Penguin Gender Identification - Difficulty: MEDIUM

Problem Description

Penguin Sex Identification

Description

You have a dataset about penguins. Each row represents a specimen and contains physical characteristics, but in the provided dataset we don't have information about their sex.

The available columns are:

id: unique identifier of the specimen
culmen_length_mm: beak length in millimeters
culmen_depth_mm: beak depth in millimeters
flipper_length_mm: flipper length in millimeters
body_mass_g: body mass in grams

Data example:

id	culmen_length_mm	culmen_depth_mm	flipper_length_mm	body_mass_g
1	40.5	18.9	180.0	3950.0
2	49.4	15.8	216.0	4925.0
3	36.2	16.1	187.0	3550.0

Requirement

Based on the physical characteristics, identify the penguin sex (MALE or FEMALE) and generate a submission.csv file with the following structure:

Python
1id,sex21,MALE32,FEMALE43,FEMALE5...

Evaluation

The metric used for model evaluation is accuracy:

1accuracy = (number_of_correct_predictions / total_number_of_predictions)

Scoring rubric

accuracy ≥ 90% → 100 points
accuracy < 50% → 0 points
otherwise → proportional score between 0 and 100
