Hi! Is it possible to keep the submissions open after the competition is fully over and ended (not right away) for learning purposes? Would be delighted to check out better methods on the test set. Also useful for new people as well. Maybe you can keep this as two seperate leaderboards to make the clear distinction. It’d be unfair to people who’ve actually won in the timespan if not. ---

Hi @skrish, unfortunately that’s not currently possible. We’ll keep it in mind though. ---

is a personal reply possible? (not on leaderboard or anything official/public). PS: My model got fully trained after the deadline with much better accuracy on my valset so I’m very curious to know how it actually works on the testset.
