The competition begins on 1st March 2010 with final solutions to be uploaded no later than 12am (GMT) on 20th June 2010. By this date you should submit your best solutions for all released datasets.
Three sets of Datasets will be used for each track. These are classified as Initial, Late and Hidden. Initial datasets are currently available for each track. Please log in here.
The Late datasets will be made available two weeks prior to the end of the Competition on 15th May 2010. A number of datasets will be kept aside in order to test the best performing algorithms. These are the Hidden datasets and will be released to the community at a later stage once the competition ends. Please read the general rules carefully along with specific rules associated with the track(s) you are entering.
As the adjudication has two phases i.e. finalists and winners, competitors will be informed if they have made it through to the final by 30 June 2010.
The overall orderings and winners of each track will be announced at PATAT 2010. It is intended that an overview of the techniques submitted will be presented in Belfast.
