From the rules it seems we are not allowed to probe the public lb</p>\n<blockquote>\n  <p>Imaging studies used in this Challenge have been contributed by several sources and are de-identified patient data, meaning that the contributing institutions have taken reasonable care to remove from them all personally identifiable information. As a participant in the Competition, you agree 1) not to make copies of, or in any way redistribute, any of the data made available to you, 2) not to attempt to re-identify any personal information based on the data, <strong>3) not to attempt to probe the test set's labels,</strong> and 4) to notify the Competition organizers of any personally identifiable information you encounter in the data by posting a message to the Kaggle community discussion forums.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p>On the other hand, many teams had probed the lb and it seems okay to do it. So… are we allowed to probe the lb or not?</p>",
