Thank you to Kaggle and H & M for this enjoyable and educational competition!
\nThank you @paweljankiewicz for opening up the topic for me - and I'm sure for many others - and for generously continuing to share and respond to myriad queries throughout the competition.
\nThank you @lihaorocky, for generously shared many details of his methodology throughout the competition.
\nThank you @cdeotte for your notebooks that were a huge help for me in this competition.
\nThank you @titericz (Giba) for your tips on managing memory and cudf usage.
I set out in this competition with a few goals:
\nThank God, I was able to be successful in all three!
\nIt was really a completely different experience working through everything myself, instead of copying public notebooks and trying to find some incremental improvements.
\nMuch more fulfilling, much more of a learning experience - and much more effective!
Taking the time to set up a proper system took time, but was worth it and made things so much easier.
\nThey were all worth the investment in the end, and made the experience more enjoyable and effective.

\nKudos for achieving a great rank only using kaggle provided resources.
Impressive! I did a very similar thing as you did. It is much more fulfilling to actually do the competition by yourself instead of patching different solutions and hoping for the best. Three hours before the deadline of the competition my rank was 1100 and due to the cleanliness of the system I had built in the last 3 hours my score jumped to bronze, which is my first bronze ever!
\nWould you be willing to share a single notebook where you used your github code? I would very much like to copy this system :)
