Few hours back, DagnyT after submitting best model of current score shared the intention to form team and asked Oleksii to merge team. It just happen to be the case I was the Leader (Kaggle can confirm that) and Oleksii couldn't send the invite  and I was busy in the office and got to know it later. They decided to merge repositories by the time I come back and form the team as soon as I see Oleksii message on hangout. It just happen to be the case Oleksii was testing the model with different seed and ended up submitting and getting the same score. Also Kaggle can confirm that we only made 3 submission in total including before and after the formation of team and best model was submitted today only. Also, I made Oleksii leader after seeing the message and then he formed the team.</p>\n\n<p>Let me make it clear what you were trying to say, DID YOU GUYS CHEAT? \n- answer is NO WE DIDN'T</p>\n\n<p>Sorry If I am being rude but I just don't like people starting to run their mind without knowing what exactly happened.</p>",

If you look at very small files, there are some that are identical but one is a 1 and the other is a 0. At this point it would make sense to just patiently sift through some larger files and manually find small differences that are not captured by the standard features most people are using. For instance, I was looking for &quot;insignificant&quot; differences something as little as presence/absence of a space before an = sign in a tag, that might differentiate the underlying code generation method of native ads pages (or whatever StumbleUpon is calling native ads pages). Anyway, I really hope to be wrong, but this doesn't feel like a ML exercise at this point. </p>",

We didn't try to use extra submission and you/admin can cross verify that with Kaggle that we only made 3 submission today. Also, admin can check all other previous submission of DagnyT and Our. It's our honesty that we explained what happened exactly. If admin finds we have done something wrong admins can remove us.</p>",

Few hours back, DagnyT after submitting best model of current score shared the intention to form team and asked Oleksii to merge team. It just happen to be the case I was the Leader (Kaggle can confirm that) and Oleksii couldn't send the invite  and I was busy in the office and got to know it later. They decided to merge repositories by the time I come back and form the team as soon as I see Oleksii message on hangout. It just happen to be the case Oleksii was testing the model with different seed and ended up submitting and getting the same score. Also Kaggle can confirm that we only made 3 submission in total including before and after the formation of team and best model was submitted today only. Also, I made Oleksii leader after seeing the message and then he formed the team.\r\n\r\nLet me make it clear what you were trying to say, DID YOU GUYS CHEAT? \r\n- answer is NO WE DIDN'T\r\n\r\nSorry If I am being rude but I just don't like people starting to run their mind without knowing what exactly happened.",

If you look at very small files, there are some that are identical but one is a 1 and the other is a 0. At this point it would make sense to just patiently sift through some larger files and manually find small differences that are not captured by the standard features most people are using. For instance, I was looking for \"insignificant\" differences something as little as presence/absence of a space before an = sign in a tag, that might differentiate the underlying code generation method of native ads pages (or whatever StumbleUpon is calling native ads pages).
