I'm very excited to announce that, after an evaluation of contributions to this competition, we have identified the following award winners for the two categories of prizes.
\n\nTPU Leaderboard Prizes: Awarded to the solutions using TPUs with highest leaderboard rankings. (Note that these were awarded based off of self-nominated candidates, as it required that winning solutions not have trained on overlaps/duplicates of the test set.)\n- 1st Place: Manuel Campos | Private LB: 0.96935 | Public Solution Post\n- 2nd Place: zenerdiode818 | Private LB: 0.96816 | Public Solution Post\n- 3rd Place: Bruce Young | Private LB: 0.96704 | Public Solution Post
\n\nTPU Star Prizes: Awarded to the most knowledgeable and helpful TPU experts in the community.\n- 1st Place: [rapids.ai] Chris Deotte\n- 2nd Place: Yih-Dar SHIEH\n- 3rd Place: DimitreOliveira
\n\nCongratulations to all the winners! We invite you to take a look at all of their public notebooks on this competition, which are a wealth of information for getting started on using TPUs for this dataset!
\n\nSpoiler alert: We'll be launching an evergreen getting started version of this competition to make the dataset (including test set) fully public and allow users to continue to play with and learn from it, without the pressure of a prize-based competition.
