TIA Triumphs at PUMA Grand Challenge

We are excited to share that our team “TIAKong” secured leading positions in the recent PUMALink opens in a new window (Panoptic segmentation of nuclei and tissue in advanced Melanoma) Challenge, organized by the Department of Medical Oncology, University Medical Center Utrecht, in the Netherlands. With over 300 participants from around the globe, this challenge aimed to advance automated panoptic segmentation techniques for H&E-stained melanoma tissue images.

 

Led by our PhD students Jiaqi Lv and YiJie Zhu, and supported by Brinder Singh Chohan, Shan E Ahmed Raza, with an external collaborator Carmen Guadalupe Colin Tenorio from the Medical University of Vienna. TIAKong achieved first place in Track 1 and second place in Track 2. This outstanding performance underscores the team’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of medical imaging and improving our understanding of advanced melanoma.

 

We look forward to building on these results and sharing further developments of our panoptic segmentation model in the near future.
