There are two datasets in this competition. One is a
bidder dataset
that includes a list of bidder information, including their id, payment account, and address. The other is a
bid dataset
that includes 7.6 million bids on different auctions. The bids in this dataset are all made by mobile devices.
The online auction platform has a fixed increment of dollar amount for each bid, so it doesn't include an amount for each bid. You are welcome to learn the bidding behavior from the time of the bids, the auction, or the device.
The data in this competition comes from an online platform, not from Facebook.

Data fields
For the bidder dataset
bidder_id

outcome
– Label of a bidder indicating whether or not it is a robot. Value 1.0 indicates a robot, where value 0.0 indicates human.
The outcome was half hand labeled, half stats-based. There are two types of "bots" with different levels of proof:
1. Bidders who are identified as bots/fraudulent with clear proof. Their accounts were banned by the auction site.
2. Bidder who may have just started their business/clicks or their stats exceed from system wide average. There are no clear proof that they are bots.
