I learned a lot form Kaggle and implemented them in my research works.\n\nI saw @abhishek sir's tutorial on melanoma video back in May, 2020. As my research domain is bioinformatics, I found the topic very interesting and found the competition link in that description box. Then, I saw genius people are sharing their kernels. I read almost about 25 kernels and got some ideas. Even, I learned the ensemble technique from this competition and applied it. Thanks to  @cdeotte sir for your amazing notebooks. \n\nAfter being active in Kaggle, eventually, I met a lot of genius people. @mobassir bhai also helped me a lot. Thank you @khanfashee for your suggestions.\n\nI didn't expect any medal but eventually, I ended up with a silver medal in my first competition. \n\nThank all Kaggle community for arranging such competitions!",
