   a.Summary Sheet:The summary is an essential part of your MCM/ICM paper and should appear as the first page of your solution report. The judges place considerable weight on the summary, and winning papers are often distinguished from other papers based on the quality of the summary.Click here to download the Microsoft Word Summary SheetorClick here to download the LaTeX Summary Sheet.

   • To write a good summary, imagine that a reader will choose whether to read the body of the paper based on your summary: Your concise presentation in the summary should inspire a reader to learn about the details of your work.

   • You should write the summary last, as it should clearly describe your approach to the problem and, most prominently, your most important conclusions. Ensure you plan time after solving your problem to write a comprehensive and articulate summary.

   • Summaries that are mere restatements of the contest problem, or are a cut-and-paste boilerplate from the Introduction are generally considered to be weak.

   b.Overall:The team's solution should be articulate, concise, and organized in order to allow the reader to easily follow the solution process and conclusions. Key statements should present major ideas and results.

   • A Table of Contents assists the reader in previewing the organization of your report.

   • Present a clarification or restatement of the problem as appropriate.

   • Present a clear exposition of all variables and hypotheses.

   • State and justify reasonable assumptions that bear on the problem.

   • Present an analysis of the problem, motivating or justifying the model being used.

   • Summarize derivations, computa-tions, or illustrative examples in the main body of the solution, and leave lengthy derivations and/or calculations and data in appropriate appendices.

   • Include a design of the model. Discuss how the model could be tested, to include error analysis, sensitivity, and/or stability.

   • Discuss any apparent strengths or weaknesses to your model or approach.

   • Provide a conclusion and report results explicitly.

   • Document resources and references.

During the Contest - Use of Large Language Models and Generative AI Tools in COMAP Contests

This policy is motivated by the rise of large language models (LLMs) and generative AI assisted technologies. The policy aims to provide greater transparency and guidance to teams, advisors, and judges. This policy applies to all aspects of student work, from research and development of models (including code creation) to the written report. Since these emerging technologies are quickly evolving, COMAP will refine this policy as appropriate.

Teams must be open and honest about all their uses of AI tools. The more transparent a team and its submission are, the more likely it is that their work can be fully trusted, appreciated, and correctly used by others. These disclosures aid in understanding the development of intellectual work and in the proper acknowledgement of contributions. Without open and clear citations and references of the role of AI tools, it is more likely that questionable passages and work could be identified as plagiarism and disqualified.

Solving the problemsdoes notrequire the use of AI tools, although their responsible use is permitted. COMAP recognizes the value of LLMs and generative AI as productivity tools that can help teams in preparing their submission; to generate initial ideas for a structure, for example, or when summarizing, paraphrasing, language polishing etc. There are many tasks in model development where human creativity and teamwork is essential, and where a reliance on AI tools introduces risks. Therefore, we advise caution when using these technologies for tasks such as model selection and building, assisting in the creation of code, interpreting data and results of models, and drawing scientific conclusions.

Guidance for teams

Teams are required to:

1. Clearly indicate the use of LLMs or other AI tools in their report,including which model was used and for what purpose. Please use inline citations and the reference section. Also append the Report on Use of AI (described below) after your 25-page solution.
2. Verify the accuracy, validity, and appropriatenessof the content and any citations generated by language models and correct any errors or inconsistencies.
3. Provide citation and references, following guidance provided here. Double-check citations to ensure they are accurate and are properly referenced.
4. Be conscious of the potential for plagiarismsince LLMs may reproduce substantial text from other sources. Check the original sources to be sure you are not plagiarizing someone else's work.

Citation and Referencing Directions

Think carefully about how to document and reference whatever tools the team may choose to use. A variety of style guides are beginning to incorporate policies for the citation and referencing of AI tools. Use inline citations and list all AI tools used in the reference section of your 25-page solution. Whether or not a team chooses to use AI tools,the main solution report is still limited to 25 pages. If a team chooses to utilize AI, following the end of your report, add a new section titledReport on Use of AI. This new section has no page limit and will not be counted as part of the 25-page solution.Click here to download the COMAP AI contest policy with examples.

