Diversified Ensembling: An Experiment in Crowdsourced Machine Learning

arXiv:2402.10795v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Crowdsourced machine learning on competition platforms such as Kaggle is a popular and often effective method for generating accurate models. Typically, teams vie for the most accurate model, as measured by overall error on a holdout set, and it is common towards the end of such competitions for teams at the top of the leaderboard to ensemble or average their models outside the platform mechanism to get the final, best global model. In arXiv:2201.10408, the …
