22. © Hitachi, Ltd. 2020. All rights reserved. Resources Tools Discussion :Slack To Do: Trello Code : Kaggle Kernel Our Experience First pure image competition for all members. All Kaggle expert 22 Machine Resources GPU : P100 * 7 → P100 * 4 (Kaggle Kernel)
23. © Hitachi, Ltd. 2020. All rights reserved. Our Policy Try every methods in Discussion/ Public Kernel We investigated all discussion and high score kernel. We try most methods. 23 Number of experiments first (Not jobs, Not research) Understanding method is also important, but it is more important not to stop GPUs during the competition.
24. © Hitachi, Ltd. 2020. All rights reserved. Unsophisticated Works View and Listen many data Some sounds are very dirty. Viewing and listening the data is most important for making hypothesis. 24 Try many famous architecture We try many famous architecture. (ex. Resnet, Densenet, Wideresnet, resnext, se-resnext...)
