\nB. Public Code Sharing. You are permitted to publicly share source or executable code developed in connection with or based upon the Competition Data, or otherwise relevant to the Competition, provided that such public sharing does not violate the intellectual property rights of any third party. By so sharing, you are deemed to have licensed the shared code under any of the eligible Open Source licenses listed below.
\nC. Use of Open Source. Unless otherwise set forth in the Specific Competition Rules above, if Open Source code is used in the model to general the Submission, then you must only use Open Source code licensed under an Open Source Initiative-approved license (see www.opensource.org>) that in no event limits commercial use of such code or model containing or depending on such code.
\nEach Submission will be scored and ranked by the evaluation metric set forth on the Competition Website. During the Competition, the then current ranking will be visible on the Competition Website’s leaderboard. In this Playground Competition, winners will not be selected on the basis of their Submission scores. Instead, potential winners will be selected according the the criteria outlined on the Prizes page.
\nKaggle will notify the potential winner(s) by email. If a potential winner does not respond to the notification attempt within five (5) days from the first notification attempt, then such potential winner will be disqualified and an alternate potential winner will be selected from among all eligible entries received based on the judging criteria described herein.
\nThe winner’s list will be publicly displayed at Kaggle.com. Determinations of Competition Sponsor are final and binding.
\nAs a condition to being awarded a Prize, a Prize winner must fulfill the following obligations:
\n(a) grant to Competition Sponsor the license to the winning Submission as set forth in the Competition Specific Rules above, and represent that you have the unrestricted right to grant that license;
\n(b) sign and return all Prize acceptance documents as may be required by Competition Sponsor or Kaggle, including without limitation: (i) eligibility certifications; (ii) licenses, releases and other agreements required under the Rules; and (iii) U.S, tax forms (such as IRS Form W-9 if U.S. resident, IRS Form W-8BEN if foreign resident, or future equivalents).
\nPrize(s) are as described on the Competition Website. Odds of winning any prize depends on the number of eligible Submissions received during the Competition Period and the skill of the entrants.
\nAll Prizes are subject to Competition Sponsor’s review and verification of the entrant’s eligibility and compliance with these Rules, and the compliance of the winning Submissions with the Submissions Requirements. In the event that the Submission demonstrates non-compliance with these Competition Rules, Competition Sponsor may at its discretion take either of the following actions: (i) disqualify the Submission(s); or (ii) require the potential winner to remediate within one week after notice all issues identified in the Submission(s) (including, without limitation, the resolution of license conflicts, the fulfillment of all obligations required by software licenses, and the removal of any software that violates the software restrictions).
\nA potential winner may decline to be nominated as a Competition winner by notifying Kaggle directly within 1 week after the end of the Competition Period, in which case the potential winner forgoes any prize or other features associated with winning the Competition. Kaggle reserves the right to disqualify a Participant who so declines its winner status.
\nPotential winners must return all required documents within 15 days following notification, or such potential winner will be deemed to have forfeited the prize and another potential winner will be selected. Prize(s) will be awarded within approximately 30 days after receipt by Competition Sponsor of the required Prize acceptance documents. Transfer or assignment of a Prize is not allowed.
\nYou are not eligible to receive any Prize if you do not meet the Eligibility requirements in Section 2 above.
\nIf a Team wins a monetary Prize, the Prize money will be allocated in even shares between the eligible Team members, unless the Team unanimously opts for a different prize split and notifies Kaggle before prizes are issued.
\nALL TAXES IMPOSED ON PRIZES ARE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE WINNERS. Payments to potential winners are subject to the express requirement that they submit all documentation requested by Competition Sponsor or Kaggle for compliance with applicable state, federal, local and foreign (including provincial) tax reporting and withholding requirements. Prizes will be net of any taxes that Competition Sponsor is required by law to withhold. If a potential winner fails to provide any required documentation or comply with applicable laws, the Prize may be forfeited and Competition Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, select an alternative potential winner. Any winners who are U.S. residents will receive an IRS 1099 form in the amount of their Prize.
\nAll federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations apply. Competition Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any entrant from the Competition if, in Competition Sponsor’s sole discretion, it reasonably believes that the entrant has attempted to undermine the legitimate operation of the Competition by cheating, deception, or other unfair playing practices or abuses, threatens or harasses any other entrants, Competition Sponsor or Kaggle.
\nBy accepting a Prize, you agree that Competition Sponsor, Kaggle and its agencies may use of your name and/or likeness, for advertising and promotional purposes without additional compensation, unless prohibited by law.
