Checklist ROAI 2026 County Stage, Grades 9–10 · Task 1

Asteroids

English title: Asteroizi

Clean a corrupted CSV of asteroid coordinates and classify asteroids as carbon-rich or not from their 3D positions.

  • Tabular
  • Data cleaning + binary classification

The task

Astronauts mapped a dense asteroid field and labelled the asteroids they analysed as carbon-rich (class 1) or not (class 0). Each row gives an asteroid's datapointID, its 3D coordinates X, Y, Z and, in training, its class.

The training file was corrupted in transmission; corrupted lines are those without a comma. Subtask 1 asks for the cleaned training file (the class of every valid row); subtask 2 asks for the class of each test asteroid, using a model trained on the cleaned data.

Abridged by SOTA from the official materials. The official statement has the exact rules, and it wins wherever this summary differs.

At a glance

You get
train_data.csv (with corrupted lines) and test_data.csv; the starter kit contains two plots of the cleaned training set.
You submit
CSV with subtaskID, datapointID and answer (the class, copied from the cleaned training file for subtask 1, predicted for subtask 2).
Scoring
Subtask 1 (20 points): correctness of the answers. Subtask 2 (80 points): F1 for class 1, rising with F1; full marks at F1 ≥ 0.845.
Rules
  • On-site at partner county centres, in the prepared local Jupyter environment
