 We implemented example algorithms in [MATLAB](https://github.com/physionetchallenges/matlab-example-2024) and [Python](https://github.com/physionetchallenges/python-example-2024). Other implementation languages will be considered upon request. The code repositories contain details for the examples and other helpful scripts and functions. These examples were not designed to perform well but to provide minimal working examples of how to work with the data for the Challenge task.
 
+Given the computational complexity of generating and training on large numbers of synthetic ECG images, we are asking you to submit your complete code base, including your training code, along with a pre-trained model. We will run your training code on a small subset of the training set to check it for errors, but we will score your pre-trained model on the validation set. At the end of the Challenge, we will re-run your training code on the full training set and score the resulting model on the test set.
