Participation Policy

  • Submitted methods must be fully automatic.
  • Public and Private Data are permitted, however their use must be disclosed by participants.
  • Organizers may participate and be listed in leaderboards, but are not eligble for awards.
  • All participants must form teams (even if the team is composed of a single participant), and each participant can only be a member of a single team.

Data Usage Policy

The data is made available under CC BY NC SA 4.0. The challenge data shall be available for use exclusively for research purposes, due to the restrictions from original ethics approval and patient consent.

The training and validation data will remain publicly available after the completion of the challenge, and is accessible here. The training and validation data may be used within the research remit of this challenge, and in further research-related publications. The training and validation data is not to be used commercially. However, if the desired use case is unclear, the organizers ask that those accessing the data refrain from further use or distribution outside of this challenge.

Publication Policy

We aim to submit a publication which summarizes the dataset and results from the challenge. Members of the top five teams will be invited as co-authors.

We encourage participants to submit papers of their contributions and/or any novel methodologies for medical image registration. However, until the challenge paper is published (submission to arXiv is considered sufficient), participants should not refer to challenge-specific data or results. Participants must cite the challenge paper and dataset once they are available.

Participant Code of Conduct

By participating in this challenge, you as an organizer or participant pledge to make participation in our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

You pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming, diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.

  • Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
  • Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
  • Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes, and learning from the experience
  • Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the overall community

Examples of unacceptable behavior include:

  • Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
  • Public or private harassment
  • Publishing others’ private information, such as a physical or email address, without their explicit permission
  • Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting

Enforcement Responsibilities

Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.

Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, code, discussion board entries, issues, and other contributions that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation decisions, when appropriate.

Scope

This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, at either an online or in-person event.

Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement at zachary.baum.19@ucl.ac.uk. All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
