Everything was good and submission was accepted. Then we trained the same model but on a larger number of epochs. Submission code and <strong>everything's the same</strong>, model's publicly available, but we're having \"Notebook Timeout\" exception withh well trained model. While submitting our prediction we're only <br>\n importing libraries (without downloading anything), loading model checkpoint, predicting files from \"test_soundscapes\" and exporting as submission.csv file. Guys, did anyone have the same problem?</p>",
