Is pseudo labeling is allowed, or does it violate the competition rules?

Hi @maksimovka - Thanks for asking about this. Per the rule below, pseudo labeling is not currently allowed. We will confirm this with the competition sponsor, and if that ends up changing we will make an announcement on the competition website.

> Unless otherwise specified on the Competition Website, for the purposes of quantitative evaluation of Submissions, Participants agree to process each test data sample independently without the use of information from other cases in the test set.

Hi [@maksimovka](http://community.drivendata.org/u/maksimovka) - The sponsor has confirmed that pseudo labeling is acceptable for this challenge. This has been [announced](https://www.drivendata.org/competitions/78/overhead-geopose-challenge/announcements/) on the site. Thanks again for raising this question, and good luck.
