Hi there,

I’m new to AIcrowd and was just wondering how can we properly add new topics within the Brick by Brick category? When I click on “New topic” under the “Discussion” tab, I’m redirected to the page shown in the screenshot, but it’s not clear to me how to proceed.

I mainly wanted to ask about the submission rules:

1. The rules say that only 5 submissions are allowed/considered per 7 days per task. Does that mean that there are multiple tasks in this challenge, with separate submission workflows?
2. Do failed submissions (e.g. due to errors) count as one of the allowed five?

Thanks for any clarification!

Hi Maghnie,

You can create a new post by going to the Discussion tab and clicking the “New Topic” button. Attached is an image for your reference:

1. The challenge and rules mention that participants can make ten submissions per day. There are no other tracks.

Participants can upload up to ten submissions per day in CSV format. Each submission must adhere strictly to the prescribed format to ensure accurate leaderboard evaluations, reflecting the test set’s real-time performance.

2. Up to 5 failed submissions are allowed every day.

I hope this helps!

Thank you for the quick reply! My questions about the submission rules are now clarified.

As for adding a new topic, I think there may be some access settings missing from my account.
When I hover over the “New topic” button, it should lead to

• https://discourse.aicrowd.com/new-topic?category_id=2917

But it redirects me instead to

• https://discourse.aicrowd.com/c/2917

Not sure what’s going on with the topic creation, but I’m all set for now.

Hi there,

I have seen that the data you provided are pickled files. Is there the possibility to provide the data in a format that is not using pickled files. e.g. CSV, parquet etc. The main reason behind this request it that I do not like to unpickle files from the internet, since this might execute random code on my machine. See the warning box on the official documentation of pickle from python: pickle — Python object serialization — Python 3.13.1 documentation

you can unserialise the pickle files on the cloud and save them to csv if you are worried about the random code execution on your local machine. For eg google collab

Hi there, thanks for hosting this interesting competition!
I have a question about the rounds - what’s the specific purposes for each round?
For example, what will happen after the round#1 deadline?
