@yrquni : Yes, you can crawl pictures of the query and product as information and use it during your local training. However that is not allowed during the inference (your submitted code will not have access to the internet as well).

Hi! @mohanty
We can’t Upload product data that extends the image dimension and used for inference?

@LYZD-fintech : Yes you can add more information about the products in your submission. But please note that the product_catalogue for the private test set might vary from the publicly released product_catalogue. We also, re assert that the during the evaluations your submissions will not have access to any external network connections, so you will not be able to crawl on the fly.

@mohanty What does this mean? Does it means some new product_ids will be add in private test datatset? Or just the distribution of the public and the private dataset are different?

Because it was not clearly stated at the beginning that pictures and other external information can be used, it is unfair for some contestants to use pictures during the inference. It is strongly recommended to disrupt the product_id of each product in the product_catalogue to promote fairness
