UpdateImpact on Your WorkflowPre-trained weights ✅Any off-the-shelf vision or language backbone may be used.Extra data 🚫Outside training sets are banned to preserve fairness.Debug Phase 🔍Submit a sample run to verify output format before evaluation.Additional servers 📡Three extra mirrors added to ease download congestion.


3. Dataset at a Glance

  • 20,500 WSIs from six centers in Korea, Japan, India, Turkey, and Germany.

  • Slide-level labels + original draft reports.

  • Average file size ≈ 1.2 GB; total > 24 TB.

  • Revised color profiles applied to 300+ slides (see revised_list.csv).

4. Evaluation Focus

  1. Clinical accuracy over BLEU / ROUGE.

  2. Real-world diagnostic value ranked by expert pathologists.

  3. Bonus for concise, well-structured sections (macro / micro findings, impressions).

5. Recommended Workflow

  1. Patch extraction + H&E normalization

  2. ViT-L or SAM-ViT encoder fine-tuned on color-corrected slides

  3. Seq-to-Seq decoder conditioned on slide embeddings + prior draft text

  4. Rule-based medical NER layer to normalise terminology

  5. Continuous evaluation with the provided GitHub script

6. Revised Schedule (KST 10 AM)
