• you can tell that the public LB is overfitted if:
    • you have a good local CV, and you’re doing a lot, but still not doing that well on the leaderboard
    • there are too many beginners on the top ranks
  • You can get an accurate understanding of where you are by
      1. Pulling the scores of masters & grandmasters with low scores (with prob > 5 submissions)
      • cause these ppl typically submit decent submissions (and have good CV)
      1. Then plot these scores on the scatter plot
      • Try to beat these scores in your local CV
      • Note: your local CV should have a worse score than the public leaderboard since submissions are trained on all the data (not just n - 1 folds in CV)
