Kaggle "Riiid Answer Correctness Prediction" competition

Competition overview: https://www.kaggle.com/c/riiid-test-answer-prediction/overview/description

This repository contains the code used to generate and submit the solution, which ranked 56th with a 80.2% ROC AUC score. The best performing model is based on a blending of a Lightgbm, a Catboost, and a Keras MLP model.

The repository also contains an encoder-decoder transformer based model, inspired by the Saint+ paper which scored 79.6%, but was not integrated in the final solution due to the submission notebook running time constraint of 9 hours.

Running the code

  • Create a new Riiid folder, and a sub folder data
  • Download and save the competition data in the newly created data folder
  • Set the RIIID_PATH environment variable to the Riiid folder path
  • Run scripts/build_validation.py
  • Run scripts/train.py

The training is configured to be performed on a small subset of the data (30k users), on a 16GB machine. Training the model on the full dataset requires 256GB of RAM, and was performed on an AWS EC2 instance by running aws/train.py (running this script requires an AWS account, credentials, and the AWS Doppel package).

The Saint+ like Transformer model can be trained by running scripts/train_saint.py. On the full dataset, features where generated using an AWS 128GB EC2 instance and the model was trained on a Kaggle TPUv3 notebook for 2 hours.
