Contest Rules
Please submit your challenges in an archive (*.zip) file to
casmi2013@massbank.jp
CASMI related formatting is excluded from the "automation" requirements. The example submission, Challenge0, includes some results and the corresponding Metadata. Please model your submissions on this example.
Category 1: Best Molecular Formula
Based on the MS (if available) and tandem MS (MS/MS) data, the goal is to determine the correct molecular formula using the spectral data and the additional information provided.Category 2: Best Structure Identification
Based on the MS (if available) and tandem MS (MS/MS) data, the goal is to determine the correct molecular structure using the spectral data and the additional information provided. The additional information includes sample background, experimental factors and retention information in some cases. Whether you use this information or not is up to you!Challenge Submission format
A plain text, tab separated file with at least two columns should be submitted for each challenge and category you wish to enter. Depending on the category for which the file applies, the first column should either contain the molecular formula or the representation of structure as the (standard) InChI or the SMILES code. The neutral compound (i.e., not the ions or adducts) should be reported. The second column should contain the score, which should be non-negative with a higher score representing a better candidate for the evaluation script to work properly. Any further information can be contained in additional columns (but will be ignored). Please do not include headers or row names. The file name should be in the format <participant>-<category>-<challenge>.txt, see here for an example from last year's submissions.Metadata Submission format
For each participant and category, one metadata file should be submitted containing the "bibliographic" information and description of the submission. All contributions have to follow the principles of reproducible research and need to accurately describe how the results were achieved. Please indicate whether you used automated or manual methods for your submissions in the submission metadata file, see below for details. These will be considered separately!CASMI related formatting is excluded from the "automation" requirements. The example submission, Challenge0, includes some results and the corresponding Metadata.
