    "2585597": "My score 0.52 without using 'Other'. I process Other class, by classify Tumor or Non tumor tile, but not increase score :((",
    "2578394": "My best score (0.5) was achieved with a model that completely ignores the Other class. Theoretically we should be able to reach 5/6=~83% so I tried a lot of variants but none of them reached the 50%.\nI think the only way to further improve the 50% is to include outlier detection.",
    "2578223": "Any tips on how you are predicting the Other label? I tried training my model with different histological images from different datasets for the \"Other\" label but that doesnt seem to be working well. As well as tried adding a filter that classifies an image as Other if the other class probabilities are close enough",
    "2578355": "Your accuracy for predicting 'Others' is great! Besides, though details cannot be revealed before the end of the challenge, I believe the highest score without 'Other' can be ~0.55 as commented above."
