Hi Brian,

For the reasons you mention (check the winning methods), the winning teams have been invited to describe their methods in the Multi-modal Gesture Workshop, to be organized next December 9th as a workshop of the ICMI conference. These and all accepted papers will appear also in the proceedings, so it will be available to the whole research community.

Dear all,

\n

the scores and rankings on Kaggle are from your submitted final predictions. The information published on http://gesture.chalearn.org/ is the scores and rankings that we compute from your models and removing the three wrong sequences. We will send the final scores to the Kaggle administrators, but we cannot modify your submitted predictions.

Hi, I check the submissions from your team and you didn't select any final submission, therefore Kaggle selects the last one (at least that is what I can guess from your submissions). You submitted some erroneous files the 23th of August, while your correct score where submitted the 22th of August. For the competition, we manually select the correct scores and and discarded erroneous ones, but that is not performed in Kaggle.
