Video tasks

Separate the research question before comparing data or models.

The same operative recording can support different tasks. Mixing them together makes the catalog harder to use and the claims harder to interpret.

Workflow understanding

Phase, step, event, and action recognition for structuring long procedure recordings.

Typical labels

Phase labels, step labels, event timestamps, temporal boundaries

Scene understanding

Instrument, anatomy, object, depth, and segmentation tasks describing what is visible in the field.

Typical labels

Boxes, masks, keypoints, depth maps, anatomy labels

Skill and quality signals

Assessment tasks that require explicit definitions, trained reviewers, and careful claims.

Typical labels

Rating scales, safety criteria, motion features, task completion labels

Annotation and benchmarking

Dataset design, inter-rater disagreement, leakage checks, and benchmark selection.

Typical labels

Label protocols, splits, metadata, adjudication rules, evaluation metrics

Datasets

Find data by procedure, task, annotation type, access, and modality.

Use datasets as source material, not as interchangeable benchmarks. Always check the original terms before download or reuse.

Models

Compare models by task, input, family, source, and evidence maturity.

The model catalog focuses on what a model was built to do, what data it expects, and what level of evaluation is actually available.

Resources

Guidelines, challenge hubs, reporting papers, and evaluation references.

This section is for materials that help researchers design, evaluate, report, or contextualize Surgical AI work.

Suggest a resource or prepare a contribution.

Submit official dataset links, model repositories, benchmark hubs, reporting papers, or resource corrections. Data contribution requires governance, consent review, de-identification, and institutional readiness before any upload pathway is opened.
