Do you perform score normalization before calculating metric in Descriptor Track? If so, what value do you use for the beta parameter?

Hi LexiBender, welcome to the competition!

There is no score normalization done before calculating the evaluation metric. If you haven’t already read through the description of the evaluation metric on the Problem Description page, that’s worth taking a look at. In addition to that you might also want to check out the eval_metrics_script.zip on the Data tab, which includes code for computing the metric locally. This might give you more insight into the actual computation.

I hope this helps.
