@Amy_Bray Could you kindly remove this sub from my subs. I was wondering how people were getting this score and now that I know , I think it should be removed. Thanks

Ohh I get it, thanks for the infor , yeah one hot encoded subs should be invalided ( the quality of the solutions get compromised by that kind of post processing )

My bad , was just trying some post processing tricks since my modelling is stuck at sub 0.002 ,

I wonder what the 0.0000xxx subs are doing

can't you go to submissions and select your next best two submissions? Then the 1e-15 related sub is ignored.

You can but then that makes it unfair for other competitors since they wont know your real actual score.

I'm a bit puzzled but, do other competitors know the history of your submissions? sorry for the naive question.

They only know your best submission. This is what pushes them to beat you. If they don't know your actual best score then how are they supposed to compete? That is why i wanted my 2e sub to be removed to make it fair

@Zindi should limit one hot encoded solutions . That is the only way to avoid this!

if the competitors are more or less aware of it, why do they still use it?

They wanna try it for themselves to believe it works. More people will try. You can't tame people's curiosity and curiosity is not a bad thing at all!

User avatar
Momati

agreed, but if they tried once and knew it wouldn't work, why try again?

@Zindi @Amy_Bray could you kindly limit one hot encoded submissions during this last few days to limit lb saturation with the misleading scores kindly?
