There is a kaggle contest for duplicate question detection:
https://www.kaggle.com/c/quora-question-pairs
winner gets a few thousand dollars.
This is a big deal for CV and SE. The CV folks are likely kagglers, and could make some solid steps. It is also a place for some decent visibility.
In what ways is the cross-validated community going to engage this?
- are there teams I should watch?
- will highest CV score be a thread here in meta?
- when the winners blogs on "how I did it" are made, are we going to look at them for use here?
