:closed_book: Community Contribution Baseline: To help you ace Round 2, weโ€™re excited to share a new baseline created by @saidinesh_pola. This baseline is built on tslib, an open-source toolkit that helps preprocess data following recommended methods, using a consistent 4-hour sampling approach. It includes a user-friendly Colab Notebook, making it easy to clone the repository, set up dependencies, and explore its tools. While the baseline is already effective, future updates could add new models, improve loss functions, and refine data preprocessing, though improving accuracy through preprocessing remains a challenge.
