Click-Through Rate Prediction

Predicts ad clicks with feature hashing and gradient boosting

3-4 weeks build

Overview

Works on a sample of the public Avazu click-through dataset from Kaggle, where most features are high-cardinality categoricals. The kit compares one-hot encoding, feature hashing and target encoding, trains logistic regression and LightGBM, and evaluates with log loss and ROC-AUC on a time-ordered split. A FastAPI endpoint returns a click probability for an ad impression.

What makes it stand up

  • 01Handles millions of rows with chunked loading and sampling
  • 02Feature hashing compared with one-hot and target encoding
  • 03Logistic regression baseline against LightGBM
  • 04Log loss, ROC-AUC and calibration on a time-ordered split
  • 05FastAPI scoring endpoint for single impressions

Module breakdown

  1. 01

    Data handling

    Chunked reads, sampling and memory-efficient dtypes.

  2. 02

    Encoding

    Hashing trick, one-hot and target encoding pipelines.

  3. 03

    Models

    Logistic regression and LightGBM with early stopping.

  4. 04

    Evaluation
