So what won? Did they use conv nets?

Looks like a fun problem. I've never had much luck with NN for anything other that feature extraction.

It just finished, I got 4th. I used convnets. With the correct initialization and data preprocessing they actually are quite easy to train.

Neat. Congrats! I'm going to have to learn me some ConvNets.

Yes, they must've.
