Description

The Continuous Automated Model EvaluatiOn (CAMEO) is a weekly, fully automated blind benchmarking experiment of three-dimensional protein prediction servers.

The www.cameo3d.org website displays the results of the experiment for "public" servers. Registered users participating in the experiment can in addition access to the results of "development" servers.

Liability disclaimer

• The CAMEO service is provided “as is”. In no event shall CAMEO or its developers be liable for any consequential, special, incidental, or indirect damages of any kind arising out of the use of CAMEO or its results.
• CAMEO is not responsible for any problems on your server. This includes overloading the system or any other technical problems.
• CAMEO will publicly display the results of your service in the context of other results and will apply computational tools on the results provided by your server, including, but not limited to, structure and model comparison tools and model quality assessment.
• CAMEO reserves the right to exclude services with continued technical problems, low availability, or format problems.

Terms

• When publishing any results obtained from the CAMEO server, you agree to cite the appropriate references (see the bottom of this page).
• Evaluation of “development” servers is provided exclusively for development purposes. You acknowledge that such results can only be published after marking the complete dataset as “public” on CAMEO.
• You confirm that all predictions provided by your server to CAMEO can be redistributed under the CC BY-SA 4.0 Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License (see below)
• AlphaFold 3 predictions from the AlphaFold3 Manual Baseline Server are made available under the AlphaFold Server Output Terms of Use.
