As you know from this competition web page, we’re getting close to the final steps of this competition.
\n\nThe temporary private leaderboard will then be exposed, pending internal Kaggle verification which should take a few days.\nThen the leaderboard #1 2 3 will be asked to provide their documented software to be eligible to the leaderboard 25k$ prizes.
\n\nBut we will also issue a call for all participants who believe they have developed an innovative algorithm (even if just a hack, even if not reaching the highest score)) to also submit their software with a short explanatory document, following guidelines we will provide.
\n\nWe expect these documents to be submitted by end of August. Then an international jury with both physicists and computer scientists will select by end September the most interesting submissions to attribute the special prizes : a NVidia V100 GPU, and two paid invitations to NIPS 2018 or the spring 2019 CERN workshop.
\n\nMeanwhile, the second phase of this challenge, the Throughput Phase will open early September till end October (not July as foreseen at some point). This will be an official NIPS 2018 competition. It will be run on Codalab platform. The dataset will be very similar to the one of the first phase. The scoring will combine a similar accuracy score (as for the first phase) with the speed. There will be 15k$ prize from the leaderboard and special prizes from the jury another Nvidia V100 GPU and two paid invitations to NIPS 2018 or the spring 2019 CERN workshop.
