Just like the last term, I decided to present on a topic spanning 2-3 papers instead of a single paper. This time, I chose to present on how existing works “aggregate” multi-annotator segmentations for medical images. These are the papers that I covered in this presentation:

  • Warfield et al., “Simultaneous Truth and Performance Level Estimation (STAPLE): An Algorithm for the Validation of Image Segmentation”, IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging, 2004 [URL].
  • Kats et al., “A Soft STAPLE Algorithm Combined with Anatomical Knowledge”, MICCAI 2019 [URL].
  • Zhang et al., “Learning to Segment When Experts Disagree”, MICCAI 2020 [URL].

Here are the slides I made to present this topic in our reading group:
