* Medical Domain AI Solution :pill:

* Credit & thanks to teclov.

* Kaggle link: https://www.kaggle.com/c/msk-redefining-cancer-treatment

* Most exiting part is, real world problem statement and dataset availability.

## Tech stack :point_down:

Python | Machine Learning | NLP | VS Code :computer:

## Dataset :point_down:

1. In the project "training_text" file is missing under "training" directory (due to upload file size limit). Please find it in the kaggle link provided above.

## How to run ? :point_down:

1. Clone/Download the project from github.

2. Open project in Pycharm/VS Code.

3. Run "run.py" file or Run by highlighting snippets of code.

## Application directory structure :point_down:

## Lessons learnt :open_book:

* Important business metrics to consider before modelling such as Interpretability, Latency, Due to medical  domain very less error etc.

* Merge dataframes based on IDs.

* EDA & Viz.

* Log loss evaluation metrics.

* Laplace smoothing.

* Callibirated classifier.

* Stochastic gradient descent. 

* Response encoding technique.

* Feature importance.

* Finally, python :smile:
