The private leaderboard has been added. It's the rest of the test set. Since the competition is over, this is the real ranking, I guess

The "other score" is the result for the hold-out portion of the test data. The shakeup is due to people overfitting to the Public portion.

Okay , but how was this score calculated, I never submitted prediction for hold-out portion of the test data ?? Am I missing something here ??

And public score also changed , why is that ??

> "I never submitted prediction for hold-out portion of the test data ??"

A random selection of 70% of the test data was held-out for use on the Private Leaderboard.

> "public score also changed"

Your displayed public score corresponds to the public score of your best performing private score out of your two selected submissions.

Its not using my best public score, and I can't select the best score either, is the platform bugged or something???

Stability is king lol! 🤣. I can't believe I fell for the leaderboard trap knowing that public score was based on 30% of the actual unseen data.
