Hugging Face released the paper related to the 2026 PNPL (Non-Invasive Speech Decoding) competition on September 7, 2026. The competition aims to improve word classification performance and achieve efficient generalization across subjects, consisting of two complementary parts: the depth challenge uses data from approximately 80 hours per subject for optimization of decoding; the breadth challenge involves progressively reduced subject-specific data and generalization tests with all-zero samples. The competition is open worldwide, with a deadline of October 15, 2026, and a prize of $5,000. The organizers have made the LibriBrain100 dataset, reference models, PyTorch data loader (`pip install pnpl`), Colab tutorials, and real-time leaderboards available, allowing participants without a background in neuroscience to participate.
