<p>Codabench is a platform allowing you to flexibly specify a benchmark. First you define tasks, e.g. datasets and metrics of success, then you specify the API for submissions of code (algorithms), add some documentation pages, and [CLICK] your benchmark is created, ready to accept submissions of new algorithms. Participant results get appended to an ever-growing leaderboard.</p>
<p>You may also create inverted benchmarks in which the role of datasets and algorithms are swapped. You specify reference algorithms and your participants submit datasets.</p>
<p>Codabench is an <a href="https://github.com/codalab/codabench">open source</a> platform allowing you to organize AI benchmarks. It is flexible and powerful, yet easy to use. You define tasks (e.g. datasets and metrics of success), then interface for submissions of code (algorithms), add some documentation pages,
make an upload and that's it! Your benchmark is created, ready to accept submissions of new algorithms. Everything can be fully customized, including the code of the scoring program. Organizers can even hook up their own compute workers to their benchmarks, enabling unlimited computing power.
Participants can try out their methods, get real-time feedback and results on a competitive leaderboard, detailed plots and more.</p>
<p>In a unique twist, Codabench also allows you to create inverted benchmarks. Here, the roles of datasets and algorithms are interchanged. In this scenario, you set the reference algorithms and the participants contribute datasets.</p>

<p>CodaLab Competitions is a powerful open source framework for running competitions that
involve
result or code submission. You can either participate in an existing competition or host
a new
competition.</p>
<p>Most competitions hosted on Codalab are machine learning (data science)
competitions, but Codalab is NOT limited to this application domain. It can accommodate
any
problem for which a solution can be provided in the form of a zip archive containing a
number of
files to be evaluated quantitatively by a scoring program (provided by the organizers).
The
scoring program must return a numeric score, which is displayed on a leaderboard where
the
performances of participants are compared.</p>

<p>CodaLab was created in 2013 as a joint venture between Microsoft and Stanford University.
Originally the vision was to create an ecosystem for conducting computational research
in a more
efficient, reproducible, and collaborative manner, combining worksheets and
competitions.
Worksheets capture complex research pipelines in a reproducible way and create
"executable
papers". Currently, we are developing the V2 of Codalab, which will be able to organize benchmarks.</p>
in a more efficient, reproducible, and collaborative manner, combining worksheets and
competitions. Worksheets capture complex research pipelines in a reproducible way and create "executable
papers". Codabench is the continuity of CodaLab, a version 2 in which users can organize benchmarks.</p>
<p>Some competitions have been organized using worksheets, but the competition platform
and the worksheet platform have both a large user base and can be used independently. In
2014,
<a class="large_links" href="http://www.chalearn.org/">ChaLearn</a> joined to co-develop
Codalab
competitions. Since
2015, University Paris-Saclay is
community lead of Codalab competitions, under the direction of Isabelle Guyon, professor
of big
data. Codalab is administered by CKCollab and the <a class="large_links"

<p>Since 2016, CodaLab offers the possibility of organizing machine learning challenges with
code submission. The simplest machine learning challenges require only the submission of
results, which are compared to a solution (or key) by a scoring program. Result submission
challenges are less computationally expensive than code submission challenges. However, they offer less
possibilities. In particular, code submission allows conducting fair benchmarks by
executing
submitted code in the same condition for all participants.</p>
<p>Codalab has been providing free resources for challenge organizers who want to run high
impact
events, within a pre-approved agreed upon budget. New since version 1.5: organizers can
hook up
their own compute workers to the backend of Codalab to redirect the code submissions,
enabling
growth to big data competitions running at the expense of the organizers. For very
special
dedicated projects, Codalab can be customized since it is an open source project.</p>
