What is Kaggle?

[What is Kaggle? A competitive stage where the world's best AI engineers gather]

Kaggle is one of the world's largest data science and machine learning competition platforms run by Google. Here, engineers, researchers, and companies from all over the world use AI models to tackle a wide range of problems and compete to come up with the most accurate solutions .

Kaggle has a track record of:

• Number of subscribers: Over 13 million (as of 2024)

• Number of competitions offered by companies: Over 3,000

• Participants' nationalities: over 190 countries

Those who rank at the top of this field are called **Kaggle Grandmasters**. There are only about 300 engineers in the world who hold this title, and they truly stand at the "pinnacle of AI."

[Introduction of our Grandmaster's achievements]

Our company, CyberX JP, has several Kaggle Grandmasters on staff, including one who is ranked 9th in the world and a gold medalist .

Here is one of the representative examples:

Mathematics-specialized LLM model achieves up to 60% faster inference speed while maintaining the same accuracy as DeepSeek model. Won 9th place in the world and a gold medal in Kaggle at an international AI competition.

This model has the ability to accurately convert natural language into advanced mathematical syntax, and has attracted attention as a foundation for revolutionizing the application of AI in education, finance, and research .

[What does it mean for Kaggle engineers to be involved in specialized AI?]

The difference in accuracy between generalized AI (e.g. ChatGPT) and specialized AI (AI optimized for a specific task or corporate issue) can be quantitatively shown as follows:

Generalized AI vs. Specialized AI: An example of accuracy comparison (image inspection AI in the manufacturing industry)

Model Type	Accuracy (F1 score)	comment
General purpose image AI model	0.78	Abnormalities can be detected, but there are many false positives
Specialized AI (developed by Kaggle Grandmaster)	0.94	High-precision classification of even the most minute defects

What makes this difference is the "depth of technology" backed by practical experience, such as "data understanding optimized for the task," "knowledge in algorithm selection and hyperparameter tuning," and "sense for data cleaning and feature design."

[Why "the ability to win on Kaggle" = "the ability to win in business"]

This is not just competitive ability. The ability to get to the top of Kaggle essentially overlaps with the following " business implementation ability ":

Skills required for Kaggle	Business Applications
The power of making the most of incomplete data	Dealing with noise and missing data in the field
Optimization design for evaluation index	Fine tuning to business KPIs
Ability to improve accuracy in a few days to a few weeks	Speeding up development and time to market
The ability to compete and win against methods from around the world	Establishing a competitive advantage

In other words, the winners on Kaggle are "professionals who can derive optimal solutions even in uncertain environments" and AI developers who are strong in practical applications .

[The choice to acquire the "highest quality technology" - neither general-purpose nor specialized]

Specialized AI and general-purpose AI are not opposing concepts, but rather, what is needed now is an integrated approach . Talent like Kaggle Grandmasters can take advantage of existing LLMs and general-purpose technologies, further optimizing them for their purposes, and create AI that works in the client's field .

the result,

• Improved accuracy: 20-30% reduction in error compared to existing systems

• Speed of implementation: From PoC (proof of concept) to implementation in as little as three weeks

• Reproducibility and maintainability: High stability of both code and model

[Why is it valuable to work with the world's best AI engineers?]

AI is a technology, but at the same time, it is also a "human skill." Kaggle Grandmasters are not just craftsmen who write code. They are science professionals who "design questions, formulate hypotheses, and verify them."

And best of all, when you work on a project with them, you can be sure that your project will reach a standard that is unmatched anywhere in the world .

We have heard comments from many companies such as, "It was only because we worked together with Kaggle Grandmasters back then that we were able to launch the product six months earlier than our competitors," and "We had no idea we had the talent to utilize our company's data to this extent."

[At CyberX JP]

We have a team of the world's best AI engineers, including Kaggle Grandmasters. We do not simply dispatch engineers, but act as "partners who will work together with you to solve business problems and create optimal AI solutions."

If you're thinking, "I want to use the power of AI to bring even greater results to my current business," or "I want to meet a team that can make better use of my company's data," we can definitely help.
