It would be very helpful for participants if you could provide the exact scoring formula or a sample implementation for calculating the metric. This would allow us to better understand the data and design more robust experiments and models.</p>\n<p>I also noticed that the current leaderboard scores are mostly zero, and there seems to be some confusion among participants regarding the correct submission format. Would it be possible for the organizers to provide a dummy submission example or sample code to illustrate the expected format?</p>",
