      5.     Developing your methods

      • A sample shallow model implementing a full pipeline (data loading, model forward pass, output format) is available in the [colab code blog].


        6.     Self-evaluating your methods

        • We provide the evaluation metrics for this challenge. A sample usage code is available in the [colab code blog].
        • Please be informed that your method will be evaluated in real-time. This means that when predicting the triplets at time t,  your model can have access to past frames t-1, t-2, t-3, . . . , but it can never see the future frames at t+1, t+2, t+3, ...



        7.     Communication and reporting issues

        • The docker should be designed to map to the input test data, run and produce outputs in the requested format.
        • The submission guideline and model output format are well detailed with example code in the [colab code blog].
        • Guide to building a submission docker is available in the [colab code blog].
