The results of the
second round of the
Data Clustering Contest are in.
In our evaluation, the
Stage 2 tasks – indexing and
ranking –
had the greatest influence. Clustering tasks similar to the previous round (sorting by language, news or not, categories and threads) carried a lower weight. Overall
speed of the algorithms influenced the final score.
See our
comments on contest.com for more information on each of the submissions.
You can also view the output for each of the submissions for three different days (evaluation data sets:
1,
2,
3) and see how they work in real time in the
Today tab.
In addition to the main prizes, we are awarding bonus prizes to those solutions that delivered
significantly better results than the rest of the submissions in each of the tasks. If a submission required adjustments or fixes to make it work, it was penalized accordingly.
