[Doc] Update list of winning solutions in data science competitions using XGBoost #6173

Open hcho3 opened 3 years ago

hcho3 commented 3 years ago

The demo directory shows a list of winning solutions for data science competitions that used XGBoost: https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost/blob/master/demo/README.md#machine-learning-challenge-winning-solutions

The list hasn't been updated since October 2017. It would be great if we can update this list.

How to update the list.

https://www.kaggle.com/competitions is a great place to start. For each completed competition, look for the first, second, and third-place solutions. If they used XGBoost (even as part of ensemble), create a pull request to add them to https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost/blob/master/demo/README.md.

There are other data science competitions as well. For example, XGBoost was used in the first winning solution of ACM RecSys 2020 Challenge.

@hcho3 Could you please assign this to me? I would like to work on this & will update you regarding the PR as soon as possible?

trivialfis commented 3 years ago

@divya661 Thanks for taking interest in this. Assigned. From what I understand, there's no limit on the number of participants, so many people can work on the same topic. Especially for this issue, we can submit different solutions from different sources but still count as contribution.
