Abstract

Surgical data science has seen rapid ad vancement with the excellent performance of end-to-end deep neural networks (DNNs). Despite their successes, DNNs have been proven susceptible to minor “corrup tions,” substantially impairing the model’s performance, introducing a major concern for the translation of cutting-edge technology, especially in high-stakes scenarios. We introduce the SegSTRONG-C challenge dedicated to better understanding model deterioration under unforeseen but plausible non-adversarial “corruption” and the capabilities of contemporary methods that seek to improve it. Built on a dataset generated through counterfactual robotic replay, SegSTRONG-C provides paired clean and “corrupted” samples, enabling reproducible evaluation of model robustness. Participants are challenged to train tool segmentation algorithms on “uncorrupted” data and evaluate them on “corrupted” test …
