Abstract decisions, conference attendance, and wild-card entries

[PhysioNet Challenge]

Dear Challengers,

Computing in Cardiology has released the abstract decisions for CinC 2025. Congratulations to all of the Challenge teams with accepted abstracts! If you submitted an abstract but have not received an email notifying you of the decision, then please respond to this message directly with your Submission ID and team name.

CinC 2025 requires both oral and poster presenters to present their work in person. We hope to see as many of you at the conference as possible, but we also recognize that some participants may be unable to attend in person. Therefore, authors with accepted abstracts for the Challenge track who attend the conference remotely will be allowed to publish in the conference proceedings. (This does not apply to abstracts submitted to other tracks.) These papers will be subject to the same review and deadlines as all of the conference proceedings papers for the Challenge. Only in-person attendees are eligible for prizes, but both in-person presenters and remote attendees are eligible for rankings.

If you submitted an abstract but it was not accepted, or if you did not submit an abstract, then we will again invite a small number of high-scoring teams from the official phase to submit an abstract so that they can publish their work in the conference proceedings and be eligible for rankings and prizes. Please see the Challenge webpage for more information; the wild card deadline is July 31, 2025:

Congratulations again to the teams, best wishes for the official phase, and hope to see many of you in Brazil in a few short months.

​​Best,
Matt
(On behalf of the Challenge team.)

Dear Matt,
I hope this message finds you well.
I have received the information regarding the abstract decisions for CinC 2025 and wanted to inquire about how the poster presentation will work if one opts for the remote option. Are there specific requirements or procedures we need to be aware of?
Thank you in advance for your assistance!
Best regards,
Pinar

Dear Pinar,

CinC requires both oral and poster presenters to present their work in person this year. Remote attendees can participate in the conference remotely on Whova, which CinC has used for the past two years, but they will not be able to present their work remotely.

We hope to see as many teams at the conference as possible, but we also recognize that some may be unable to attend in person, so remote attendees for the Challenge track of the conference will still be allowed to publish their work in the conference proceedings, subject to the same review process that we use for all Challenge papers in the conference.

​​Best,
Matt

Dear Matt, 

We recently submitted our models by the July 31st deadline, aiming for a wild card since our original abstract was not accepted. 

May I ask what the approximate cut-off score for wild card consideration might be?

Thank you for hosting and managing exciting challenges every year. 

Best regards,

ilyoup

Dear Ilyoup,

We choose the wild card entries based on the top-scoring eligible submissions on the leaderboard which were submitted before 8 PM EDT on July 31. So there isn’t a score cutoff, exactly—there’s a cutoff in terms of team rank among eligible entries.

Best,

James
