Create Example Algorithm

To support participants in getting started, each challenge should include a baseline example algorithm. This helps clarify the expected input and output formats for submissions and provides a minimal working solution that can be used as a starting point.

Deadline: 6 weeks post-challenge acceptance

The Starter Kit automatically generates an example algorithm for each phase of your challenge. This includes:

  • Code for handling the expected inputs and generating outputs
  • A Docker container setup that can be built and submitted to your challenge
  • A ready-to-upload submission that can be used to test the infrastructure

The example algorithm from the Starter Kit does not include an inference implementation—it is solely for demonstrating how to structure a valid submission.

🛠️ It is up you to add a minimal inference method to the example algorithm in order to make it a fully usable baseline.

Providing such an example helps ensure that your challenge setup is functioning correctly and gives participants a clear, working reference.

For instructions on creating, testing, and uploading an algorithm, see our submission documentation.
