Brief
About DataGateway:
DataGateway is a Japanese startup with a mission to build a more digital society by applying the power of cutting-edge technology including AI, blockchain, and decentralized computing. One of DataGateway's clients is looking for an algorithm that predicts the number of views that videos uploaded to their platform are likely to get so they can maximize views. This algorithm will also help the company price the ads shown in the videos on its platform.
About this challenge:
The goal of this competition is to develop a machine learning model to predict the number of views that videos are likely to receive based on attributes such as duration, location, and time published.

Data Breakdown
In order to build your machine learning model, we have provided the following data sets:
1. Metadata
comp_id: Unique ID
ad_blocked: Indicates whether or not ads are blocked on the video
embed: Indicates whether or not the video can be embedded
ratio: The aspect ratio of the video
duration: Duration of the video (in seconds)
language: Language used in the video (encoded)
partner: Indicates whether the video is certified by the partner/sponsor
partner_active: Indicates whether the partner/sponsor is still active
n_likes: The number of likes the video has
n_tags: The number of tags in the video
n_formats: The number of streaming formats available for the video
dayofweek: The day of week when the video was published
hour: The hour when the video was published (24-hour time format)
2. Image data
Thumbnail pixel data
3. Title data
Vectorized title data
4. Description data
Vectorized descriptions
*Training datasets are marked with 'train_' at the beginning of their filenames. Please use these sets to develop the model.
Datasets marked 'public_' at the beginning of their filenames are sets you can use to make predictions with your model and test how well your model performs on unseen data.
The submission file should follow the same format as the example file (solution_format.csv).
Submissions are evaluated on e^(-RMSE/MAX(observed_values)), where Root Mean Squared Error is calculated between the predicted values and observed values.
NOTE: You may submit a solution file up to 5 times a day.
A few minutes after submitting your solution, you will see the accuracy of your solution on the submission page over a subset of the test data.
Final competition results are based on the Private Leaderboard results, and the winner will be the user at the top of the Private Leaderboard.

Rules
1. This competition is governed by the following Terms of Participation. Participants must agree to and comply with these Terms to participate.
2. Users can make a maximum number of five submissions per day. If users want to submit new files after making five submissions in a day, they will have to wait until the following day to do so. Please keep this in mind when uploading a submission.csv file.
3. The use of external datasets is not allowed.
4. A competition prize will be awarded after we have received, successfully executed, and confirmed the validity of both the code and the solution. Once winners are announced and our team reaches out to them, the winners must provide the following by April 7, 2021 to be qualified as a competition winner and receive their prize:
a. All source files required to preprocess the data
b. All source files required to build, train and make predictions with the model using the processed data
c. A requirements.txt (or equivalent) file indicating all the required libraries and their versions as needed
d. A ReadMe file containing the following:
• Clear and unambiguous instructions on how to reproduce the predictions from start to finish including data pre-processing, feature extraction, model training and predictions generation
• Environment details regarding where the model was developed and trained, including OS, memory (RAM), disk space, CPU/GPU used, and any required environment configurations required to execute the code
• Clear answers to the following questions:
- Which data files are being used?
- How are these files processed?
- What is the algorithm used and what are its main hyperparameters?
- Any other comments considered relevant to understanding and using the model
In the event these items are not provided or do not meet the minimum requirements listed above, we will not be able to award the winner with their respective prize.
5. Payments to winners may be subject to local, state, federal and foreign tax reporting and withholding requirements.
6. If two or more participants have the same score on the leaderboard, the participant who submitted the winning file first will be considered the winner.
7. All submissions need to be made as an individual; no teams are allowed in this competition. Users who do not comply with this rule will be immediately disqualified in the case that we find the same or very similar scores and/or uploaded solutions.
8. If you have any inquiries about this competition, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected]. We ask that users do not contact DataGateway directly.
