🎉 Welcome to Week 33 of the Weekly MachineHack Hackathon Series! 🎉

This week’s MachineHack challenge invites participants to tackle a problem in the domain of machine learning:
📊 Measured Download Speed (Mbps) Prediction Challenge based on mobile network performance data.

📣 Challenge Details:

Your goal is to Build a machine learning model to predict measured_download_Speed (Mbps) based on features like signal strength, latency, jitter, device type, battery level, and more.

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 R² Score , measuring how well the model Predict the measured_download_Speed (Mbps).
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 mobile network performance 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.
