I’m curious if the best models will be released, or even if the best methods will have to present a paper with their method.  
Also, if anyone reading this would release an open source implementation of their method (even if not one of the best), please let me know here 🙂

I shared the trained model, you can have a try.

I have been waiting so impatiently for this. I spent quite a lot of time on this comp and got nowhere. I want to learn how the pros tackles it!

Hi all,

We’ve just posted the winning solutions [here](https://github.com/drivendataorg/the-biomassters)! And @sukirthi24 is right, you can find the winning code to all the competitions [here](https://github.com/drivendataorg/competition-winners).

Happy hacking!
