Dear All,

Thanks for your kind words. I am not the only one in the team,
which is composed by three people:
- me (Emanuele Olivetti)
- Yuan Tao (PhD student at University of Trento)
- Nathan Weisz (Principal Investigator of our MEG lab)
We participated to competition 1, i.e. discriminating
living vs. non-living categories for auditory and visual stimuli
from MEG recordings. The dataset comprised data from 2 subjects.

I haven't seen the final result of all the teams
(I am not in Paris, Nathan is) so I cannot comment on the
details now. My impression is that our results are not
great in absolute value, in the sense that we had above chance
results on one subject only. Moreover the test sets were
quite small for a 4 class problem so the variance of the
result might be large enough to say that luck might have helped
us a bit. Anyway it seems this was enough to beat other teams :)

We used mainly scikit-learn (Random Forests)
and for this reason we wanted to mention explicitly you all
for your great work.

I attempted many things during the competition so the
code is a total mess at the moment. I am very swamped
in this period but sooner or later I'll publish a clean-up
version of the last code.

Thanks again to you all,

Emanuele
