You find on this page the data for the competition.
For each problem, you can download the train and test set available during the competition. The idea was to use the first set (or both if you thought that helped) to train your algorithm and learn a model. Participants could then assign probabilities to each element of the test set and submit their answers on the compete page. More details are given on the participate page.
The solution file (which contains the probabilities in the target of the elements of the test set) and the model file (with a description of the target machine) are now available.Competition data
Artificial data
During this phase, the machine used to generate each data set WAS not given. In addition, different values had been given to several parameters while they were fixed in the previous phase of the competition: the size of the samples and of the alphabet varies, the number of states of the target is not the same, the symbol and transition sparsities take different values. More details are given in the paper containing the result of the competition. All these files can be found in this archive.

Real data
The first real data problem corresponds to part of speech tagging. The train and test sets are randomly selected sentences where words have been automatically replaced by POS. The evaluation is done by comparing the submitted probabilities with the ones obtained with the 3-gram baseline trained on the whole corpus (which is 10 times bigger than the available train set).
The second real-data problem comes from sensor information. Note that all strings are of length 20 as they correspond to sliding windows over a discretized sensor signal. It may thus worth to include a stop after 20 steps in your models instead of final probabilities... The evaluation is done in the same way than for the first real data problem.

Train data
These are the data that were used during the training phase of the conference which ended on May 20th 2012. The files containing the real probabilities of the test sets are now available. They correspond to the probabilities that are attributed to the element of the test sets by the target machine.
Hint: the name of each file (except for the first problem) contains an information about the way it had been generated.
