Will I score top 5 in any NeurIPS competition? [weekly subsidy]

NO

Although personally I don't believe it's likely, I am making this market and betting YES to motivate myself.

I will never buy NO, I will never sell my YES shares, and every week I will buy 100-200M worth of YES.

The resolution criteria is very straightforward - if I score in the top 5 in the leaderboard in any of these competitions, the market resolves as YES. If I don't, or if I consider it astronomically unlikely, I will resolve the market as NO early.

I will probably focus on either the Lux or the Sensorium competitions.

Context about myself:

Pros:

  • I like machine learning

  • I am a data engineer

  • I really want this

Cons:

  • I don't have an ML PhD. I don't have any degree

  • I have never written a paper

  • I have never placed well in a Kaggle competition

  • I have a full-time job that doesn't have anything to do with reinforcement learning

  • I have a tendency to give up halfway with side projects

  • I don't have a brillian plan to game the rules, or a trick up my sleeve

predicted YES

resolving this early :)

predicted YES

just bumping this to say - 50% on this is very off-base :)

predicted NO

im assuming the leader boards are public and you'll be running under the same name so your position can be verified, yes?

predicted YES

@fredrickslick the leaderboards are public, I'll either run under my name or as istinetz.

Have you chosen what competition to participate in? This seems like a major factor

@agucova yeah, I mentioned in the description, probably Lux or Sensorium.

Lux ran for 2 seasons on Kaggle, I never made a serious, working submission. This would be a variation on the second season, except on a bigger board, with different rules. This is a multi-agent reinforcement learning challenge.

Sensorium is a competition to predict the visual cortex activity of mice given the visual input. I don't have any idea how I would approach it, it just seems cool.

predicted NO

@PeterBuyukliev I meant between both

predicted YES

@agucova I don't see why I can't attempt both? I don't know yet. :)
