After this added qm9 features and got something about -1.5. So the question is what can transfer to -2.0 or -2.5 - tuning lgbm parameters for each type or more feature engineering on qm9? Or maybe I am loosing something else? Thanks in advance!</p>",

After this added qm9 features and got something about -1.5. So the question is what can transfer to -2.0 or -2.5 - tuning lgbm parameters for each type or more feature engineering on qm9? Or maybe I am loosing something else? Thanks in advance!",
