4X Kaggle GM Shares His Surprising Secret to Success in Competitions (Chris Deotte) - KNN Ep. 192

Today, I had the pleasure of interviewing Chris Deotte. He is a member of NVIDIA's KGMON Team (Kaggle Grandmasters of NVIDIA) and one of the greatest Kaggle grandmasters of all time. He has been previously ranked first in Discussions, Notebooks, and Datasets. Currently, he is ranked 11th in competitions and has been ranked as high as 4th. Chris also has an immense love for sports and board games. He has worn all sorts of hats throughout his life, and he believes that all of them have helped him to be successful in Kaggle and in his career.

In this episode, we learn how Chris got into Kaggle competitions, how he hacked the meta for a popular board game, and how he has had so much success in the Kaggle domain.
