I contribute to this infrastructure by co-organising international challenges and building open benchmarks that allow fair comparison of methods under identical conditions.</p> <h2 id="mario-challenge--miccai-2024">MARIO Challenge — MICCAI 2024</h2> <p>The <strong>MARIO (Monitoring Age-Related Macular Degeneration Intelligence and Outcomes)</strong> challenge was a satellite event at MICCAI 2024 in Marrakesh. It provided:</p> <ul> <li>A multi-modal longitudinal OCT dataset for AMD progression prediction</li> <li>Standardised train/validation/test splits with held-out labels for fair evaluation</li> <li>Two tracks: binary conversion prediction and interval-to-conversion regression</li> <li>Participation from international teams across 3 continents</li> </ul> <p>Results were presented at the MICCAI 2024 main conference. The challenge data and evaluation server remain publicly available for continued benchmarking.</p>https://youvenz.github.io/projects/mario-challenge/Sun, 01 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000https://youvenz.github.io/projects/mario-challenge/<h2 id="overview">Overview</h2> <p>The <strong>MARIO AMD Progression Challenge</strong> was held at MICCAI 2024 and focused on the automated assessment of <strong>Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD)</strong> progression using deep learning.</p> <p>We are pleased to announce the publication of our comprehensive analysis of the challenge results, and the corresponding dataset is now publicly available for the research community.</p> <h2 id="research-focus">Research Focus</h2> <p>This challenge addressed two key clinical questions:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Progression prediction</strong>: Will a patient&rsquo;s AMD progress over the next 12 months?</li> <li><strong>Visual acuity change</strong>: Will the patient&rsquo;s visual acuity improve, stabilise, or worsen?</li> </ul> <h2 id="dataset">Dataset</h2> <p>The MARIO dataset provides:</p>
