The Biomedia ACM Multimedia Sample Submission

This repository aims to provide a skeleton for preparing your submission to the 2019 Biomedia ACM Multimedia Grand Challange. For starters, we require that each submission is delivered in the form of a Docker image. This Docker image should create the submission file described in the challenge description. If you are new to docker, a good place to start is the Get Started page of the official Docker documentation.

We thank you for your interest in this years Biomedia challenge and wish you the best of luck.

How to Participate

To participate, we require you to build a Docker image of your submission which includes all required dependencies and can be run using the latest version of Docker. Please note that the data should not be included within the Docker image itself, as it will be injected by us. Assume that the test dataset will be located at /biomedia. An example submission is included within this repository, where we show an example of a Keras based submission.

Testing your Docker image

To test you submission, run the following bash command:

sudo docker run -v <test_set_location>:/biomedia -a stdin -a stdout -a stderr <docker_id> > biomedia_submission.txt 

The results should be a .txt file in the format of the example shown in the file example_biomedia_submission.txt located within this repository.

Submitting your Docker Image

To submit your Docker image, we recommend that you export it using the following bash command:

sudo docker save <docker_id> > biomedia_image.tar

This command will produce a tar file of your Docker image which can easily be sent to one of the organizers of Biomedia 2019. Once the Docker image is exported, submit it to one of the following email addresses; steven@simula.no, michael@simula.no or paal@simula.no.

For any questions, feel free to contact steven@simula.no.
