## Evaluation

The AIML GC is a high-prep GC with a total of 100 points. ( 70 Normal points + 15 Bonus points + 10 Additional Bonus + 5 Publicity )

### Evaluation of Individual Score Each Participating team

- The platform for the championship is Kaggle. There is only 1 final submission per team.
- Predicted responses are scored using a normalized multi-class accuracy metric (balanced across categories). Tied positions will be broken using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) metric.
- **Other Metrics:** Participants will be ranked based only on the multiclass accuracy metric. However, for scientific completeness, predicted responses will also have the following metrics computed (comparing prediction vs. ground truth) for each image:
  - sensitivity
  - specificity
  - accuracy
  - area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC)
  - mean average precision

The participants can submit their code for the challenges anytime between 11:59 PM on 6th March to 11:59 PM on 16th February 2024.  
If some participant is found to be of a username which was not already filled using the registration form, that participant’s score would be discarded.

## Grading Scheme for Overall Hostel Points

- Normal points- On the basis of multi-class accuracy metric, each team from each hostel will be graded some  X (between 0 and 10 points) points. Let’s say a particular hostel participated with 3 teams, the normal points A= 7\* ((X1+ X2+ X3)/3), basically 7 times average of value X for all teams from that hostel.
- Hostels will be allotted  B= 15 bonus points if value A for that hostel is greater than average A value among all hostels. For eg. If the average value of A among all hostels comes up to be 45, a hostel will be allotted 15 extra points if their A value is higher than 45.
- Additional Bonus  C= 10 points will be allotted to the hostels from which all the teams calculated the “Other metrics” mentioned in the previous section, this would also be based on the presentation which would be conducted by the professors and WnCC organizing team.

Extra publicity marks C = 5 will be awarded to every hostel that fulfill both of the following points with proof mailed to us via the mailing thread latest by 06 March, 11:59 PM:
- The poster for the GC along with a WhatsApp message attaching the GC rulebook and registration link should be publicized in at least one hostel WhatsApp group.
- A mail should be sent to all the hostel residents via the GSec/Tech Co Webmail ID/ regarding the GC with the poster, rulebook and registration link for the GC attached. 

The total score will be calculated as T=A+B+C. The hostel will be ranked according to their T-values.

*Note: If  individuals from the same hostel are found to be colluding in order to increase their score, the plagiarism detector on Kaggle will figure it out and in such a case, ITC reserves the right to disqualify the Hostel from AI/ML GC 2024. Hence, participants are advised to act responsibly.

## Point System

If two or more hostels are tied for a position, both of them will be awarded the position points, and the next position removed. Example: A tie for the first position will result in both getting the points corresponding to the first position, and the next hostel will receive the points corresponding to the third position.
