• Abstract summary: We designed a survey to shed light on the status quo of algorithm development in the specific field of biomedical imaging analysis. The survey covered participants' expertise and working environments, their chosen strategies, as well as algorithm characteristics. Overall, 94% of all solutions were deep learning-based. Of these, 84% were based on standard architectures.

• Abstract: The number of international benchmarking competitions is steadily increasing in various fields of machine learning (ML) research and practice. So far, however, little is known about the common practice as well as bottlenecks faced by the community in tackling the research questions posed. To shed light on the status quo of algorithm development in the specific field of biomedical imaging analysis, we designed an international survey that was issued to all participants of challenges conducted in conjunction with the IEEE ISBI 2021 and MICCAI 2021 conferences (80 competitions in total). The survey covered participants' expertise and working environments, their chosen strategies, as well as algorithm characteristics. A median of 72% challenge participants took part in the survey. According to our results, knowledge exchange was the primary incentive (70%) for participation, while the reception of prize money played only a minor role (16%). While a median of 80 working hours was spent on method development, a large portion of participants stated that they did not have enough time for method development (32%). 25% perceived the infrastructure to be a bottleneck. Overall, 94% of all solutions were deep learning-based. Of these, 84% were based on standard architectures. 43% of the respondents reported that the data samples (e.g., images) were too large to be processed at once. This was most commonly addressed by patch-based training (69%), downsampling (37%), and solving 3D analysis tasks as a series of 2D tasks. K-fold cross-validation on the training set was performed by only 37% of the participants and only 50% of the participants performed ensembling based on multiple identical models (61%) or heterogeneous models (39%). 48% of the respondents applied postprocessing steps.

  The aim of this study is to build a deep learning method exploring sparse annotations, namely only a single 2D slice label for each 3D training MR image. A collaborative learning method by integrating the strengths of semi-supervised and self-supervised learning schemes was developed. The proposed method achieved a substantial improvement in segmentation accuracy, increasing the mean B-IoU significantly by more than 10.0% for prostate segmentation.

  We investigate the behavior of deep representations in widely used CNN models under extreme data scarcity for One-Shot periocular recognition. We improved state-of-the-art results that made use of networks trained with biometric datasets with millions of images. Traditional algorithms like SIFT can outperform CNNs in situations with limited data.

  We performed a multi-center study with all 80 competitions that were conducted in the scope of IEEE I SBI 2021 and MICCAI 2021. Winning solutions typically include the use of multi-task learning (63%), and/or multi-stage pipelines (61%), and a focus on augmentation (100%), image preprocessing (97%), data curation (79%), and postprocessing (66%) Two core general development strategies stood out for highly-ranked teams: the reflection of the metrics in the method design and the focus on analyzing and handling failure cases.

  The goal of the competition was to promote research towards agents that use learning from human feedback (LfHF) techniques to solve open-world tasks. Rather than mandating the use of LfHF techniques, we described four tasks in natural language to be accomplished in the video game Minecraft. Teams developed a diverse range of LfHF algorithms across a variety of possible human feedback types.

• Lung-Originated Tumor Segmentation from Computed Tomography Scan (LOTUS) Benchmark [48.30502612686276]
  Lung cancer is one of the deadliest cancers, and its effective diagnosis and treatment depend on the accurate delineation of the tumor. Human-centered segmentation, which is currently the most common approach, is subject to inter-observer variability. The 2018 VIP Cup started with a global engagement from 42 countries to access the competition data. In a nutshell, all the algorithms proposed during the competition, are based on deep learning models combined with a false positive reduction technique.

  "MIcro-Surgical Anastomose recognition on training sessions" (MISAW) challenge provided a data set of 27 sequences of micro-surgical anastomosis on artificial blood vessels. This data set was composed of videos, kinematics, and workflow annotations described at three different granularity levels: phase, step, and activity. The best models achieved more than 95% AD-Accuracy for phase recognition, 80% for step recognition, 60% for activity recognition, and 75% for all granularity levels.

  We hosted OpenKBP, a 2020 AAPM Grand Challenge, and challenged participants to develop the best method for predicting the dose of contoured CT images. The models were evaluated according to two separate scores: (1) dose score, which evaluates the full 3D dose distributions, and (2) dose-volume histogram (DVH) score, which evaluates a set DVH metrics. The Challenge attracted 195 participants from 28 countries, and 73 of those participants formed 44 teams in the validation phase, which received a total of 1750 submissions.
