Rules

We've never done anything like this before, so there's a good chance these rules will become clearer as we go. We aim to be fair at all times, and reserve the right to make judgment calls for dealing with unforeseen circumstances.

• You must submit your result as code and we must be able to run your code.
• The result we get with your code is the one that counts as your result.
• To make it more likely that we can run it, your code must be written in Python or R or Julia.
• The contest is over at 23:59:59 UT (i.e. midnight in London, UK) on 31 January 2017. Pull requests made aftetr that time won't be eligible for the contest.
• If you can do even better with code you don't wish to share fully, that's really cool, nice work! But you can't enter it for the contest. We invite you to share your result through your blog or other channels... maybe a paper in The Leading Edge.
• This document and documents it links to will be the channel for communication of the leading solution and everything else about the contest.
• This document contains the rules. Our decision is final. No purchase necessary. Please exploit artificial intelligence responsibly.
