Coding in scripts

Hello,

I see that notebooks are mentioned everywhere in the rules of the competition. Does this mean that we cannot use python scripts to train the model ? Can you clarify?

What do you mean? We code using python in notebooks..

Maybe I did not express myself properly. My preferred way of coding is writing a new python module and training the model using scripts rather than jupyter (or colab or whatever ) notebooks. So my question is should we restrict ourselves writing only code in notebooks for some reason?

No. We use to explain the code.. You can use anything to train your code in

Preferably notebook. Because once we finish top 10, they ask the code in notebook or colab. But for training you can provide the result by any means during the course of competition

Huh. I usually work with notebooks and refactor my solutions into scripts at the end. Though I have submitted notebooks once or twice. I guess Zindi is ok with either format.

You can submit in either format.
