Competition Scenarios and Leaderboard Ranking

Competition Scenarios

In the official competition, we provide five scenarios, each has the following specified parameters:

1. Default

In this scenario, the default parameters are specified in the previous section. Unless specified, the parameters in the following scenarios are the same as the default scenario.

2. Higher infection rates

In this scenario, we aim to simulate a disease with higher infection rates. Specifically, infection rate from acquaintance contact \(P_c=0.05\), infection rate from stranger contact \(P_s=0.01\). Their detailed description can be found here.

3. More areas in the city

In this scenario, there will be 98 areas in the city, \(\mathcal{A}=98\).

4. Larger initial infected population

In this scenario, there is a large infected population at the beginning of the simulation. Specifically, there are 300 infected individuals at the first day of simulation.

5. Larger range of start-working time

In this scenario, each individual will have a larger range of time to go to work. Specifically, the start-working time \(T^d_{start} \sim U(t^d_{s1}, t^d_{s2})\) with \(t^d_{s1}=1\) and \(t^d_{s2}=8\). Their detailed description can be found here.

Leaderboard Ranking

The final ranking is based on the sum of rankings over all 5 scenarios.
