Analytics Vidhya's Janatahack: Customer Segmentation

Final rank yet to be disclosed. I didn't particularly like this competition because of very obvious data leakage which killed exercise of building models, feature engineering etc. There should be competitions with realistic datasets.

Description Of Problem

Given historical customer data, predict the segment of customer in new market which is similar to their existing market. There are total of 4 segments, A, B, C and D.

Models

During the competition I built following models.

  1. LightGBM
  2. KNN

Approach for Best Performing Model

Infer labels directly from training data + predict for rest using model. Final model was a LightGBM model.
