What's the definition of external data?

Hello,
I was wondering what definition of external data applies, do pretrained models/pretrained embeddings count as external data, or does it only apply to external raw data?

Hi youssef_nader3

Apologies for the late reply here. You can freely use publicly available pre-trained models & embeddings for submission in Blitz XII. But use of external raw data is not allowed. The challenge rule generally prohibits the use of other public/private datasets which you can use to train your model or improve the scores. I hope this helps. Let me know if you still have any doubts :slight_smile:

Best
