Stratified K-fold

As you've just noticed, you have a pretty different target variable distribution among the folds due to the random splits. It's not crucial for this particular competition, but could be an issue for the classification competitions with the highly imbalanced target variable.

To overcome this, let's implement the stratified K-fold strategy with the stratification on the target variable. train DataFrame is already available in your workspace.

Create a StratifiedKFold object with 3 folds and shuffling.
Loop over each split using str_kf object. Stratification is based on the "interest_level" column.
For each split select training and testing folds using train_index and test_index.
