Getting Started

Participants register a team, receive a unique team ID, download the data and Starter Kit, generate their model predictions, and submit to the benchmark.

Workflow

Step-by-Step Participation

  1. Register Team

    Register or manage your team to receive a unique team ID, updates, and access to submission instructions.

    Register or manage team

  2. Receive Unique Team ID

    After registration, each team is issued a unique identifier that must be used for all benchmark submissions and leaderboard entries. Include this team number and your exact registered team name in the abstract of your workshop paper.

  3. Download Data

    Download the Spring and RobustSpring training splits needed for model development, local validation, and practice runs.

  4. Install the Starter Kit

    Set up the PTLFlow-based Starter Kit with training and inference scripts, data loaders, and example configurations.

  5. Run Baseline

    Run the provided baseline configurations to verify your environment, data paths, and end-to-end inference pipeline.

  6. Generate Predictions

    Produce model outputs for your chosen task(s) and export them in the required prediction format.

  7. Validate Archive Locally

    Package your predictions into a submission archive and run local validation to catch formatting or naming issues before uploading.

  8. Submit to Benchmark Server

    Upload your validated archive to the benchmark to receive scores on the development leaderboard.

  9. Submit Workshop Paper and Reproducibility Package

    Use the official NeurIPS 2026 paper format with its sglblindworkshop option for a single-blind submission with 4–6 main-paper pages; references and an optional appendix may follow outside that limit. Challenge teams must include their exact team number and registered team name in the abstract. Submit the reproducibility package with the camera-ready paper. See the Call for Papers for details.
