Rules¶

• All participants must form a team. A single-person team is allowed. Each individual may be a member of only one team.
• Anonymous participation is not allowed. Real name and affiliation must be displayed on a verified Grand Challenge profile to appear on any leaderboard.
• Members of organizing institutes may participate but are not eligible for awards and will not appear on the leaderboard.
• This is a code execution challenge. A Docker container must be submitted; direct submission of predictions is not permitted.
• Containers execute in an offline environment with no internet access. All required resources (model weights, libraries) must be bundled inside the container prior to submission.
• External datasets and pretrained models are permitted, provided they are freely and publicly available under a permissive open-source license (e.g., Creative Commons, BSD, MIT, Open Database). Usage must be declared in the algorithm description or accompanying paper.
• Participants using duplicate Grand Challenge profiles will be disqualified.
• Results obtained using CHIMERA-agent data may not be published independently until after the 12-month embargo period following the official workshop date. See Publication and Awards for details.
• The organizers reserve the right to disqualify participants at any point for unfair or dishonest practices.
• The competition is open worldwide, except for residents of North Korea, Crimea, or any region covered by applicable EU financial or goods sanctions.
