  "content": "<p>Hi ,\nAs this competition with only 6 days to go, how to detect the outliers seems to be the biggest problem to improve the prediction.\nAlthough I tried my best to detect the outliers, my cv AUC score is 0.91XXX and BinaryLogLoss 0.0427  (5 fold , StratifiedKFold). Considering the outliers only account for 1.6% of the training data, the score did not perform well. </p>\n\n<p>With detection model, my current single model CV is 3.647 but the LB is only 3.688.</p>\n\n<p>I would like to ask what is the AUC score for kagglers who also try to detect the outliers in this competition ?</p>",

My LB score is not even close to yours haha.\nI still can not make the gap between CV and LB smaller.\nSo according to your experience, do you think the classifier really help?\nAs a data science beginner, Could I ask what's your model's CV score ?
