Description

The Continuous Automated Model EvaluatiOn (CAMEO) hosts curated benchmarks of structure prediction methods, and scores the predictions that participants upload automatically.

The www.cameo3d.org website displays the results of "public" runs. Registered users can in addition access the results of their own "private" runs.

Liability disclaimer

  1. 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.
  2. CAMEO will publicly display the results of your public runs in the context of other results and will apply computational tools on the predictions you upload, including, but not limited to, structure and model comparison tools and model quality assessment.
  3. CAMEO reserves the right to exclude runs or uploads with technical or format problems.

Terms

  1. When publishing any results obtained from CAMEO, you agree to cite the appropriate references (see the bottom of this page).
  2. AlphaFold 3 models are subject to the AlphaFold 3 output terms of use.
  3. Evaluation of “private” runs is provided exclusively for development purposes. You acknowledge that such results can only be published after the run has been made “public” on CAMEO.
  4. You confirm that all predictions you upload to CAMEO can be redistributed under the CC BY-SA 4.0 Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License (see below)

Copyright

  1. Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use. When you publish, patent or distribute results that were fully or partially based on models obtained from CAMEO, please cite the corresponding papers (see below).
  2. ShareAlike — If you remix, transform, or build upon the material, you must distribute your contributions under the same license as the original.
  3. No additional restrictions — you may not apply legal terms or technological measures that legally restrict others from doing anything the license permits.

Privacy Notice

This website uses Matomo, an open-source software tool, to compile access statistics and to analyse general usage behaviour on the website. This information is used to compile aggregated and anonymous statistics in order to improve our services and to enhance user’s experience. Matomo runs exclusively on servers managed by SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics and no personal data is transmitted to Matomo or any other third party.

By default, Matomo is configured in such a way so that no personal data is collected. For example, when you visit our website, we may collect some data on your browsing experience such as your masked IP address (anonymized by removing the last two bytes), the web page you visited, when you visited and the website page you were redirected from.

The analytical reports generated by Matomo are only accessible by authorized SIB employees or members, or by duly authorized external consultants, who may be required to analyse, develop and/or regularly maintain certain sites. You can adjust your browser settings to disable cookies. This might, however, mean that you are not able to use all of the website’s functions.
