Hello,
Although the Swift Student Challenge for 2025 has not yet been announced and is not officially taking place, I have a question regarding last year’s rules in the Swift Student Challenge. This is, of course, assuming the rules will be similar if the challenge runs again next year.
I am interested in utilizing CreateML to design a text classifier model. Given the substantial amount of data required for machine learning, am I allowed to outsource data from open-source libraries and/or social media platforms, provided that these resources abide by their terms of service? My primary concern is if I must create my own data as that will be time-consuming and more biased.
Thank you, Jesse
Questions like this are hard to answer because they require interpretation of English. As a technical person, I’m only qualified to interpret code (-:

Yes. And that there will even be a 2025 challenge! (-:
However, I think that it’s reasonable for you to look at this year’s rule and then adapt to change if necessary. And the closest thing that I can see that covers your question is:
You may include third-party open source licensed code and/or public domain images and sounds, with credit and an explanation of why it was used.
Share and Enjoy
