Obtaining CinC Challenge 2000 Scores

The new PhysioNet website is available at: https://physionet.org. We welcome your feedback.

Preparing your entry

Your entry needs to be prepared in a special text format, which depends on the event you are entering:

There are also templates for submitting results from the training set (records a01-a20, b01-b05, and c01-c10) for event 1 and event 2, so that you can obtain unofficial scores for these records as well. Awards will be made on the basis of results from the test set (records x01-x35) only.

If you have prepared annotation files in the same format as the *.apn files provided with the training set, you can download this program (in C source form, to be compiled with the WFDB library) that can convert them to the format of either of these templates.

Submitting your entry for scoring

Please double-check your entry before submitting it to be sure it is in plain text format, exactly like the template files. HTML-formatted entries will confuse the automated scorer and will not be scored.

To submit your entry successfully, you will need:

After filling in your e-mail address and password on the entry form [link disabled], enter the name of the file that contains your correctly-formatted entry (you may use the Browse button to find it), indicate which event you wish to enter, which data set you are submitting results for, and click on Upload entry.

(If you wish to enter both events, you may do so, but you will need to submit your entry twice, once in each format, in this case.)

Notes

If you are tempted to try submitting many entries in order to learn about the correct classifications, why not play MasterMind instead? Delivery of your score may be delayed if you submit more than one entry per event per day.

UNIX versions of Netscape, and possibly other browsers, will allow the user to specify a directory name in the File to upload field of the entry form, but the browser will not transmit anything in this case and will hang until the user interrupts it by clicking on Stop. This behavior is a bug in the browser and cannot be detected or avoided by the PhysioNet web server. Other browsers will detect and disallow attempts to upload directories.
