🚨 How do we synthesize fully annotated and semantically consistent surgical datasets?
We address this in our work (ConStructS), which was published at @SpringerNature #IJCARS and will be presented at @IPCAI_conf

Congrats👏on the new journal MIA paper on surgical workflow analysis 🤩, @DominikRivoir, our PhD student @NCT_UCC_DD @TactileInternet, under the supervision of @SpeidelStefanie. Great job!
New paper out at Medical Image Analysis!
sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Using only CNN-LSTMs, we beat SOTA on 3 surgical video tasks, outperforming Transformers.
What did we do?
Turns out, the key components are simply:
- end-to-end training
- a backbone without BatchNorm!
