How Public and Private test set was split
Platform · 22 Dec 2025, 11:27 · 1

Hi @Joel, how was the public and private test set split, was is it based on stratified sampling or it was just a random split.

The rules dont mention how

Public-Private Split: Zindi maintains a public leaderboard and a private leaderboard for each challenge. The Public Leaderboard includes approximately 30% of the test dataset. The private leaderboard will be revealed at the close of the challenge and contains the remaining 70% of the test set.

It may help me understand why I'm overfitting.

Hi @wizzard We used a spatial grid split to create the public-private split.
