Be a part of the RibFrac Challenge workshop¶

As challenge organizers, we will invite top 3 teams for detection and classification task (up to 6 teams in total), to present their method and results at the challenge workshop. Teams with interesting solution could also be invited. The workshop will be hold on October 4, 2020 as an official satellite event of MICCAI 2020. These teams will be offered partial expense to attend the satellite events, which is a good opportunity to showcase your work to the public.

Participants in this competition are not required to attend the workshop. However, only teams that are attending the workshop will be considered for presenting their work. 

Contribute to a challenge review paper¶

Top teams will be invited to contribute to a challenge review paper, which could be potentially accepted by a top medical image journal. Up to 10 teams will be invited  to submit a 4-page brief solution (following Springer LNCS format, i.e.,  the same format as MICCAI submissions), 2 members per team could be qualified as authors for the challenge review paper. If a public dataset is used in any form (including pretraining, domain adaption), it should be clearly stated in the solution. Besides, if the participants use fully automatic algorithms to generative auxillary labels,  it should also be clearly stated in the submitted solution. Please note that any manual labeling on training, validation or test set is strictly forbidden.

Top-3 teams for each task are required to submit the 4-page solution. If a team ranks top 3 in both detection and classification tasks, up to 3 authors could be included in the challenge review paper, as performance of the two tasks are correlated, 

The organizers reserve the right to identify the "top" teams to be invited, whch depends on leaderboard ranks (mainly), technical contributions of the solution, and numbers of participants in each task. We will send invitation to the top teams for team information, solution paper, and potential solution presentation on the challenge.

The RibFrac challenge is a research effort of thousands of hours by experienced radiologists, computer scientists and engineers. We kindly ask you to respect our effort by appropriate citation and keeping data license.
