Pricing model competition - model review update

Alphathon
#1

For all teams that have submitted a model before last Sunday, in order to speed up the reviewing of all models, please re-submit your notebooks and include your trained model as a pickle file.

To learn how to save as pickle, please check the tutorial notebook (UBS Quant Hackathon First Round - Beat the speed of pricing models), available through your dashboard. We have also laid out the steps to include a file to your submissions here: Alphien Dashboard

Remember to save the model in your team folder. By default, your path points as your user folder; your team folder in within your user folder: from your user folder, your team folder is './your_team_name/'

Please let us know if you encounter any difficulties.

Thanks

Hello,


does it mean that we should create a new notebook and submit it?


Many thanks!

No, no need for a new notebook. Use the same notebook and use the option “update previous submission”. Then, tick the “include a custom file” box and attach your model. Remember, you model has to be in your team folder (not in a sub-folder of the team folder or any other folder, otherwise it won’t be found).

#4

Please make sure you use a syntax like this to pickle your file:

import pickle

with open(’./your_team_name/name_of_your_model.pickle’,‘wb’) as file:

pickle.dump(model,file)

Note it’s writing the object as binary ‘wb’; if you do not use this, there is a high chance your model cannot be unpickled.
