NIPS 2017: Learning to Run
Challenge Rules
In order to avoid overfitting to the training environment, the participants with score > 15 will be asked to resubmit their solutions in the second round of the challenge. The final ranking will be based on results from the second round.
Round 2 Rules:
- 1) All eligible participants/teams are allowed 5 successful submissions (instead of 3) and upto 2 failed submissions
- 2) The submitted container will not have access to external network when being graded
- 3) Each submission container is allowed to use a maximum memory of 5GB
- 4) Each submission will be evaluated for atleast
N=10
simulations. - 4.5) In case of a tie between the top-2 participants, we will re-run their submissions with
N=20
and the new scores will be used as a tie breaker. - 5) Timeout for a submission is 8hours. In case of
N > 10
, the timeout will be proportionally increased. - 6) Each team can use only one account in the second round
- 7) A team with two or more accounts accepted in the second round is obliged to report this issue to the organizers immediately, before submitting any solution
- 7.5) To be eligible for the prize as a team, the combined submissions from the accounts of all team members in round 2 has to be less than or equal to upto 5 successful submissions (+2 failed submissions).
- 8) The winners will be asked to release the code and the trained models of the solution
- 9) Violation of the rules or other unfair activity may result in disqualification for the prizes
