Hi @liberifatali in the video at time 21:20, the slide shows that Site F is the private test set and Site E is the public test set. This also implies that our submitted predictions for Site D Capacity are never evaluated. My concern is that the final winning teams will be determined solely by Site F when the goal of the competition is to design a model that works for any site, and I’m asking the organizers if this is a valid concern.
About the back-cast question:
At time 38:30 a question arises that @jack_vandyke and I believe can be interpreted as “are we allowed to use data from timestamps > T when we are predicting for timestamp T?” At time 39:27 Matt answers no to this question, implying that we’re supposed to only use data from timestamps <=T. As the competition overview does not mention this rule, we are awaiting clarification on this topic from the organizers.
