Competition 2023 Results are out! Read here for more!

Results are out! Check here!

The `Results` / `My Methods` tabs will also be released soon and allow non-competition submissions and evaluation on HierText test set.

Note that, the competition submission from the DeepSE x Upstage team failed in the evaluation server, probably due to some memory issue in the server, and thus has 0 scores in the Task 1. However, evaluating it locally on our linux machine was successful, so we still gave this submission its fair scores and ranking in the competition. For fair comparison, we also evaluated all other submissions in all tasks to make sure that the local evaluation gives the same results as the server.
