Assessment Metrics







NOTE: Task1 and Task2 will be ranked and awarded separately.


Task 1:  Cancer Segmentation

Evaluation Metrics: Jaccard Index

  • Jaccard Index * HT(Jaccard Index; 0.65) where HT(Jaccard Index; 0.65) = 1
  • if Jaccard Index >= 0.65 and HT(Jaccard Index; 0.65) = 0 otherwise.
  • Missing data will be scored as 0

Rank Computation Method

                1. The mean of Jaccard Index with threshold value 0.65
                2. If tied, the median of Jaccard Index with threshold value 0.65 (tie-breaker)
                3. If tied, the mean of Jaccard Index with threshold value 0.35 (tie-breaker)
                4. If tied, the organizers will subjectively assess the quality of the results.
                • Bootstrapping (resampling) approaches will be used only for award candidates
                • A paired t-test will be used only for award candidates
                • (updated) Submissions with any missing case will not be scored.

                Task 2: Viable Tumor Burden  Estimation

                Evaluation Metrics

                    Each Task1 case score is used as a weight for each Task2 case score.

                      Rank Computation Method

                      1. The mean of Reversed Absolute Errors
                      2. If tied, the median of Reversed Absolute Errors (tie-breaker)
                      3. If tied, the organizers will subjectively assess the quality of the results.
