Kaggle-for-fun

https://www.kaggle.com/lenguyenthedat/competitions

All my submissions for Kaggle contests that I have been, and going to be participating.

I will probably have everything written in Python (utilizing scikit-learn or similar libraries), but occasionally I might also use R or Haskell if I can.

The code written in this repository can be very scrappy since I consider this my playground. Feel free to contribute if you are interested in doing so.

avazu-ctr-prediction

Avazu's CTR prediction contest - https://www.kaggle.com/c/avazu-ctr-prediction
