B. Rank Predictor
Rank prediction is classification problem where the
rank of the given user is predicted. As we clearly can
see that predicting a user as ’expert’ (category - 4) when
he is ’candidate master’ (category - 5) is not a very bad
result as they both are very close to each other in the
ranking graph. But since the model considers these both
as completely independent categories we won’t be able
to get a good classification. The best score that we could
get was using logistic regression which gave us the mean
score of 0.604.
