DARPA Unshredding Contest
DARPA held an unshredding contest, and there’s a winner:
“Lots of experts were skeptical that a solution could be produced at all let alone within the short time frame,” said Dan Kaufman, director, DARPA Information Innovation Office. “The most effective approaches were not purely computational or crowd-sourced, but used a combination blended with some clever detective work. We are impressed by the ingenuity this type of competition elicits.”
Lots of information about the contest and the winners here. This is the winning entry. And this is the original input for the challenge.
