Based on my understanding, the top five team appears on the leaderboard of Prescreened Area will be awarded money. Is that correct ? Or you will evaluate the submission on another private data. So probably some teams with lower ranks on leaderboard can end up to top five ?
There is some held out data we will evaluate on, but we expect it to be representative of the data that the leaderboard uses. At the close of the competition we will display the final scores and the top 5 teams will be invited to participate in the federated learning phase, after which prizes will be awarded.
