π UNICORN Challenge PrizesΒΆ
Running this challenge requires significant compute resources. Part of our compute budget expires at the end of June, so we kindly encourage participants to use some of their allowed submissions before June 30th to help us spread the load.
To thank early contributors, we're introducing two prize rounds.
π¦ Early Bird Prize (Deadline: June 30)ΒΆ
The top-performing teams by June 30th on each of the following validation leaderboards will receive a monetary prize:
- Best team overall: Validation All
- Best pathology vision team: Validation Pathology Vision
- Best radiology vision team: Validation Radiology Vision
- Best language team: Validation Language
In addition, all teams that submit before June 30th and outperform the baseline with a novel algorithm will be invited to present a poster at the UNICORN MICCAI workshop (September 23rd).
π₯ Final PrizeΒΆ
At the end of the challenge (August 31st), teams will have the opportunity to select their best submission, which will be run once on the challenge test sets. This will produce final rankings that will be displayed on the corresponding test leaderboards.
Based on these final rankings, weβll award a more substantial prize pool in the same categories:
- Best team overall: Test All
- Best pathology vision team: Test Pathology Vision
- Best radiology vision team: Test Radiology Vision
- Best language team: Test Language
Your leaderboard positions still count until the end of the challenge, but if your method is ready (or nearly there), we encourage you to submit early. It helps us, and gives you a chance to shine early in the competition!
