Field IDs

Platform · 30 Aug 2019, 12:24 · 7

Hi all, it is possible that some of you have been using the field IDs in your models. If you come in the top of the leaderboard, if and when we validate your solutions, we will re-run your model without the Field IDs or other featuers derived from the Field IDs. Your position on the leaderboard will reflect this new score.

Thanks

The Zindi team

Hello Zindi,

Thanks for bringing this up. Isn't it rather late to make changes to rules just 2 days to the end of the competition.

I think it is strange to use FieldID as these are not data readings... it is common sense not to use them

Hello Zindi,

I completely agree with DrFad. It should have been known from the beginning that using those IDs are not allowed

Hi Zindi Team, are you saying we should not use the following variables; TransactionId, BatchId, AccountId, SubscriptionId and CustomerId. May you kindly clarify which columns we shouldn't use.
