Participation Policy

  • Submitted methods must be fully automatic.
  • Both public and private data are allowed for use, but participants must disclose their utilization.
  • Organizers may participate and be listed on leaderboards but are ineligible for awards.
  • All participants must belong to teams, even if a team consists of only one member, and each participant can only be a member of one team.

Data Usage Policy

The data is provided under CC BY NC SA license. It is exclusively intended for research purposes, in compliance with the restrictions imposed by the original ethics approval and patient consent.

Following the conclusion of the challenge, the training and validation data will remain publicly accessible. These datasets may be utilized within the research scope of the challenge and in subsequent research-related publications. However, commercial use of the training and validation data is prohibited. In cases where the intended use is ambiguous, participants accessing the data are requested to refrain from further distribution or utilization beyond the scope of this challenge.

Publication Policy

We are planning to submit a paper including challenge dataset summary and results analysis. Members of the top five participating teams will be invited as co-authors. The participating teams can only publish their novel methodology without discussion of data and obtained results if the above mentioned paper is not published (submission to arXiv is considered as a sufficient waiting period). Once the challenge paper from the organizing team is published, the participants should cite this challenge paper if their work has not been published.

Scope

This Code of Conduct applies to all community spaces, whether online or during in-person events.
