Performance Analysis¶
The first submission results are quite encouraging. Scoring 0.96715 puts me in a strong position - this is genuinely close to perfect prediction with an AUC near 1.0. The gap to leader is only 1%, which shows our model selection and MLflow pipeline are working well.
Being ranked 1,427th might seem disappointing at first glance, but it's important to remember this is a popular competition with thousands of participants. The performance difference is actually quite small, suggesting I'm on the right track.
