Yes, we realized we had a bit more time for the musical arrangements for the Applied Machine Learning Days live performances (which set the original timeframe) - hence the extension by 7 days.

It’s score above 15. Sorry for the confusion, we fixed it.

Yep, deadline for round 2 is still Nov 10th.

Hi all

Now that the challenge has ended, we will immediately begin with regarding all submissions on a different, private data set. As soon as we’re finished with that, we’ll update the leaderboard, and will contact the winner. Thanks for participating in this challenge! This was the first, but by no means the last genomic challenge on crowdAI :-)

Hi Edmund

Thanks for your comments about people on this discussion being more competitive than collegial. Can you elaborate a bit? Do you mean the fact that there were no immediate responses, or were there competitive posts that were deleted?

If the former, then this is probably related to an issue that we had with the email server, and that is being fixed. The problem was that no emails were being sent, which then led to little activity on the board. Very sorry about that, and a fix is about to be deployed very shortly.

But beyond, if you have any recommendations about how to make crowdAI more collegial, please let us know! We’re eager to make this a place where people can work together.

Indeed, sorry for the inconvenience, we have been running into a pesky memory leak issue. We’ll be sure to address this for the upcoming NIPS challenge. It also shouldn’t occur anymore in this challenge.

In any case, because of occasional server downtimes, we have extended the challenge by 48 hours.
