As more than 3600+ teams participate in stage 1 but only 800+ teams submit results in stage 2. It seems that private LB is calculated based on stage 2 number. But will the final percentage be calculated based on the total number(3600+) or number in stage 2(800+)?</p>",

If they're trained together, it'd be hard for the neural net to learn the features inside the nucleus.\"  Besides, we added speckle noise to our data augmentation after having seen your idea in the final 3 days. That made a single U-net a lot more robust too. You also convinced us to try mask RCNN (including matterport's) though we didn't make it to work as well as a single U-net and discarded the idea. As @Russ said, you embodied the true spirit of Kaggle. Sharing your high-LB-code during a competition is altruistic and respectful. I look forward to seeing you in the same competition again. </p>",
