Release of training and validation data (with and without ground truth, respectively).

10/13/2023 Release of test data (without ground truth)

Release of test data (without ground truth). At this stage, participants can download an encrypted version of the test-data a few days ahead of the release of the decryption key, to ensure that participants regardless of internet connectivity are on an equal footing.

10/16/2023 Start of test phase (end of development phase)

Release of the decryption key for test data. Participants start predicting the results on the test data. At this stage, they can retrain (or fine-tune) their models while still following the challenge rules.
