We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the competition and that there are still many unexplored ideas.
Yes we would like to make a formal publication. And yes the solutions will be co-authors as well. As soon as we have started the process we will reach out to all participants to be included in the publication.
In the coming days we will reach out to all top participants on the leaderboard to discuss the next steps.
Hope this helps for now.
Best regards,
Erik
