  4. Exploration Vs Exploitation Challenge (Phase 1) • ‘Datasets’ were given out on 19th January 2006 along with 3 baseline algorithms (Java) • Participants asked to write their own algorithms and submit by 26th March 2006 • We published seeds on 27th March 2006 • Participants submitted their results using the seeds by 31st March 2006

  5. Exploration Vs Exploitation Challenge (Phase 1) • 3 Participants • 1 France • 1 Hungary • 1 England

  6. Phase 2 • Challenge still open until at least September 2006 • Maybe even until next year! • May present final results at ECML or NIPS or next years PASCAL Challenges workshop • Dates will be finalized within next month • Same 3 types of task will be available • PLUS: Other variations of tasks and some more tasks

  7. Phase 2 • PRIZE: £1000 • Participants algorithms will be judged on a selection of tasks • Details to be released through the website
