Additional data usage

Hi,

thank you very much for organizing this great challenge. I found these rules regarding the use of additional datasets:

For a fair comparison, participants are not allowed to use any additional private data about the 45 OARs, GTVnx and GTVnx, but the pre-trained or foundation models (self-/partially- supervised learning without using the above organs or lesions) are allowed.

So there are no restrictions for public datasets?

Thanks

Hi, Yes, all participants are allowed to use public datasets for pre-training or fine-tuning. Xiangde.
