About the presenter:
Jean-Francois Puget (IBM, #43 on Kaggle) shared his tricks for feature engineering and hyperparameter optimization. This included general tips and an overview of more competition-specific ideas from Kaggle. The main objective was to use feature engineering as possible (even if you fail at times), including using deep learning to generate new features and to avoid ensembling too early in the competition.
