MachineHack successfully concluded its 15th instalment of the weekend hackathon series last Monday. The Melanoma Tumor Size Prediction: Weekend Hackathon #15 hackathon was greatly welcomed by data science enthusiasts and practitioners.

Out of the 205 competitors, three topped our leaderboard. In this article, we will introduce you to the winners and describe the approach they took to solve the problem.

#1: Devesh Darshan

Currently, in his second year of Engineering at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani, Devesh first came across the term data science during his first year. Like many, he started his journey with the popular Stanford University course by Andrew Ng. His curiosity led him to many other popular online courses as well. He started practising with simple data sets like Titanic and House price on Kaggle. He spends most of his time reading articles and blogs of Analytics India Magazine and Medium to learn new ML techniques.
