Ladies together with Gentlemen, the electrical current leaderboard shows 490 participants or teams. And the tiptop 5 of them are shown inward the screenshot inward a higher house (click the picture to zoom in).
Note that the medal winners volition win $12k, $8k, together with $5k, respectively (the numbers add together upwardly to $25).
After the start submission, Edwin – a consummate newbie at Kaggle.com which makes it fifty-fifty to a greater extent than impressive – was the #2 together with followed the user cite outrunner. Both exclusively had 1 submission – all the users beneath them convey many more. Some theoretical arguments (involving cherry-picking together with overfitting) every bit good every bit sense cry for that the users alongside many submissions tend to run into a deterioration of the score when the leaderboard is switched from the "public" purpose of the dataset to the "private" one.
So this should live practiced intelligence for outrunner together with Edwin, too.
Already Earth leaderboard inward a higher house shows that exclusively outrunner together with Edwin are competing for the gilt medal correct now. The other participants differ from outrunner together with Edwin inward the same mode inward which the computers of early on 1980s differed from those inward the early on 1970s (it is a metaphor for the scores; Edwin's start grade was simply 0.7556). The whole globe – or at to the lowest degree our purpose of it – was eagerly waiting for Edwin's 2d submission. Outrunner yet has 1 submission exclusively but an hr ago, Edwin submitted his 2d submission. And the result? Outrunner was simply outrun!
Edwin Steiner. Don't live misled past times the encephalon size which may live simply an artifact of the photograph.
So at this moment, Outrunner is using the incorrect even of the verb-turned-noun every bit his nickname. Edwin is on his mode to win the challenge. But it's every bit good early on to celebrate: the contender volition live over inward half-dozen weeks (August 13th). Edwin is confident that his medal won't live stolen together with its lineament won't live reduced past times the switch from Earth dataset to the individual one.
But he is worried that his principal nemesis already knows how to obtain a improve score. But does he or, less likely, she? That's the $4k question. ;-) Even if Outrunner improves his or her score, it's non the terminate of the hopes because, every bit Edwin says, "Es kommt der Tag". Or, to a greater extent than precisely, "Aber es ist noch nicht aller Tage Abend!"
(Edwin, I am also uncertain almost the English linguistic communication translation. But the Czech counterpart is almost sure "Nechval dne před večerem" or "don't praise the 24-hour interval earlier the evening". Simply: Don't gauge prematurely, OK? I establish a saying that is appropriate for Edwin's avatar: Don't count your chickens earlier they're hatched.)
OK, in 1 lawsuit outrunner's bragging turns out unrealistic, I volition write several weblog posts inviting TRF readers to cure all forms of cancer, province on some additional celestial bodies, together with outline the algorithm to consummate the theory of everything. With Edwin's precedent, the solutions should live straightforward.
By the way, I intend that if the winners' together with frontrunners' solutions are helpful for the experimental particle physics, they should larn far to a greater extent than than $12k or $8k – at to the lowest degree something comparable to an annual salary of the CERN professionals who didn't do quite every bit well. If that is going to live the case, I encourage Mr Milner or someone else to multiply the prize past times a element of 10.
It's slap-up to run into such achievements past times someone named Steiner. Before Edwin, I exclusively knew Mrs Steiner from My family, a story past times Ivan Mládek. It's almost people falling from the windows.
In the famous "A Midsummer Night's Dream Band", they had to bargain alongside a death. The musicians didn't telephone phone a medico to confirm the decease together with impatiently organized a funeral. The dead human roughshod from the 4th floor, he striking the sidewalk, together with he was live afterwards. In most cases, it tends to live the other mode around. An live someone falls out of the window, hits the sidewalk, together with and thus he's dead. But it doesn't ever convey to live similar that.
I used to live inward an even edifice inward Prague-Žižkov. H5N1 sure Mrs Steiner lived inward the tertiary floor. Everytime she drank a fiddling bit, she jumped from the window. The exclusively argue she survived was that she ever landed on a pedestrian. She has jumped on me once, too. It seems that she hasn't changed her quondam habits yet. I lately walked some that edifice together with a expose over in that place says: "Beware of falling Mrs Steiner."
