Is there a public and private leaderboard? If so, what is the split and other conditions?

Hi @yinkafad. Yes all competitions have a public and private leaderboard. The final winners are determined by the private leaderboard. We don’t release any additional information about the split; our advice is to create the best solution possible that doesn’t over-fit the public leaderboard.

Best of luck!
