The MICCAI Hackathon comprises a mix of senior and young researchers in the Machine Learning and Medical Image Analysis field. Wilson Silva is the MICCAI Hackathon Chair for this edition. Wilson is about to finish his PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Porto and INESC TEC. He just recently started as a Postdoctoral Fellow at The Netherlands Cancer Institute. His research interests lie mainly in Explainable AI and its applications in Radiology.

The MICCAI Hackathon (https://miccai-hackathon.com/) is an opportunity to exchange, discuss, reflect, and possibly come up with ideas and suggestions on how our community could bridge the gap to the clinics and move MICCAI (Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention) methods towards clinical application. Above all, the aim is to have fun and to exchange with other people in the community. The 2022 Edition will happen on two disjoint dates:

1) A virtual hackathon weekend on September 3-4, 2022

2) A meeting on September 18, 2022, as a virtual satellite event at the MICCAI Conference 

During the virtual hackathon weekend, participants will work on tasks related to the motto “How can we bridge the gap to the clinics and move MICCAI methods towards clinical application?” and shortly present their outcomes at the end of the hackathon. The best teams will present their contributions at the meeting on September 18, 2022, at the MICCAI conference. The top three contributions will be awarded Amazon vouchers valued 800 USD in total!

Tasks and Mentors (virtual hackathon weekend on September 3-4, 2022): 

-Task 1: “Domain Shifts Between Clinical Annotators” mentored by Mara Graziani and Henning Müller

-Task 2: “Unsupervised Target Structure Localizations” mentored by Daniel Erpenbeck

-Task 3: “Integrated Diagnostics” mentored by Zuhir Bodalal, Stefano Trebeschi, and Sean Benson

-Task 4: “Associations Between Clinical Semantics and Deep Features” mentored by Francisco Silva, Tânia Pereira, and Hélder Oliveira

-Task 5: “Time-Series Quality Control of Medical Device Manufacturing” mentored by Elias Rüfenacht 

Keynote Speakers (virtual satellite event at the MICCAI conference on September 18, 2022):

-Dr. Po-Hsuan Cameron Chen (Google Health, USA) will discuss the task of designing a reference standard based on subjective interpretation using examples of machine learning in healthcare research at Google
-Prof. Dr. Wiro Niessen (Erasmus MC, The Netherlands) will show the opportunities and challenges of big data analytics with AI techniques in health and discuss the challenges of successfully integrating these technologies in daily clinical workflow
