12:00 – Final Results, Awards and Closing Session

Participants are provided with labelled normal training signals from three sensor domains: vibration, heartbeat and temperature. The objective of this study is to ascertain the standard behaviour exhibited by each signal type. During the evaluation process, the model is exposed to unseen signal segments that may be classified as normal or anomalous. For each segment, participants are required to predict both the signal type and whether the segment is normal or anomalous.

The training dataset will be available for download here:
Download Training-Data

The test dataset will be available for download here from 16:00:
Download Test-Data

Each team must submit one ZIP file containing the complete project folder.

The submission should include all essential files required to understand, train, and test the developed solution, for example:

• source code
• scripts or notebooks
• model files, if applicable
• short instructions for running the solution
• information about the achieved accuracy on the provided test data

The ZIP file must be uploaded to a cloud storage service chosen by the team. The download link, including the achieved accuracy, must be sent by email to:
