Detect RSNA pneumonia from chest  X-rays

This competition is a binary classification of normal vs pneumonia. You will have to predict the patients are normal or has pneumonia from their chest X-rays.

Video description of the challenge

Background

Among the medical imaging examinations, chest X-rays are the most common. Each year, there are 3.6 billion medical procedures involving ionizing radiation, of which over 2 billion are chest X-rays . Pneumonia is one among the many diseases that chest X-ray can help to detect. Every year in the US, pneumonia causes hospitalization of more than 1 million adults, and kills around 50 000. Detecting pneumonia is a difficult task which requires expertise of radiologists. However, there is always a shortage of radiologists to interpret the X-ray results. Moreover, fatigue due to heavy workload may also deteriorate the diagnostic accuracy of radiologists.
Automatic interpretation of chest X-ray would bring numerous substantial benefits, but it is also a challenging task. Lung opacity may be vague and very similar to minor benign anomalies. Variation in radiation settings may also make an image look more hazy in general.

Task

The challenge was inspired by 2018 RSNA Pneumonia Detection Challenge. Excluding the No lung opacity / Not normal category, we propose a binary classification task of normal vs pneumonia for our participants. Participants should build a model able to learn from the training data and make predictions on unseen data.

Evaluation

This is a binary classification problem. The dataset contain input and labels for training. You have to build a model to label every row of the validation set and the test set with 0(normal) or 1(lung opacity). You need to upload your predictions for validation and test set


The submissions are evaluated by accuracy. We also encourage you to compute other metrics such as precision and recall.

Rules

Submissions must be made before the end of phase 1. You may submit 5 submissions every day and 100 in total.

This challenge is for educational purposes only and no prizes are granted. It is governed by the general ChaLearn contest rules.

Development Phase

Start: Nov. 15, 2018, midnight

Description: Development phase: tune your models and submit prediction results, trained model, or untrained model.

Final Phase

Start: April 30, 2050, midnight

Description: Final phase (no submission, your last submission from the previous phase is automatically forwarded).
