Some Clarifications

Dear Participant,

We hope you are enjoying building the solution for the problem. As we have received some concerns from the community, here are some clarifications:

1. Fresher Only result will be for those teams that constitute entirely of IIT Delhi Fresher students and for IIT Delhi fresher individual participants. However, everyone is free to choose their teammates.

2. The aim of setting the problem is to encourage original thinking, experimenting and creativity of the participants. Although you are free to use external dependencies/datasets/models, we strongly discourage this and we will manually check the top few solutions where we may penalize the submission if too much external dependencies are found.

3. By "external dependency" in the previous point, we mean all models, library functions, datasets which will lead to direct solution of the problem, or will substantially reduce its complexity (for example: OCR and/or Object Recognition with some libraries/packages, Pre-trained Digit Classifiers etc). [Note: Some libraries have these functionalities alongside other simple functionalities and using such a library for simple functionalities will not be counted as an external dependency.]

If you have any questions about the hackathon, please post on the Discord Hackathon-Discussion channel and keep following the Announcement channel for further updates.

All the best!

Regards,

Team AIMLC
