Did not think my best public LB (~0.961) will be my worst private LB(~0.862 @ rank 332) and my second best public LB(~0.957) would be my best private LB(~0.948 @ rank 37). Kinda hilarious honestly.
Nice challenge though (ignoring the annoying data changes and all)
@Ches_Charlemagne Lol… honestly, it’s been very tiring. The constant back-and-forth—having to update the datasets not once but twice—has become a recurring issue on Zindi lately. Despite the enormous effort required to repeatedly start over because of these changes, only a non-Kenyan participant who placed first will be eligible for a financial reward. That feels discouraging, considering the time and energy everyone invested. @Zindi can definitely do better on this; it’s quite exhausting, I must say.
Shalom !!!
Participating in competitions are generally frustrating, but yeah, this is the first time I've been in a competiton where data changed multiple times mid-challenge without any reasonable extension of the deadline. This is also the first Zindi competition I have had the time to take seriously.
If data changes mid-challenge is a recurring problem on this platform, then @Zindi competition organizers could learn a thing or two from kaggle (and other platform) competition organizers.
@Ches_Charlemagne Well said—keep up the great work. For a first-time competition on Zindi, you did an excellent job. Well done, and welcome onboard!
