What is the goal of the challenge?
The goal is to provide the best possible predictive models for the five tasks of the challenge using or not prior knowledge about the tasks. All tasks are 2-class classification problems. Are there prizes? Yes: A cash award and a certificate will be conferred to the winner(s) at IJCNN 2007. There will be several prizes: – One award for the best overall entry in the agnostic learning track. – Five awards for the best entries for individual datasets in the prior knowledge track. – One best paper award. This has been attributed based on the IJCNN submissions and the winner will be revealed at the IJCNN workshop. In addition, deserving challenge participants who need financial support to attend the workshop may send a request to agnostic@clopinet.com. Important: All final entries must include results on all 5 datasets to facilitate our book-keeping, even if you specialize on a particular dataset in the prior knowledge track. You may use the sample submission to fill in results for datasets
