Q1. Are the hosts going to release a separate test data?

Answer: There will be no separate test data. Evaluation will be made on Leave One Participant Out and Leave One Participant Day Out cross-validation using the released dataset, which you can download from the Data page. The baseline performance is the original FacePsy paper: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3676505. For more information, kindly check the participation and tutorial page.


Q2. Are the timestamps in order?

Answer: All data are chronologically ordered. If participants find indiscrepancies, they can always sort the data. They cannot use future data to predict the past.


Q3. Are the timestamps in the same timezone?

Answer: The sensor data and PHQ9 data are in the same timezone.


Q4. Where can we submit the paper and results?

Answer: You can submit your challenge paper using CMT - Choose “Challenge” as your track and select the specific challenge you are participating in. For the results of your analysis, we will share a separate submission form.


Q5. What is the format for paper submission?
Answer: ABC challenge papers follow the IJABC Journal format as indicated in the main ABC website. Ideally, about 10 pages in journal format, including references. Though IJABC has flexible length, a minimum of 10 pages would be reasonable to explain your approach properly with supporting related work. For the template, kindly check format from https://autocare.ai/abc2025#cfp
