You continue to inspire and challenge us to do better all the time. A very well deserved first place.\n\nThis has been a really fun and interesting competition. I have never done anything with speech data before, and this was a wonderful learning opportunity. Thank you Kaggle and Google for organizing this competition.",
    "269647": "Thank you all. I hope everyone has a good time.",

    "270209": "Congratulations to everyone, and thank you to everyone who helped out along the way, especially CherKeng. You really deserve it.   Unfortunately I ran out of time to go through all the ideas I had.  It was a tall order with my overwork on my full time job, being my first Kaggle and trying to read all the papers, learn all the frameworks as Python along the way.  My undergrad course was in Comp Sci, AI &amp; Psychology 20 years ago, and only recently jumped back on the wagon.  I have been doing all of Andrew Ng's courses on Coursera and this was a great way to fill the gap till the last course in the specialization is released.  I really found that the courses gave a good foundation, but the practical aspect of doing this challenge has been amazing and I did not expect the amazing level of support from the community and everyone trying to give people a leg up.  \n\nLooking forward to my next challenge.",
