First of all, congratulations to all the winners, especially the many students among us who are doing their best to improve in this very difficult field of ML. The future of Togolese ML is in good hands !
As for @ZINDI, the downgrading of my score to 0.5 is simply the result of a very unprofessional and disrespectful gesture. In fact, even me, I'm still not quite sure why @ZINDI took this decision, the only thing I've been told is that they can't run the provided script because it supposedly loads a file that hasn't yet been created... If @ZINDI had any respect for their competitors and the organizer, who is surely looking for the best solutions, they would have at least arranged a 30-minute call with me to discuss what's going on, but what did they do ? They just sent a piece of email informing me of a disrespectful downgrading. This is highly unprofessional and even suspicious. I hope this isn't the way they always handle things around here ... Otherwise, we'd better get the hell out of here!
Anyway, I've decided to publicly publish my codebase on github and a successfully running noteboook on Kaggle. Feel free to use them if they can be useful to you in any way.
Despite this regrettable decision by @ZINDI, I'm delighted that my country is moving forward and not being left behind in this AI / ML race.

Hello everyone, hello @zkiller, I'm writing this message to, first of all, show you my support following the recent events. We all know how hard you've worked and how determined you were to succeed. It's clear that you deserved your place. Regardless of the results, know that your performance was impressive and you demonstrated great skill and determination throughout the competition. Challenges and obstacles are part of the journey, as the saying goes, but despite this frustrating situation, it does not diminish your passion, talent, and the respect we all have for you. Could or should @ZINDI have handled things differently? Certainly! Also, It's truly admirable of you to share your work and knowledge with the community. Not only does it demonstrate what I mentioned earlier, but also it'll undoubtedly be a valuable resource for many participants. Thank you very much for that. Once again, congratulations on your performance, and above all keep your head held high!
