2024 Challenge
ISIC Machine Learning Challenge
In this competition, you'll develop image-based algorithms to identify histologically confirmed skin cancer cases with single-lesion crops from 3D total body photos (TBP). The image quality resembles close-up smartphone photos, which are regularly submitted for telehealth purposes. Your binary classification algorithm could be used in settings without access to specialized care and improve triage for early skin cancer detection.
The ISIC Archive
A large and expanding open-source public-access archive of skin images serves as a public resource for teaching, research, and the development and testing of diagnostic artificial intelligence algorithms

Serving the Clinical and Computer Vision Communities
The International Skin Imaging Collaboration (ISIC) is an academia and industry partnership designed to use digital skin imaging to help reduce skin cancer mortality.
ISIC works to achieve its goals through the development and promotion of standards for digital skin imaging, and through engaging the dermatology and computer vision communities toward improved diagnostics.
Creating and Disseminating Skin Imaging Standards
Upcoming Workshop
The Alignment Problem in Medicine
In this special session, we will explore the alignment of AI systems with human values within image-based diagnostic medicine. To integrate complex ethical principles and embed human values into AI algorithm, it is required to understand ethical frames in healthcare and apply it in AI development. Transparency and biases in AI systems will also be important discussion topics in this session.
