Its very economical for companies to have 100s of AI programmers work on this (for a few of months) for $25k.
But surprisingly the value they get out of it is certainly only 1 team's work.
- itissid 8y agoCan't they ask the top K teams for their solutions. Offer some smaller prize to them. I believe Kaggle supports that. Even if you have 10 top teams of 5 people each and gave them a sum of 300K total its damn cheap than hiring 4 or 5 full time engineers working for < 1 year.
- jononor 8y agoUsually in Kaggle they ask every team elegible for a prize for their solution. I believe it is just as much to ensure there was no cheating/hacking, than to actually make use of the solution itself.
- jononor 8y agoThis competition (and the followup) is official for important conferences in the field, so I expect many teams to publish their results. In general there is lots of discussion, tips & tricks posted online during such competitons, both in Kaggle forums and in blogs. So the value is certainly more than that off the winner, and most of it is available to everyone, not just the sponsors.
