We should be mindful though that a team that shares some characteristics with fake teams (like the number of its members, or their account age or progression tier, etc.) isn't necessarily fake itself. I can verify that we've had personal contact with at least one such team, in fact.</p>\n<p>I've looked into the reports of legit teams that have been removed or accounts that have been banned and I haven't discovered any false positives yet. During the medal buying investigation, we did come across a number of real accounts that were in violation of Kaggle's Community Guidelines (progression and account abuse, generally) which were banned as part of that investigation though not suspected of medal buying themselves.</p>\n<p>We do take cheating seriously and we're continually trying to improve our processes here. You performed quite well and made some significant contributions to this competition, so I hope you'll consider joining us again sometime!</p>",

I don't mean to retain myself if I violent competition rules even it's accident. But, to know what I did wrong, I will be ensure that the next time I won't do the same and will run competition without worrying. Also, if someone I know want to join Kaggle, I can use my mistake as a lesson. It's about to improve Kaggle community.</p>",

    "2041497": "Hi Kagglers,\n\nWe’re happy to announce the conclusion of the Open Problems - Multimodal Single-Cell Integration competition. Thank you everyone for your participation!\n\nThis competition ended with 8,025 registrations and 1,602 participants on 1,220 teams. We had 27,149 submissions from 83 countries. For 305 users (including 34 in the top 100!), this was their first competition. We also had 4 new Masters and 2 new Grandmasters at the conclusion of the competition! Thank you all for your hard work in this competition and congratulations to our winners and to those who gained a new ranking!  \n\nThe closing of this competition is challenging as it was unfortunately targeted by a group that sells competition medals. Thus it took us some time to finalize the leaderboard. If you think you have evidence that suggests another team cheated or if you believe your team is removed incorrectly, please contact [compliance](https://www.kaggle.com/compliance). Please fill in all the fields honestly.\n\nThe top potential winning teams have been contacted via email for the next steps. We look forward to learning more about their winning solutions.\n\nYou should have already seen your points and medals awarded, however it may take a few hours to propagate through if yours are still missing.\n\nHere is a curated list of your work. Should you be looking for takeaways in the future, you have a place to see what surfaced from the work performed.\n\nHappy Modeling!\nKaggle Team\n\n###Top 10 Solution Writeups\n[1st Place Solution Summary](https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/open-problems-multimodal/discussion/366961)\n[2nd Place Solution - tmp`s part](https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/open-problems-multimodal/discussion/366476)\n[2nd place solution(senkin part with code)](https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/open-problems-multimodal/discussion/366453)\n[3rd place solution](https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/open-problems-multimodal/discussion/366428)\n[4th place solution (with demo code)](https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/open-problems-multimodal/discussion/366460)\n[Private 5th Solution (A Beginner part)](https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/open-problems-multimodal/discussion/366409)\n[[6th private - 3rd public] Summary of our solution](https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/open-problems-multimodal/discussion/366417)\n[7th Place Solution Summary](https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/open-problems-multimodal/discussion/366471)\n[8th place solution – strong fundamentals](https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/open-problems-multimodal/discussion/366667)\n\n###Top Notebooks (With >100 Votes)\n[MSCI EDA which makes sense ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️](https://www.kaggle.com/code/ambrosm/msci-eda-which-makes-sense)\n[MSCI CITEseq Quickstart](https://www.kaggle.com/code/ambrosm/msci-citeseq-quickstart)\n[All in one : CITEseq & Multiome with Keras](https://www.kaggle.com/code/pourchot/all-in-one-citeseq-multiome-with-keras)\n[MSCI CITEseq Keras Quickstart](https://www.kaggle.com/code/ambrosm/msci-citeseq-keras-quickstart)\n[[LB:0.811]Normalized Ensembles for Pearson's r](https://www.kaggle.com/code/vslaykovsky/lb-0-811-normalized-ensembles-for-pearson-s-r)\n[MSCI Multiome Quickstart w/ Sparse Matrices](https://www.kaggle.com/code/fabiencrom/msci-multiome-quickstart-w-sparse-matrices)\n[[🥈LB_T15| MSCI Multiome] CatBoostRegressor](https://www.kaggle.com/code/xiafire/lb-t15-msci-multiome-catboostregressor)\n[MSCI Multiome Quickstart](https://www.kaggle.com/code/ambrosm/msci-multiome-quickstart)\n\n###Other Top Discussions (With >90 Votes)\n[Understanding the Competition + Some Domain Knowledge](https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/open-problems-multimodal/discussion/346888)\n[Massive and organized cheating](https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/open-problems-multimodal/discussion/366313)\n[Recordings and Source codes of winners' solutions of this competition last year.](https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/open-problems-multimodal/discussion/348792)\n[Leak in public test set](https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/open-problems-multimodal/discussion/349867)\n",

    "2041578": "I do not understand the process about how to detect cheating in kaggle. My teammate works with us and he was blocked by this platform. Moreover, there are still many teams which definitely cheat in this competition but still stay in the LB. Can I report them again? ",

It was an excellent opportunity to learn about biology and learn from the Kaggle community.\n\nI've created a little graphical recap in [this notebook](https://www.kaggle.com/code/josecarmona/op-msci-2022-graphical-recap). \n\nThanks!",

But if I copy the link and put it into a new tab, the correct page will be shown.

It was an opportunity to work with data in an interesting and important area and of course to learn a great deal. \n\nWould just like to suggest if a future version is planned - please consider as a code competition.  Some of the issues that arose here are maybe mitigated when all the test data is not available.   ",
