Project 1 : Higgs Boson Challenge

This is a project realised for the Machine Learning Course [CS-433]. We were working on finding the best model for the Higgs Boson Challenge. After testing 6 models we ended up using Logistic Regression for our final submission.

Zipped Files

Before running the code you will need to unzip the files containing the train and test data:

• data/train.csv.zip
• data/test.csv.zip

Running the code

To run our code and get the final predictions you can use the following command:

python3 run.py

Final submission results

The final results after running the run.py script can be found in the results folder under the name results.csv

AICrowd

Our final results on AIcrowd gave a 0.814 accuracy .
