In episode one of the Grandmaster Series you’ll learn from three members of the Kaggle Grandmasters of NVIDIA (KGMON) team Chris Deotte, Bo Liu, and Gilberto Titericz.
Watch the video below to learn how they built the winning ML model for the SIIM-ISIC Melanoma Classification Kaggle competition.
In this competition, the team had to create ML models to identify skin lesions from patients’ images and determine which images are most likely to represent a melanoma. The winning ML model was able to identify melanoma earlier and more accurately than the average dermatologist.
If you have any questions during the video, you can submit them through chat. We will try to provide answers throughout and at the end of the episode.
