• This was my attempt at the What's Cooking Kaggle Competition, also my first ever kaggle competition attempt.
• The aim at the time was to get familiar with various ML classifiers and their parameters.

The entire solution is containted in: Whats_Cooking.ipynb

The competition is a multi-class classification competition with a lot of(19) classes. The training data consists of a bag of ingredients and the target variable is the cuisine. It's a great competition to try out various multi-class classifiers.
