Hi @mike-dd, I have not made a submission to the End Phase 1 of Descriptor Track. Still, I am interested in submitting my extracted features for evaluation in Phase 2 (certainly, out of competition) just to get their performance. Is there any issue with that? Should I do this after the end of Phase2?

Hi @gkordo. Thank you for asking. There is no issue with that. You can submit now. We’ll be running a separate review process after Phase 2 ends to determine prize eligibility, so that’s not a problem.
