Title
Lightweight and Scalable Model for Tweet Engagements Predictions in a Resource-constrained Environment
Abstract
ABSTRACT In this paper we provide an overview of the approach we used as team Trial&Error for the ACM RecSys Challenge 2021. The competition, organized by Twitter, addresses the problem of predicting different categories of user engagements (Like, Reply, Retweet and Retweet with Comment), given a dataset of previous interactions on the Twitter platform. Our proposed method relies on efficiently leveraging the massive amount of data, crafting a wide variety of features and designing a lightweight solution. This results in a significant reduction of computational resources requirements, both during the training and inference phase. The final model, an optimized LightGBM, allowed our team to reach the 4th position in the final leaderboard and to rank 1st among the academic teams.
