  "content": "<p>Congratulations to the winners , and new grandmasters and masters , thanks a lot to Jigsaw for organizing this competition . Tweet Sentiment Extraction and Jigsaw Multilingual are the two competitions I started my NLP and Kaggle journey with and Today I have bagged silver medals in both of them . The last day was very tense for us and we did a lot of brainstorming for the final submissions , it was very tricky especially after the shakeups seen in Tweet competition .</p>\n\n<p>I could not express how happy I am right now with this . I started out kaggle with just the motivation of making good kernels but I got addicted to the process and come so far . Kaggle has boosted my confidence immensely , I was even scared of joining a kaggle competition two months ago , now I can write pytorch code from scratch , and confident enough to fight with any data science problem in general.</p>\n\n<p>When I was starting out ,there was this notion floating around that to be in top 5 percent you need to have a master degree or phd , have a lot of gpu power,etc . Well to all of those starting out I want to say I am an undergraduate student from India whose laptop got stolen in Feb 2020 , if you are willing to learn and work hard , there is no stopping you.</p>\n\n<p>My thinking has completely changed now , I started out to make my profile shine , get upvotes on my kernel , get kernel medals ,etc but now I just feel like learning and contributing to the community , medals , upvotes and notion of tiers have become secondary to me . This change happenend due to the elite kagglers like <a href=\"/philippsinger\">@philippsinger</a> <a href=\"/cpmpml\">@cpmpml</a> <a href=\"/parulpandey\">@parulpandey</a> <a href=\"/abhishek\">@abhishek</a> who have taught me that learning is more important , getting respect in the community is much more important , if you have this mindset everything else will follow</p>\n\n<p>At Last I want to thank my lovely team mates <a href=\"/rftexas\">@rftexas</a> <a href=\"/shahules\">@shahules</a> and <a href=\"/ibtesama\">@ibtesama</a> , it was fun working with you guys and special thanks to <a href=\"/rftexas\">@rftexas</a> for his support and efforts</p>\n\n<p>I thank everyone for reading this , I will try to keep on making notebooks that add value to the community and keep on learning through the competitions</p>",

    "897538": "Congratulations to the winners , and new grandmasters and masters , thanks a lot to Jigsaw for organizing this competition . Tweet Sentiment Extraction and Jigsaw Multilingual are the two competitions I started my NLP and Kaggle journey with and Today I have bagged silver medals in both of them . The last day was very tense for us and we did a lot of brainstorming for the final submissions , it was very tricky especially after the shakeups seen in Tweet competition .\n\nI could not express how happy I am right now with this . I started out kaggle with just the motivation of making good kernels but I got addicted to the process and come so far . Kaggle has boosted my confidence immensely , I was even scared of joining a kaggle competition two months ago , now I can write pytorch code from scratch , and confident enough to fight with any data science problem in general.\n\nWhen I was starting out ,there was this notion floating around that to be in top 5 percent you need to have a master degree or phd , have a lot of gpu power,etc . Well to all of those starting out I want to say I am an undergraduate student from India whose laptop got stolen in Feb 2020 , if you are willing to learn and work hard , there is no stopping you.\n\nMy thinking has completely changed now , I started out to make my profile shine , get upvotes on my kernel , get kernel medals ,etc but now I just feel like learning and contributing to the community , medals , upvotes and notion of tiers have become secondary to me . This change happenend due to the elite kagglers like @philippsinger @cpmpml @parulpandey @abhishek who have taught me that learning is more important , getting respect in the community is much more important , if you have this mindset everything else will follow\n\nAt Last I want to thank my lovely team mates @rftexas @shahules and @ibtesama , it was fun working with you guys and special thanks to @rftexas for his support and efforts\n\nI thank everyone for reading this , I will try to keep on making notebooks that add value to the community and keep on learning through the competitions",
