There are still three weeks left in the Wikipedia Participation Challenge (see prior blog post)! So far, the competition has exceeded our expectations. As of this morning, 78 teams (167 total individuals) from across the world have participated in the competition, with a total of 735 entries submitted. Half of these teams have beat the benchmark we set at the beginning of the competition, which is a testament to the quality of the teams and their submissions. We can’t wait to see what great algorithms the participants are developing.
There’s still time to jump in before the competition closes on September 20, 2011, so if you haven’t done so, download the data and start crunching. And those who want to cheer from the sidelines may follow the competition on Kaggle’s leaderboard.
