Dear Organizers, as always fantastic challenge. I have 2 questions regarding data timing. Are events in the training and testing set ordered by time? Also are all the data in the testing set timestamped after all the data in the training set? Thx

Dear Dymitr, thank you for your kind words and for taking interest in our challenge. Please find below the answers to your questions:

  1. The events in the training and testing set are not ordered by time.
  2. No, the training and test sets are not splitted in time but we made effort to prevent data leaks between training and test sets.

Good luck and best regards,
Aleksandar
