We have received a handful of questions from competitors asking for clarity on the level of complexity of the Final Challenge and details about the documents they will need to process. The Qualifying Challenge was meant to be relatively simple but the documents do not reflect or hint at the compexity of the Final Challenge. You guys are right.
The simplest answer for all of your questions is to allow you to see the Final Challenge documents early! I'm glad to announce that the training documents for the Final Challenge are now available for download on our FTP server in the same location as the Qualifying Challenge documents.
DRAS_sample_v1_20150605.zip are the Qualifying Challenge documents
DRAS_sample_v2_20151104.rar are the Final Challenge documents
We will be using similar but different documents containing the same type of data to test your submissions though, so please do not code your solutions to work only with these documents and formats. They will not be accepted. All parsing solutions reliant on the document format will not work as you will clearly see.
Also, with Google's exciting announcement open sourcing its TensorFlow libraries, we are excited to let you know that solutions utilizing TensorFlow are welcomed and encouraged!
Please have a look at the new documents! As always if you have questions please don't hesitate to ask.
