This project is orgnized by ChaLearn.org, a non-profit dedicated to organizing challenges in Machine Learning. We would like to thank Kaggle.com for hosting the submissions and for their support. We are grateful to the WCCI 2014 conference, the ECML 2014 conference who made us part of their official competition program. We would like to thank the Marie Curie Action Program of the EU framework FP7 for defraying the cost of the submission platform and Microsoft for their sponsorship of prizes. We would also like to thank the data mirror hosts: Joachim Buhmann (ETH Zurich, Switzerland), Joshua Vogelstein (Duke University, North Carolina, USA), and Alexander Statnikov (NYU, New York, USA).

The verification of the winning challenge entries utilized computing resources at the High Performance Computing Facility of the Center for Health Informatics and Bioinformatics at the NYU Langone Medical Center.
