How AI assists
In the competition edition, image-assisted models can suggest a likely material type, estimate a confidence score, and flag possible contamination — helping the team review faster and more consistently.
These are suggestions, not decisions. A person always confirms the outcome. Low-confidence or contaminated items are routed to human review rather than accepted automatically.
