Thank you for contributing and sharing your solution! A question and a tip:

- Q: How did you pick your chosen learning rate and the number of epochs? Any tricks, or just hand-picked due to time constraints?

- Tip: simpletransformers has great integration with Weights & Biases - if you're doing more with NLP going forward it's a nice easy way to track training progress and experiments. Also kind of addictive watching the loss change over time ;)

Also congrats - I see you're way up on a lot of leaderboards in the short time you've been on here. Nice work!!!

I did try with default values first and then changing few of the parameters manually. In my case only increasing no. of epoch helped to improve the score. Due to time-constraint and limited availability of GPU on Colab I missed to try couple of ideas. Strangely Colab was getting disconnected after 30mins may be because I have used lot of GPU over the weekend :) Kaggle I was running into error when using transformers. Would love to see you solution!

Thanks for that tip !!.

#45 rank solution. Using Fast.ai https://github.com/anindabitm/Zindi_hack/blob/master/Zindi-hack-4-nlp-vaccine.ipynb

Could not use simpletransformers on kaggle. Was giving error on importing and Colab was already heavily used up. Congratulations to winners.

Thanks for sharing @Chetan_Ambi and @aninda_bitm

Mine was a simple bag-of-words approach and an xgboost model (0.571 rmse and #34 position). Word embeddings with an RNN performed worse
