The competition sponsors have asked that they have some time to perform some of their own checks prior to releasing the private leaderboard.\n\nThanks for your patience!",
    "554687": "EDIT, 15:22 UTC, Friday June 28: The leaderboard has been re-released!\n\nEDIT, 23:45pm UTC, Monday June 17: Kaggle has withdrawn the private leaderboard to investigate a few of the Kernel errors a bit further. Standby. We will update this thread when we have more information.\n\nPrevious Post: Kernels have been re-run for the second stage, and the private leaderboard has been released! Thank you all for your hard work in this competition and congratulations to our winners! Note: the \"change\" in leaderboard score from Public to Private leaderboards is unreliable, as the public leaderboard will not reflect the Stage 1 scores.\n\nAnd a continued congratulation to the many of you may reach a new tier because of this competition, as well as far more of you for which this was your first competitions.\n\nWe're also continually pleased to see how Kaggle Competitions serve as a great medium and vehicle through which the greater data science community can learn and develop their machine learning abilities and skills. Beginners and experts can come together to start, grow, and succeed. \n\nTo those of you for whom this was your first Kaggle competition - great work! We hope to see you again in a future competition! To those for whom this competition resulted in a Kaggle tier promotion - congratulations! Thanks to the many of you who have shared your solutions in the forums for others to learn from, and have shared valuable insights.\n\nWe also would like to give special thanks to Eduardo and Frederic from UPF, and Manoj and Dan from Google for allowing us to run this competition as a part of the DCASE challenge - it's especially great to have a unique audio dataset like this! We hope to be able to work with them in the future.\n\nAs noted in the forums, the competition hosts reserve the right to review any team's Kernel submission for adherence to the posted rules. Should it be determined that any of these teams have violated the rules, we will remove them from the leaderboard. If you think you were removed by mistake, please contact [compliance][1]. Please fill in all the fields honestly.\n\nThe top potential winning teams will be contacted in the next few days via email to provide their winning solutions for sponsor review. Should we need to move down the leaderboard for any reason, we will do so and continue to make contact with subsequent teams.\n\nYou should see your points and medals awarded soon, however it may take a few hours to propagate through.\n\nWe hope to see you in our next competitions!\n\nHappy Modeling!\n\ncc/ @fredericfont @plakal @eduardofonseca \n\n  [1]: https://www.kaggle.com/compliance",
