Test set submission and extended submission deadline - 26th of August

Dear challenge participants,

Please excuse the wait for further details on how to submit registered test set landmarks. You can submit registered test set landmarks starting later today or tomorow here: https://acrobat.grand-challenge.org/evaluation/challenge-test/submissions/create/

Submissions follow the same format as validation set submissions. We will select the last test set submission before the submission deadline as the final submission for each team.

To be ranked in the test set leaderboard, it is required that there is at least a short openly accessible description of your algorithm. A short 1-2 page description on a preprint server such as arxiv.org or even Github if accompanied by code will suffice. If there is already a publication on your algorithm, linking this publication will of course be sufficient.

Please remember that if you publish code alongside your submission, you will be eligible for further prizes. We would be excited if the ACROBAT challenge can broaden the range of open source WSI registration solutions.

Since it looks like the number of submissions will be around 10, we would like to invite everyone who participated in the challenge and submits test set solutions to present their algorithm at the challenge workshop and contribute to the publication of the challenge findings in a scientific journal, rather than limiting this to the top 10 contributions. Please note that participation in the workshop requires registration to MICCAI (in-person or virtual attendance) and we unfortunately have no means to waver registration fees for presenters. The early-bird registration deadline ends today on the 11th of August, so it makes sense to register today if you plan to attend! Attendance of the workshop is not required to be ranked in the test set leaderboard or to contribute to the publication, but of course highly encouraged to discuss the current state of the art in WSI registration.

We would also like to announce that we will extend the submission deadline for test set landmarks until the 26th of August, which is also the deadline to provide a description of your algorithm and optionally a link to the code for your algorithm.

So in summary, please submit the following until the 26th of August: 1. Registered landmarks through the test set submission site. 2. A link to the description of your algorithm. Please comment this link into this announcement thread. 3. Optionally a link to a GitHub or comparable open repository that contains your algorithm code. Please comment this link alongside the link to your algorithm description into this thread. 4. If possible, include in your response in this thread if you or someone from your team can attend the workshop to present your algorithm.

Best wishes and looking forward to your submissions and the workshop! Philippe Weitz, Masi Valkonen, Leslie Solorzano

Hi,

The test and validation submission boxes are closed. If the deadline is the 26th of August, Can you open it, please?

Github link: https://github.com/mahtabfarrokh/ACROBAT-2022 The readme file has info about the algorithm.

Thanks, Mahtab

Dear organizers, as a member of the group NEMESIS, I am attaching the github link where you can find the: - The code of our algorithm - The algorithm description

The link is: https://github.com/MIAGroupUT/NEMESIS

The team member Jelmer Wolterink is going to attend the MICCAI 2022 workshop in person.

Best regards, Bruno De Santi

Hi, The link to the description and codes of our team (AHUAMAO) is : https://github.com/shuishenghualalala/ACROBAT_submit/ Best wishes, AHUAMAO

Moin,

I updated the descibtion to include some limitations and feedback from the workshop.

Please find the updated file at: GitHub

With kind regards, Christian

Hi,

I just uploaded our method description here:

https://histoapp.pages.fraunhofer.de/about/2022-08-26-method_description_acrobat_challenge.pdf

Is this sufficient or should I upload it to arXiv/GitHub as well (tried it at arXiv, but having some problem compiling it on their side...)?

I will be attenting the workshop at MICCAI in Singapore, looking forward to see you there!

Best, Johannes

Thanks to everyone who submitted registered test set landmarks and algorithm descriptions so far! All submissions so far are sufficient and will be considered (including the algorithm description by @jlotz).

Best wishes Philippe Weitz, Leslie Solorzano, Masi Valkonen

Hello,

Please find the GitHub link to the method description and the source code:

Source Code Short Method Description

The source code will be uploaded there later today (we still need a bit of time to create a minimal working example).

I will attend the workshop in Singapore in person. Hope to see you all there!

Bests, Marek

Edit. We uploaded the minimal working example to reproduce the results and the final test set submission.

Hello,

A description of the alogrithm I used, VALIS, can be found on Read The Docs (there is a preprint linked on the page, but it is a bit out of date). The code used to conduct the actual registrations for this challenge, which involved a custom image processor and mask generation, is also on GitHub. I wish I could attend the workshop, but will unfortunately be traveling at the time. Thank you again for putting this challenge together.

Best, -Chandler

Hello,

Here's a link to our method description. (We already sent this to the organizers via e-mail before the deadline) https://arxiv.org/abs/2208.12635
