Challenge Rules

1. CHALLENGE DESCRIPTION

  • This challenge is a part of AIcrowd Blitz, a 15 day competition for all ML/AI enthusiasts. We at AIcrowd believe in learning by solving ; so here we present you a set of 5 problems with varying difficulties. Take your time, understand the problem and solve it at your own pace, and do not forget to learn while you’re at it. (from Aicrowd website).
  • Each problem will have a separate leaderboard and an associated weight. This weight denotes the problem’s contribution to your final score.. The final leaderboard will be determined by the weighted mean of the ranks of a participant/team across all the individual leaderboards. The organizers reserve the right to change the weight of a problem during the competition.
  • The final leaderboard is calculated by the weighted mean of your rank across all the problems in the contest. If a problem is not attempted by the participant, his/her rank in that problem is denoted by the total number of participants in the whole challenge.
  • To help you "Get Started" we have a starter kit available for each of these problems. We hope they are helpful; if you find any bugs, typos, or improvements, please send us a pull request.
  • In case you have any queries, please reach out to us via the Discussion Forums
