Hearst Challenge Update

 Hearst Challenge is well underway. 330+ teams have signed up and  we expect the number to go up significantly. There is a lot of activity on the discussion forum, and  a lot of the questions are about the final evaluation data set. Something that truly excited me is the global nature of the participation. Here is an approximate breakup of the  participants from the different countries:
