We’ve had many great submissions so far, and the lead has changed hands a number of times. Congrats to quocnle, giba, trevs, and abhishek on their competition-leading submissions so far. If your name isn’t on that list, you still have these two weeks to make things happen.
A strong finish means we can provide an awesome solution to ERS, and that means they can be even more effective in their efforts to help schools and school districts.
Unfortunately, real-world data situations aren’t always nicely tied up in bows.
Education Resource Strategies gets data from school districts in a variety of formats, and their new data never looks exactly like their old data. But, they still have to complete the same labeling task on the new data. We used a couple strategies to make the test set much like what ERS sees in the course of their work. So, while it may be a little annoying for the competition, it’s what will help them most in the long run!
Thanks again for competing and good luck!
Peter
