The private leaderboard has been added. It's the rest of the test set. Since the competition is over, this is the real ranking, I guess

The "other score" is the result for the hold-out portion of the test data. The shakeup is due to people overfitting to the Public portion.

Okay , but how was this score calculated, I never submitted prediction for hold-out portion of the test data ?? Am I missing something here ??

And public score also changed , why is that ??

A random selection of 70% of the test data was held-out for use on the Private Leaderboard.

> "public score also changed"

Your displayed public score corresponds to the public score of your best performing private score out of your two selected submissions.

Stability is king lol! 🤣. I can't believe I fell for the leaderboard trap knowing that public score was based on 30% of the actual unseen data.
