    "970127": "manjeshg03 \n\nYeah, let's hope for the best",
    "970986": "Gonna try it this weekend and perhaps post the results after the competition ends 😂",
    "970989": "There will be as most of score from LB rank 15 to ~600 are in .97  to .96 .\nBut how much we dont know , could be like Panda one which recently closed on 23rd July.\nGlobal leader in score .9619 will be interesting to observe. There are almost 200 entry of this.\nJust 3 days to go ...",
    "972905": "it was funny competition, small data size (this time target1 are 200 orso) is always unstable & dangerous for shakeup haha![](https://www.googleapis.com/download/storage/v1/b/kaggle-forum-message-attachments/o/inbox%2F2730705%2F6d4a5e3a425723baf8688546886791b4%2Fshake.jpg?generation=1597625830912705&alt=media)",
    "972916": "I think the shakeup will be big. It's informative that many Grandmasters have only submitted LB solutions around position 500. That says something about public LB overfitting.",
    "972922": "i think it's because of public LB proving,\ni found i could get lb + 0.01 score with simple post processing, but i'm not using it cuz it's so danger & make subs overfit to lb\n(although basically i think this competition will be danger then made little effort)",
    "972949": "Most of the people are using ensembling, multiple models chances are kind of less, but can't deny. Let's wait for one more day to see the final output.",
    "973025": "cdeotte \nHow should we choose the final 3? Any strategy?",
    "973028": "😂😂\nNow, let's wait to see how big it is!",
    "973048": "There are many strategies and I give my specific opinion after the competition finishes. (Hopefully my strategy works  🙂)  For every choice you must ask yourself, \"what is the best guess of this model's (or ensemble's) expected private LB score and with what variance, i.e. confidence interval?\".\n\nThen you either choose the highest expected value if you're conservative or the highest variance if you're a gambler. 🙂(or since we have 3 submissions, choose a combination of both).",
    "973052": "what you think about geometric mean ensemble of predictions from various models.",
    "973077": "I would test geometric mean on CV. If it increases CV more than arithmetic mean, then go for it.",
    "973193": "I submitted best public just to feed my ego, I suppose) For final I choose much more stable models (I hope). And thanks, @cdeotte for your brilliant notebooks!",
    "973374": "Agreed. Big. Eg, I have a single model yielding CV .955 +- .015, and that's the smallest error due to sampling. In my world it is pointless to submit this.",
    "973388": "rahim3 ,\nI think the **shakeup** will be more than the **M5** and the final score will be **so close**.  Few more hours to go. We will see the result.",
    "973400": "Yeah, let's see!\nIt's going to be another sleepless night for me like the M5!",
    "973408": "glimmung  \n0.955 😯 \nWow, that's great for a single model!",
    "973423": "What was your highest single model CV and LB, @vin1234?",
    "975832": "Congratulations @jielu0728, Well Done 😍",
    "976058": "Well, with the error, consider from .94 to .97, ranging from 31st to 1363rd spot. Now, it's over, I will submit post competition and check...",
    "976089": "Thanks!! @rahim3 😃"
