| 1 | +# Baseline Submissions |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +A **Baseline Submission** is a special submission created by a Challenge Host that acts as a reference point on the leaderboard. |
| 4 | +Until a submission is marked as a baseline, it does not appear on the leaderboard for participants to compare their submissions. |
| 5 | + |

| 7 | + |
| 8 | +## Why Set a Baseline? |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +- Helps participants understand the minimum standard they should surpass. |
| 11 | +- Provides an official benchmark for participants to improve upon. |
| 12 | +- Makes the leaderboard informative and engaging by showing a reference performance. |

| 16 | +## How to Make a Submission Baseline |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +Follow these steps to create, upload and mark a submission Baseline in EvalAI: |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +### Step 1: Prepare Your Baseline Submission |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +- Develop a solution or model that represents a reasonable starting point or minimal benchmark for the challenge. |
| 23 | +- Ensure your submission complies with the challenge’s submission format and requirements (e.g., correct output files, file format, metadata). |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +### Step 2: Submit the Baseline |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +- Log in to EvalAI as the Challenge Host. |
| 28 | +- Navigate to the **Challenge Dashboard** and select your challenge. |
| 29 | +- Go to the **Submit** tab. |
| 30 | +- Upload your baseline submission just like a regular participant submission. |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +### Step 3: Open the My Submissions Tab |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +- After the submission is uploaded, go to the **My Submissions** tab of your challenge. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +### Step 4: Locate the Submission |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +- Find the submission you just uploaded and want to mark as baseline. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +### Step 5: Mark the Submission as Baseline |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +- Once the submission has passed the evaluation successfully, click the checkbox in the **Baseline** column next to the submission entry, . |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +### Step 6: Confirm Baseline Display |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +- The baseline submission will now appear on the leaderboard with a "B" badge indicating a Basline submission. |
| 47 | +- Participants will see this baseline as a reference when viewing the leaderboard. |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +--- |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +## Managing Baseline Submissions |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +- You can have multiple baseline submissions if your challenge requires benchmarks for different metrics or tasks. |
| 54 | +- Only Challenge Hosts have permission to mark or unmark submissions as baselines. |
| 55 | +- If needed, you can unmark or replace a baseline submission at any time by following the same steps and unchecking previous submission's **Baseline** checkbox and marking a new submission as baseline to update it. |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +--- |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +### Note: |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +- Choose a baseline that is meaningful and encourages participants to improve. |
| 62 | +- Update baseline submissions periodically if better baseline models become available. |
| 63 | +- Communicate clearly to participants what the baseline represents in the challenge overview or description. |
