One record on Zenodo

📅 24 December 2021

A new version of the train set on Zenodo has been published here. Before, there were two separate records for storage space limits, which have now been increased. The second record is now deprecated.


Additional training data update

📅 20 December 2021

We have just made a change in the rules of the challenge regarding the use of additional training data. We first stated that the use of additional training data is not allowed. We have now decided that only the use of additional fundus image data (including weights pretrained on fundus image data) is prohibited. Hence, pretraining on images such as those from ImageNet is allowed.
