Dear organizers, I have asked explicitly, whether it is required to put all values between 0 and 1 i the first round, and i was told clearly that i do not need to in the first phase. but now it says it doesn't accept negative values. I need to see the evaluation result of this submission. i just need to see this score, if you can email me. i had this problem **only because it was asked to be deterministic not until the SECOND webinar, which nobody can fit in your schedule and attend, and i only knew it very very late, probably another two weeks after the webinar when you posted the 100 questions on lien, and then i found out that i cannot scale every score between 0 and 1 , because i am not supposed to reference the predicted maximal and minimal scores. ** thanks a ton. Yuanfang   Hello Yuanfang Guan ????, Sorry, but we were unable to validate your submission to the Digital Mammography Prediction - Sub-Challenge 1.

Hi Yuanfang, Your original request is available [here](https://www.synapse.org/#!Synapse:syn4224222/discussion/threadId=1321). Below is the answer that I gave you when acceding to your request. > "For the first round of the Challenge, the system will accept **positive** confidence values larger than 1. These confidence values must have been generated independently for each test subject. Starting from Round 2, your predictor will be expected to generate predictions in the requested format." Please follow the instructions that we are providing. If you don't, your submission is invalid and the system will not process it. Here, we will make a final exception and score your submission (without taking it into account for the ranking as you suggested). You will receive the results early next week. Thanks! Thomas
you don't need to start every of your reply with apologizing, what are YOU apologizing for? it's the consequence of having 20 organizers that your communication cost is too high to come up with anything consistent.   i just feel i asked so explicitly on this point... ** IF I DIDN"T PLAN TO SUBMIT SOMETHING OUTSIDE OF THE RANGE, WHY DO YOU THINK I EVEN ASKED?** i have some mental problem? or i have nothing to do?   you already have my prediction file, **all you need to do is to run your evaluation code without your validation code, OK? and the latter we have never seen in our life, and we cannot predict what exists in that piece of code.**
Dear Yuanfang, We apologize for the confusion. If you go to this page https://www.synapse.org/#!Synapse:syn4224222/wiki/401759 on prediction file format instructions it states that confidence values cannot be negative. Best, Thomas
