Abstract

The paper presents an approach to the task of a data mining competition “Trading Based on Recommendations”. The approach is based on a heterogeneous ensemble of classification models, where each model was created independently by different participant of the competition. Each base-model is presented in the paper and a concept, and results of the overall solution are discussed.

B. Szwej—The authors would like to thank all the participants develo** the models included in the presented ensemble: Karolina Adamczyk, Szymon Bartnik, Michał Bychawski, Piotr Dankowski, Tomasz Dabek, Piotr Drewniak, Michał Dziwoki, Łukasz Gawin, Krzysztof Hanzel, Karol Herok, Karol Kalaga, Mateusz Kaleta, Grzegorz Kozłowski, Robert Krupa, Mateusz Łysień, Mateusz Małota, Wojciech Niemkowski, Krzysztof Paszek, Stefania Perlak, Dawid Poloczek, Marek Pownug, Tomasz Rzepka, Artur Siedlecki, Krzysztof Śniegoń, Katarzyna Toporek.
