Even the same author in a single publication can refer to the same dataset differently.  In the labelling we tried to capture this behavior by creating aliases so that the terms all point to the same underlying data entity.   While some noisiness and messiness is unavoidable (as we have repeatedly noted), we worked really hard to avoid that in the test set.\n\nAlso  - just a reminder from yesterday - we are thrilled to announce that we will be hosting the **Show US the Data Conference** in mid October in Washington, D.C., where we will highlight the results of this competition. As you know, the goal of the competition has been to help US federal agencies use state-of-the-art methods to quickly discover how their data are being used. Winners of this competition, as well as strong contributors, will have the opportunity to present solutions to a broader audience of federal agencies, publishers, and researchers. We welcome the Kaggle community to contribute your knowledge and expertise to these exciting efforts.\n\nWe are looking to incorporate the results of the winning models in some initial tools, like data usage scorecards that summarize usage for government datasets, and Data Inventories that provide lists of agency data assets and their use. We are also looking for collaborators on industry papers to extend the research of the work done on this competition.\n\nPlease fill out this [form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1q85f3Ca49J8LK0jiguD9I59eTN2fr_ahwzI_K_z6GbI/edit) below if you want us to keep you informed on these efforts. We will only use the information here for the purposes described above.\n\nThank you again for your hard work and collaboration! \n",
    "1335874": "This is a huge problem. For example, in the first document there are two labels 'national education longitudinal study' and 'education longitudinal study' in the markup, but there is only mention of 'national education longitudinal study', so it is not clear how we should predict both cases",
    "1334262": "I guess the,\nbottomline is, as indicated in various early discusions, if private test set includes double labeling (creating more than one ground truth label for one mention), as is the case in various publications in train and public test set (it is not hard to check that), this competition might lose [some of] its sense, because as highlighted above, the aim of an algorithm should not be trying to guess when a specific mention could be associated with two GTs and when not. \n\nThere is still time, and I don't see any other way... But since this is such a big problem, most probably, as a freshman, I am missing something,...\n\nI hope we will hear from host/kaggle/Masters soon...as I know I am not the only one :-)\n\n\n\n"
