Classification of Mushroom Species based on Images and other Data

All analyses/models developed here are based on the data uploaded to the Mushroom Observer.

Exploratory Data Analysis

• EDA of tabular data.

Replicating this Environment

I am assuming you use linux. If you use conda, run

conda create --name <env> --file environment.yml

If you use pip, run

pip install -r requirements.txt

Ideas

How to Obtain Labels for an Observation

1. Consider all ranks together. Alternative: Use only one rank.
2. Map all IDs to the smallest ID within a synonym group that is not deprecated.
3. Should there be no non-deprecated ID within a synonym group, map all IDs from the group to the smallest deprecated ID within the group.

Optimal Vote Cache

• Use a sample of the peak around 2.5 as a holdout set, check balanced precision for different values of vote cache. Use tabular model for this experiment.

Tabular Model Feature Engineering

• We can map lat and long to north, south, east, and west in a tabular model.
