As we near the midpoint of the Challenge, we are excited to report on the progress of our first cluster of participants: student teams in COS424, the machine learning fundamentals course at Princeton. You can find some schematic analyses of their performance over time, modeling strategies, and more here. Some of the students have open-sourced their code for all participants to use and learn from; you can find that code here.

Thanks to all the COS424 students for their awesome contributions!
