This folder consists of the codes written for the Avazu - Click Through Rate Kaggle competition.

The approach followed here is Follow The Regularized Leader - Proximal (FTRL). It is an online learning algorithm and the algorithm can be read from Google paper and this paper

Thanks to Tintgru for the base code of the algorithm implemented in python

Also from this paper, it is shown that feature interactions improved the performance in the similar problems. This idea is added to the base code to get better result.
