Agreement
Participation in the contest constitutes the participant's full and
unconditional agreement and acceptance of these rules.
Eligibility The contest is open to any party planning
to attend KDD 2004. Each of the tasks will be evaluated
separately; you can enter in both tasks, in only one, or in
only one particular performance measure. A person can
participate in only one group per task. Multiple submissions
per group are allowed for each task and performance measure,
since we will not provide feedback on performance at the time
of submission. Only the last submission before the deadline
will be evaluated and all other submissions will be discarded.
Integrity
Only the data provided from this website can be used for the
contest; use of external data constitutes cheating and is
prohibited.
Winner Selection
There will be one winner for the "Quantum Physics Task" and
one winner for the "Protein Homology Prediction Task". The
winners will be determined according to the following
method. All participants are ranked according to their
performance on the test set for each task and performance
measure. Not submitting a prediction for a performance measure
will result in being ranked last. Winner of a task is the
participant who has the best average rank over the set of
performance measures for that task.
A honorable mention will be awarded for each task and
performance measure. It will be given to the participant who
is ranked highest for that particular task and performance
measure.
