Telegram ML Competition: Results

We thank all the participants of the Telegram ML Competition for their patience as the judges performed additional evaluations. We are now ready to announce the final results.

For the final scoring, we tested all submissions on code snippets from public Telegram chats. Overall, only two submissions scored more than a baseline solution, which returns TGLANG_LANGUAGE_OTHER for all inputs. Even these submissions only correctly recognized the language for 35.5% and 9.4% of actual code samples respectively. Therefore, there is no submission that qualified for 1st place in this competition. For details, each contestant can refer to the dedicated comment we've posted for each submission.
