It is important to note that I did not share my code privately or engage in any form of plagiarism or intellectual property theft.<br>\nWhen the leaderboard was initially released, my performance ranked 24th out of 1289 participants based on the public test set. Upon the final evaluation using the test set, my ranking was 77th out of 1289 participants. However, a few days later, I discovered that my score had been invalidated. I am perplexed as to why this action was taken, and I am unsure how to proceed. This is the first time I have encountered such a situation, and I would greatly appreciate your assistance in clarifying the matter.<br>\nI understand that maintaining the integrity of competitions is of utmost importance, and I assure you that I have adhered to all the guidelines and regulations outlined by Kaggle.
