OSS: Open Suturing Skills Vision-Based Assessment Challenge 2024-2025
A recent challenge focused on developing vision-based AI systems for assessing open surgical skills. The competition, held over two years, involved tasks such as classifying skill levels, predicting detailed technical assessment scores, and tracking surgical tools. While general-purpose spatiotemporal video models performed best, predicting fine-grained skill scores proved challenging, and keypoint tracking faced limitations due to occlusions. AI
