      "content": "<p>I may suggest you to first try the starter competitions like MNIST and Disaster tweets NLP challenge. <br>\nThen you could peruse past completed competitions and study the approaches across the competition, high scoring kernels and winning solutions. This will provide a foundation for you to compete well. You could also curate and develop your own pipeline to perform EDA, train models and infer and predict that could be used for most use cases. This will be handy to start off across your future competitions. You should have one such pipeline for tabular data, one for NLP tasks and one for CV tasks. This will help you a lot with baseline models and will quickly place you on the LB. <br>\nIn the meanwhile, try and develop interest areas and connect with Kaggle users in these areas and form a team, this will help you team up when you participate in these competitions. Shared ideas and hardware is of utmost help in these assignments. </p>\n<p>Good luck and happy learning <a href=\"https://www.kaggle.com/limjeffrey\" target=\"_blank\">@limjeffrey</a> </p>",
