        • After the release of the validation dataset, challenge participants may upload output results of their learning models as described in the submission guidelines of the challenge before the deadline including a summary of their own learning model. By submitting the participant’s results, every challenge participant confirms that their work is original and only includes material that they own or have permission from the rightful owner to use
        • By submitting the results to this challenge, participants understand and agree to include those results for the method comparison. This comparison will be used to prepare a joint publication in which the writing process will be led by the challenge organizer(s). First and last authorship position will correspond to the challenge organizer(s), and each participating team will have at least one contributing co-author in the author list.
        • Every challenge member agrees that the decisions of the challenge committee will be final and binding all matters related to this challenge. If there is any change to data, schedule, instructions of participation, or these rules, the registered participants will be notified to the email addresses they provided when they are registered.

        • For training the network, no external data is allowed except the official dataset provided in this challenge and pre-trained models using the ImageNet database such as VGG16, InceptionV3, ResNet, etc. 

        Prizes

        • 1st  $1,000
        • 2nd $500

        The top 10 teams will have opportunity to present their result at the KOSOMBE autumn conference which is scheduled November 12th - 13th 2020.
