 To help competition participants get started, we have made available in this repo several baselines models for MIND and MIND News Competition.  These include complete notebooks for [DKN](../../examples/00_quick_start/dkn_MIND.ipynb), [LSTUR](../../examples/00_quick_start/lstur_MIND.ipynb), [NAML](../../examples/00_quick_start/naml_MIND.ipynb), [NPA](../../examples/00_quick_start/npa_MIND.ipynb) and [NRMS](../../examples/00_quick_start/nrms_MIND.ipynb) developed and tested on MIND sample datasets.
