Challenge Overview

Welcome to Week 32 of the Weekly MachineHack Hackathon Series!

This week’s MachineHack challenge invites participants to tackle a problem in the domain of machine learning: Fuel Efficiency Prediction Challenge based on various vehicle attributes such as engine capacity, fuel type, brand, and transmission .

📣 Challenge Details:

Your goal is to Build a machine learning model to predict fuel_efficiency_kmpl using used cars data.

Participation and Benefits

  • Intermediate Level: This hackathon is ideal for participants with a basic understanding of machine learning and deep learning techniques.
  • Community Engagement: Join our dynamic community on Telegram to share ideas, ask questions, and collaborate with fellow participants.
  • Certificates: Every participant will receive a certificate from MachineHack, and winners will earn a spot on the leaderboard.

Submission and Evaluation

  • Submission Format: Participants must submit their predictions in the format specified in submission.csv.
  • Evaluation Metric: Submissions will be evaluated based on the RMSE , measuring how well the model Predict the fuel_efficiency_kmpl.
  • Leaderboard: Track your progress and aim for the top spot on the leaderboard.

Data Description

The dataset for this hackathon includes:

  • train.csv: Contains used cars data.
  • test.csv: Contains data for testing.
  • submission.csv: The format in which your predictions should be submitted.

How to Crack This Challenge

To tackle this challenge successfully, follow these steps:

Data Pre-processing

  • Handle Missing Values: Identify and impute or remove missing values.
  • Remove the unwanted columns.

Model Development

  • Use machine learning models like RandomForest, XGBoost, LightGBM and CatBoost for predicting .

Training and Optimization

  • Apply ridSearchCV, RandomizedSearchCV for hyperparameter tuning.
  • Use Cross-Validation to ensure model robustness.
  • Train model using worker productivity  data

Validation and Testing

  • Ensure the model generalizes well to unseen data.
  • Generate predictions for the test dataset in the required format for submission.

For our subscribers, a starter notebook will be available to guide you through data pre-processing and basic model building. You can customize and enhance this framework to develop your solution further.
