How to get started
Create your most insightful analysis using DataLab, our in-browser tool to write, run, and publish data analyses. Once you’ve finished your work, you’ll need to publish it for review.
Judging criteria
Your submission will be scored using a custom weighted confusion matrix to account for cost-based priorities. Each class receives an equal weighting to calculate your overall prediction performance. Thus, factual prediction score counts for 33.3%, contradiction classification for 33.3%, and irrelevant for 33.3%. Your classification evaluation on the test set will be ranked among all teams in the competition. A total of 6000 points (34.60% of the total amount of points of the Data4Good challenge) can be earned by successfully submitting the competition.
