BIAS: Transparent reporting of biomedical image analysis challenges

Understand

The number of biomedical image analysis challenges organized per year is steadily increasing.

• These international competitions have the purpose of benchmarking algorithms on common data sets, typically to identify the best method for a given problem.
• Recent research, however, revealed that common practice related to challenge reporting does not allow for adequate interpretation and reproducibility of results.
• To address the discrepancy between the impact of challenges and the quality (control), the Biomedical I mage Analysis ChallengeS (BIAS) initiative developed a set of recommendations for the reporting of challenges.
