Since RMSLE is not available as evaluation metric in XGBoost, think many of you may be using RMSE as eval-metric. How are you guys interpretting RMSLE in this competition. What RMSE should we consider good in CV to submit it and get good score on leaderboard.

\n\nYou can always create that evaluation metric in R or Python. However, you will have to also code the objective function for RMSLE.
\n\nBut as @happycube said, to optimize RMSLE using RMSE only you perform a log transformation of the labels beforehand. When you predict, you reverse the transformation afterwards to get what you were supposed to have at the beginning (the predictions but without transformation).
