[IMPORTANT] Dual participation detected. Please explain

Dear Yilun, Competition Committee, and all participants:

I am lizhipeng, a member of ihun team, first of all, I would like to apologise to the organising committee and all the participating teams for the problems that occurred during this tournament.

The accounts lizhipeng and li_zhi_peng were registered for different members of our team. As it was my first time to participate in a KDD competition, I didn’t understand the team mechanics and rules of the tournament, which led to lizhipeng and li_zhi_peng being in different teams. I am very sorry for what happened. Meanwhile, in fact, in Stage 1, the four of us were in the tournament together, but at that time, the results were very poor, and the organising committee didn’t announce the cut-off line for Stage 2, so we were very unconfident to enter Stage 2.

After Stage 2, I immediately used my li_zh_peng account’s google mail to send a message to the official email address yilun.jin@connect.ust.hk. I sent an explanation email and our proposed solution, and we used the account lizhipeng to Google Forms to filled in the submission ID of the competition with the worst result, hoping that our remedial measures would not affect other participants.

Finally, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to the organisers for providing such a valuable platform for us to challenge real-world problems, as well as to ourselves for our hard work and relentless pursuit in the past two months.

Best wishes!