\nYou acknowledge and agree that Competition Sponsor and Kaggle may collect, store, share and otherwise use personally identifiable information provided during the registration process and the Competition, including, but not limited to, name, mailing address, phone number, and email address. Kaggle will use this information in accordance with its Privacy Policy
You warrant that your Submission is your own original work and, as such, you are the sole and exclusive owner and rights holder of the Submission, and you have the right to make the Submission and grant all required licenses.

\nTo the maximum extent permitted by law, you indemnify and agree to keep indemnified Competition Entities at all times from and against any liability, claims, demands, losses, damages, costs and expenses resulting from any act, default or omission of the entrant and/or a breach of any warranty set forth herein. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Competition Entities from and against any and all claims, actions, suits or proceedings, as well as any and all losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) arising out of or accruing from: (a) your Submission or other material uploaded or otherwise provided by you that infringes any copyright, trademark, trade secret, trade dress, patent or other intellectual property right of any person or entity, or defames any person or violates their rights of publicity or privacy; (b) any misrepresentation made by you in connection with the Competition; (c) any non-compliance by you with these Rules; (d) claims brought by persons or entities other than the parties to these Rules arising from or related to your involvement with the Competition; and (e) your acceptance, possession, misuse or use of any Prize, or your participation in the Competition and any Competition-related activity.
\nYou hereby release Competition Sponsor and Kaggle from any liability associated with: (a) any malfunction or other problem with the Competition Website; (b) any error in the collection, processing, or retention of any Submission; or (c) any typographical or other error in the printing, offering or announcement of any Prize or winners.
\nCompetition Entities are not responsible for any malfunction of the Competition Website or any late, lost, damaged, misdirected, incomplete, illegible, undeliverable, or destroyed Submissions or entry materials due to system errors, failed, incomplete or garbled computer or other telecommunication transmission malfunctions, hardware or software failures of any kind, lost or unavailable network connections, typographical or system/human errors and failures, technical malfunction(s) of any telephone network or lines, cable connections, satellite transmissions, servers or providers, or computer equipment, traffic congestion on the Internet or at the Competition Website, or any combination thereof, which may limit an entrant’s ability to participate.
\nIf for any reason the Competition is not capable of running as planned, including infection by computer virus, bugs, tampering, unauthorized intervention, fraud, technical failures, or any other causes which corrupt or affect the administration, security, fairness, integrity, or proper conduct of the Competition, Competition Sponsor reserves the right at its sole discretion to cancel, terminate, modify or suspend the Competition. Competition Sponsor further reserves the right to disqualify any entrant who tampers with the submission process or any other part of the Competition or Competition Website. Any attempt by an entrant to deliberately damage any web site, including the Competition Website, or undermine the legitimate operation of the Competition is a violation of criminal and civil laws and should such an attempt be made, Competition Sponsor and Kaggle each reserves the right to seek damages from any such entrant to the fullest extent of the applicable law.\n
\nUnless otherwise specifically provided under the Competition Website, under no circumstances shall the entry of a Submission, the awarding of a Prize, or anything in these Rules be construed as an offer or contract of employment with Competition Sponsor or any of the Competition Entities. You acknowledge that you have submitted your Submission voluntarily and not in confidence or in trust.

Inter-American Development Bank is asking the Kaggle community for help with income qualification for some of the world's poorest families. Are you up for the challenge?\n\n
Here's the backstory: Many social programs have a hard time making sure the right people are given enough aid. It’s especially tricky when a program focuses on the poorest segment of the population. The world’s poorest typically can’t provide the necessary income and expense records to prove that they qualify.\n\n
In Latin America, one popular method uses an algorithm to verify income qualification. It’s called the Proxy Means Test (or PMT). With PMT, agencies use a model that considers a family’s observable household attributes like the material of their walls and ceiling, or the assets found in the home to classify them and predict their level of need.
\n\nWhile this is an improvement, accuracy remains a problem as the region’s population grows and poverty declines.
\n\nTo improve on PMT, the IDB (the largest source of development financing for Latin America and the Caribbean) has turned to the Kaggle community. They believe that new methods beyond traditional econometrics, based on a dataset of Costa Rican household characteristics, might help improve PMT’s performance.
\n\nBeyond Costa Rica, many countries face this same problem of inaccurately assessing social need. If Kagglers can generate an improvement, the new algorithm could be implemented in other countries around the world.
