 as part of your submission.

Performance Criteria:
- The F1 Score (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F1_score) will be used to determine your model's performance against other contestants.
- This F1 Score will be based on the predictions you make for the data in point 3 above (testing_data.csv).
For the leaderboard, F1 Scores will be rounded off to 3 decimal places.
- Should there be a tie, all of the top positioned contestants will each get the guaranteed payout.
- You may post as submissions many times as you wish.

Programming Language:
1. You are encouraged to use Python for model construction.
2. You may use any classification technique as you see fit (Deep Learning, Machine Learning)

Submission:
Your submission must contain 2 things.
1. A list of your model's predictions on the training_data.csv file. This must be posted as a comment in your submission. The list must be of the form: [0,1,2,2,0...,1,2]
2. A picture of your validation data F1 Score (calculated on 'validation_data.csv').

You are welcome to post any questions that you have on the contest's chat board.

Are you among the best of the best in Maching Learning?

    I have verified the results in entry #47 .
    Without disclosing the contestant's exact methods, their solution involved the following:
    1. Data cleaning & removing of duplicates.
    2. Handling missing values & feature engineering on columns with dates.
    3. Using an ensemble method as a model.
    4. A custom function was used to classify outcomes, meaning the results of model.predict_proba() were manipulated so that they yielded different outcomes at different extremes.

    1. I have now updated the leaderboard in the comment below.
    2. The contest will close today, you may still submit entries until the contest has closed.
    3. Once the contest has closed, new entries will be evaluated & the leaderboard will be updated.
    4. The contestants with the top 3 entries will be asked in private chat to submit the notebooks used to generate their predictions.
    5. These notebooks will be used to reproduce results & verify that a winning entry has not been faked.
    6. The list of correct outcomes will be shared with you so that you may verify the results calculated for your own entry & that of others.

    7. Once a winning entry has been verified, the prize amount will be awarded.

    Thank you for your participation so far :)
