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

Additional rules:
