@nader_nkfrancis @boal_matthew @DanStoyanov @emazomenos @dimi_anastasiou @4urology @acesridhar @WEISS_UCL @ucl Congratulations!
Are you planning to release the skill and error annotations for the SAR-RARP50 data?

[David K Smith @professor_dave]

So she was first author on his key paper - in fact she's on most of his key papers, yet she didn't get the Nobel Prize, in spite of the fact they could have given 3 awards, not just 2. Explain to me how STEM is not institutionally sexist.

Let's applaude @DominikRivoir for his efforts to protect us from BatchNorm-related pitfalls in #SurgicalDataScience applications 👏

New paper out at Medical Image Analysis!

Using only CNN-LSTMs, we beat SOTA on 3 surgical video tasks, outperforming Transformers.

What did we do?

Turns out, the key components are simply:
- end-to-end training
- a backbone without BatchNorm!

Good reminder that the publishers MDPI and Frontiers use predatory practices. We are not sending our research to them. #predatory #journals

@AGranadosEu Looks super interesting :) Could you share a link to the paper?

Read the paper to learn
- How many different ways there are to compute the F1 score
- How metrics are implemented with "relaxed boundaries" and why this actually does not do what it should
- How recent methods compare to each other

Are you working on surgical phase recognition?
Our report on evaluation metrics for phase recognition could be interesting for you! (1/2)
