Update on the ML Competition

New Results Date: November 7th, 2023

A significant portion of participants (35 out of 94 entries) faced difficulties with their submissions and failed to comply with the General Requirements. We considered multiple scenarios, including disqualification – however, this is the first Telegram Contest for many of these participants, so we instead chose to provide them an extra opportunity.

The relevant contestants have been contacted and were requested to apply further clarifications to their submissions. Due to this, the judges required additional time and effort to process each non-compliant submission – waiting for the contestants to send back the requested information, then to re-build and re-run their entries.

Therefore, the results date has been postponed to November 7th – so that all the entries can be evaluated equally. We apologize for the incovenience.

We’ve also extended the deadline date for comments on contest.com. We kindly ask each contestant to check their entry for unresolved issues. The 59 entries requiring no further changes from our side will be prioritized in the final scoring. We will also apply relevant penalties for the submissions that did require them.
