Just glancing through the teams it looks like UCD was the only team with a member (Chun-Yen C) that has industry experience. Everyone else pretty much stayed inside academia. Wonder how much of a factor that was to their success.

EDIT: Flagged. Thanks to masonic for teaching me how to use HN.

EDIT: I'm not sure how making judgements based on the ethnicity of the team members is "unintentional". Give me a break.

Why is this a relevant question? They got their education from the university so the university deserves partial credit no matter the nationality of each student involved.

Why does this matter in the slightest? The challenge featured teams[0] from Sweden, Scotland, the Czech Republic, and the United States.

In the US, ML/AI grad school has significant Chinese and Indian student population. It's not surprising to see this team composition.

You insinuated that the team must be from China because a majority of the team members look Asian. I don't understand why you thought that was important enough to bring to attention.
