Guys… Any plans of opening this competition for fun/playground. I think MagNet dataset and the environment DrivenData designed paves an amazing opportunity for benchmarking timeseries models.

Hi @gowrishankarin - Thanks for asking about this–we certainly appreciate the sentiment! The competition will not continue to run, though the winning solutions will be released openly. It is possible the data will be made available as well; if that’s the case we’ll follow up to share where that can be found.

Thats cool. Looking forward to, Meanwhile I just want to mention there are very few datasets available for benchmarking timeseries models. I believe we all should work towards standardising this one for greater good.
