They always join the competition a few weeks before the deadline and stonks the leaderboard. I was expecting something similar here too. Don't know what happened but love to hear what you guys have come up with in this competition....",

If anyone is curious, I saw decent results with mixup on the input data directly (100%, always 50-50 mix) and training for long time. \n\nI hope for some interesting competitions to come up, there seems to be a bit of a drought now. Hopefully you will see us again soon :)",
