EDS Challenge: Overview and Some Preliminary Results

I have been participating in the EPA’s Event Detection System Challenge (see phase III) held last year with a tool I developed named optiEDS.

During the Water Security Congress earlier this month in Nashville, Katie Umberg of the EPA presented the preliminary results of the challenge. Due to some restrictions and issues the five tools which participated in the challenge can’t be identified and they are named v, w, x, y and z. The names of the participating groups are mentioned in the presentation:

I hope the EPA will publish more detailed results in the near future so I can discuss them.
