Submission Error
Help · 22 Mar 2023, 05:37 · 12

I did my coding in python, but when submitting I got a submission error, can anyone please advise. Also must the submission files be in R or can it be in python.

Hi @Jaw22. You can use any programming language. The Python starter notebook will be uploaded soon.

In terms of the error, I don't have all the info on your end. Remember, you are not submitting code but a csv file that should be in the format of the sample submission. Sometimes there could be slight errors in formatting.

Noted, I did submit a csv file called: First Submission in the required format. But I received this error: "Missing entries for IDs April_restaurants and hotels". But I got no missing entries for that ID.

Have you checked the spelling?

It is not a spelling error...weird though.

Thats strange then

Hi. Maybe enter your predictions into the sample submission file (keeping the sample submission IDs) and see if that works. If so, it's some sort of formatting issue.

Hi Therveshan,

Thank you for the feedback. I will do.

I was also thinking of running the entire code in google colab and see if the problem persist.
