    "566220": "Hi All,\n\nI'm new to Kaggle and looking for people around my rank to team up and enjoy this competition with. I've recently added a new set of features which based on preliminary results, should improve my score to between -1.85 and -1.90. Currently, I haven't bothered with any hyperparameter tuning (all models same params) so I expect further improvements if I follow the advice from -\nhttps://www.kaggle.com/c/champs-scalar-coupling/discussion/97705#latest-565957\n\nSomeone with domain knowledge or 32 GB RAM would prove invaluable!\n\nPlease let me know if you're interested in teaming up. \n\nCheers,\n\nJosh",

    "566451": "Hi Josh!\nI'm interested!\n**About me:**\nI am also quite new to kaggle though already earned a couple of medals, and not very experienced in data science in general (did my very first `print('hello, world')` ~7 months ago) and therefore would really love to have an experienced teammate / s.\n**About my model:**\nI've tried a lot of different features for the moment, and I have couple more ideas that I currently didn't figure out how to implement correctly (based on given dataset). All my algo is done in several separate kernels. My model is GPU-accelerated LGBM, last 2 versions summary below:\nv1 mean CV -1.3764125, LB -1.529\nv2 mean CV -1.6487375, LB -1.555\n**Important:** I'm going on vacation July 15-30, therefore I won't be able to participate during this days. I am ready to put some other things aside and make more spare time to spend on this comp in August if necessary (discussable 😉 )\n\nAnyhow, if you're interested, you cant contact me here on kaggle or via e-mail blinberg@mail.ru.\n\nRegards, \nStas"
