Do we need to submit the source code?

[LIP WHITE]

Dear organizers, 

Do we need to submit the source code for the contest, or is it optional to do so?

Thanks a lot!

Dear participants,

you don't need to submit the source code for the contest.

Please note that providing a link to a publicly available source code is one of the requirements, if you want to get the artifacts availability badge. Quoting the challenge's website:

"New this year is the Artifacts Availability Badge which is applicable to the Accuracy Track as well as the Datasets Track.
The goal of this badge is to motivate authors to publish and document their systems, code, and data, so that others can use these artifacts and potentially reproduce or build on the results.
This badge is given if all resources are verified to satisfy the below criteria.

The criteria used to assess submissions (both accuracy and dataset submissions) are:

• Publicly accessible data (if applicable).
• Publicly accessible source code.
• Clear documentation of the code and data.
• Open-source dependencies."

Thank you!

On behalf of the organizers,

Vasilis