竞赛期间 - 在 COMAP 竞赛中使用大型语言模型和生成式 AI 工具

这项政策的推动因素是大型语言模型 (LLM) 和生成式人工智能辅助技术的兴起。该政策旨在为团队、顾问和法官提供更大的透明度和指导。该政策适用于学生工作的各个方面，从模型的研究和开发（包括代码创建）到书面报告。由于这些新兴技术正在迅速发展，COMAP 将酌情完善这一政策。

团队必须对人工智能工具的所有使用保持开放和诚实。团队及其提交的内容越透明，他们的工作就越有可能被其他人完全信任、欣赏和正确使用。这些披露有助于理解智力工作的发展并适当承认贡献。如果没有公开、明确地引用和参考人工智能工具的作用，有问题的段落和作品更有可能被认定为抄袭并被取消资格。

解决问题并不需要使用人工智能工具，尽管负责任地使用它们是允许的。COMAP 认识到法学硕士和生成式人工智能作为生产力工具的价值，可以帮助团队准备提交的材料；例如，生成结构的初步想法，或者在总结、释义、语言润色等时。在模型开发的许多任务中，人类的创造力和团队合作至关重要，而对人工智能工具的依赖会带来风险。因此，我们建议在使用这些技术执行模型选择和构建、协助创建代码、解释模型数据和结果以及得出科学结论等任务时务必谨慎。

团队指导

团队必须：

1. 在报告中明确指出法学硕士或其他人工智能工具的使用情况，包括使用哪种模型以及用于什么目的。请使用内联引用和参考部分。还要在 25 页的解决方案之后附上人工智能使用报告（如下所述）。
2. 验证内容以及语言模型生成的任何引用的准确性、有效性和适当性，并纠正任何错误或不一致。
3. 按照此处提供的指导提供引文和参考文献。仔细检查引文以确保它们准确且引用正确。
4. 意识到剽窃的可能性，因为法学硕士可能会从其他来源复制大量文本。检查原始来源以确保您没有抄袭他人的作品。

引文和参考方向

仔细考虑如何记录和引用团队可能选择使用的任何工具。各种风格指南开始纳入人工智能工具的引用和参考政策。使用内联引用并列出 25 页解决方案的参考部分中使用的所有 AI 工具。无论团队是否选择使用AI工具，主要解决方案报告仍然限于25页。如果团队选择利用人工智能，请在报告结束后添加一个标题为“人工智能使用报告”的新部分。这个新部分没有页数限制，不会计入 25 页解决方案的一部分。单击此处下载 COMAP AI 竞赛政策及示例。

During the Contest - Preparing a Solution Document

1. MCM/ICM solutions are judged as varying degrees of successfully completing the contest (from Successful Participant up to Outstanding). There is no passing or cut-off score, and therefore, partial solutions are acceptable and teams are encouraged to complete as much of the problem as they are able to do. MCM/ICM judges are primarily interested in the team's thought processes, analysis of the problem, modeling approaches, and mathematical methods.
2. Teams must submit their entire solution in oneAdobe PDFelectronic file, consisting of written text, figures, charts, and supporting materials. Papers must be typed in English, with a readable font of at least 12-point type. Do not send additional non solution files such as data or computer programs.
3. Each page of the solution must contain the team control number and the page number at the top of the page. Use a page header on each page - for example:Team # 2400000, Page 6 of 25.
4. Your solution report should start with the Summary Sheet followed by the team's solution.Ensure your solution meets the 25 page limit requirement.A Table of Contents is encouraged and does count toward the page limit. Reference list (or Bibliography), notes pages, and any appendices now count toward the page limit and should be included after the solution pages.
5. Clearly indicate the use of LLMs or other AI tools in your report, including which model was used and for what purpose. Please use inline citations and the reference section. Also append theReport on Use of AI(described here)after your 25-page solution. This new section has no page limit and will not be counted as part of the 25-page solution.
6. Names of the students, advisor, and/or institutionmust notappear on any page of the solution. The solution filemust notcontain any identifying information other than the team Control Number.
