Run this cell first, then call `score_submission('path/to/draft.csv')` after each approach. Do NOT access the test labels directly — use this function as a black-box scorer.

Use this after every approach to get your real test score. Compare it directly to the medal thresholds above.

## Execution environment - CPUs: 208x Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8481C CPU @ 2.70GHz (1.8 TB RAM) - GPUs: 1x NVIDIA H100 80GB HBM3 (79.2 GB VRAM) - Time budget: 84600 seconds (23.5 hours) - Today's date: 2026-03-01 - Weights & Biases: `WANDB_API_KEY` is set in the environment. Log all training runs to wandb under project `mle-bench-tabular-playground-series-may-2022`. Use `wandb.init(project="mle-bench-tabular-playground-series-may-2022")` at the start of each experiment. This is mandatory — it lets us monitor your progress in real time.

## Final deliverable

Your submission must be at `/mnt/workspaces/trenton/qualia/benchmark_results/mle_bench_low/2026-03-01_16-46-02/row_18/submission.csv`, exactly matching the format of `/mnt/workspaces/trenton/mle-bench/data/tabular-playground-series-may-2022/prepared/public/sample_submission.csv` with columns: id, target. Submissions that deviate from the required schema will be rejected.

Promote early, promote often. Every time you beat your previous best grader score, copy that draft to `/mnt/workspaces/trenton/qualia/benchmark_results/mle_bench_low/2026-03-01_16-46-02/row_18/submission.csv` immediately — this ensures a valid submission is always on disk if the run crashes or times out. Keep in mind that multiple agents may be editing this; it's always best to compare your work with the latest version as it may have been modified since you checked. Keep iterating on better approaches until you pass the gold threshold.

I'll tackle this Tabular Playground Series - May 2022 competition. Let me start by reading the competition description and exploring the data to understand what we're working with, then quickly get a baseline submission in place.

Message to agent: Please start training additional XGBoost variants now - don't wait. Try: 1. Deeper trees (max_depth=12-15) with more estimators (2000-3000) 2. Lower learning rate (0.01-0.02) with more trees 3. Try d…

Message to agent: Great progress! 0.98620 is excellent. My full LGBM just finished with 0.97412 - not great but might add diversity to ensemble. For closing the 0.012 gap, I suggest: 1. **Train more NN variants** - tr…
Message to agent: The NN approach is working well (0.98620 current best). Your CatBoost at 0.97045 doesn't help the ensemble because it's too correlated with XGBoost. New task for you: Try training a neural network or…

Message to agent: Update: Grand ensemble is now at 0.98732 (I just improved it). Your 0.97495 NN is too weak to help. Try a much deeper/wider NN architecture: - Input → 1024 → 512 → 256 → 128 → 64 → 1 - BatchNorm afte…
