I am a newcomer to the Zindi platform, and we are not allowed to use any external data in the competitions, right?

@guoqin_gu, welcome to Zindi. You should always refer to the rules of the competition. Also refer to the Data section of the challenge. Most challenges don't require you to make use of external data. Whenever external sources are allowed, this is clearly stated.

Thanks, AJoel. According to the competition rules, it states: "You may use only the datasets provided for this challenge." Just to confirm, does this mean we are not allowed to use any external data?

I think "only" refers to their given data and "may" refers to it is upto us how much of it we will use
