==================================================================================

This directory contains a sample submission for the ChaLearn AutoML challenge, Paris hackathon version. We use Theano to implement neural networks with GPU.

==================================================================================

Instructions:

• The metadata file must be included and remain unchanged.

• The directory structure and naming should remain unchanged.

• A subdirectory res/ should contain results (for result submission only)

• To create a valid submission, zip all the file with: zip -r zipfilename * starting from this directory, i.e. do not zip the directory itself, just its contents. The directory may also be zipped by turning on the flag zipme = True in run.py

• For zipfilename use something explicit to remember the nature of its contents (algorithm name, code version, etc.)

==================================================================================

Note: This directory contains everything you need for either code or result submission. * To submit the code, you do not need to generate prediction results on your local machine, just submit the contents of this directory as a zip file. * To submit results, first run the code on your local computer to generate a res/ subdirectory; then bundle everything (including run.py, metadata, lib/, and res/) and submit the zip file. This is what we want you to do the the hackathon.

IMPORTANT: you do NOT need to bundle the data with your submission, just the code and the results.
