  • The CHAIMELEON Open Challenges offer a unique opportunity for researchers to collaborate and develop new solutions that can significantly impact cancer diagnosis and treatment.
  • The CHAIMELEON (Accelerating the lab to market transition of AI tools for cancer management) project is funded by European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, which promotes scientific excellence, innovation, and international competitiveness.
  • Quibim will coordinate and oversee the open challenges, leveraging the company’s expertise in applying AI to cancer research and medical imaging.

VALENCIA, Spain, July 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Cancer is the second leading cause of death in Europe1. With 3.7 million new cancer cases in Europe each year, it is clear that clinicians require innovative tools and resources to improve cancer diagnosis, therapy, patient selection, and prediction. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a promising technology that can support these goals. In the search for new AI opportunities to advance medical research and improve patient outcomes, the consortium partners of the EU-funded CHAIMELEON Project have created the CHAIMELEON Open Challenges.

The CHAIMELEON Open Challenges is a competition designed to train and refine AI models to answer clinical questions about five types of cancer: prostate, lung, breast, colon, and rectal. Participants are challenged to collaborate and develop innovative AI-powered solutions that can significantly impact cancer diagnosis, management, and treatment. They will be evaluated considering a balance between the performance of their AI algorithms to predict different clinical endpoints such as disease staging, treatment response or progression free survival and their trustworthiness. Those who take on the challenge can win a total prize pool of €20,000 per challenge, split amongst the winners, with €100,000 in prizes.

The CHAIMELEON Open Challenges offers a unique opportunity for researchers to collaborate and develop new solutions that can have a significant impact on cancer diagnosis and treatment. The registration for the challenges will open on July 3rd, 2023 and will be available until the end of August 2023. The challenges will be divided in two phases: the Classification Phase and the Championship Phase.

The Classification Phase will extend from July to September 2023. In this phase, any participant can join and download a highly controlled cancer dataset. The dataset will consist of post-processed (i.e., harmonised) images associated with specific clinical variables, ensuring a level playing field for all participants. The participants will train their AI models and compete to be among the top on the leaderboard.

The Championship Phase will extend from October to December 2023. In this phase the top 40 participants from the previous phase will be invited to compete on an even grander stage, using the CHAIMELEON platform to train their algorithms. This phase will include five different challenges, one for each cancer type (prostate, lung, breast, colon, and rectal), with a total prize pool of 20.000€ per challenge, split among the winners. Original images and associated clinical data, along with different image pre-processing and harmonization tools, will be available to participants who have passed the qualifying round cut-off point. The same computational resources will be assigned to each participant; therefore, each participant can decide which challenges to tackle and apply their strategies accordingly.

Quibim will be the leading specialised company managing the challenges, as it has vast experience in cancer research through AI. Ángel Alberich-Bayarri, CEO and co-founder of Quibim, says, “The excitement of being part of this one-of-a-kind project is immense; we get to participate in what will be a significant step forward in cancer research. The CHAIMELEON Open Challenges are an encouraging opportunity for the scientific community because they will enable researchers to leverage the power of AI to develop new solutions.”

The challenges are open to the whole scientific and tech community interested in AI. They are a unique opportunity to showcase how AI can be used to advance medical research and improve patient outcomes within the CHAIMELEON project.

Institutions Have Doubled their Bitcoin Allocations this Year, New Bybit Report Shows

Published

institutions-have-doubled-their-bitcoin-allocations-this-year,-new-bybit-report-shows

DUBAI, UAE, Dec. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s third-largest crypto exchange by volume, has released new research offering analysis of how traders adapt their strategies in fluctuating market conditions. “Navigating Bull and Bear Markets — A Dive Into Asset Allocation,” uses Bybit’s proprietary data and is the first initiated by a crypto exchange.

The report provides a detailed examination of asset allocation strategies employed by different cohorts — institutions, VIPs, and retail traders — especially in the volatile market environment since December 2022.

Key findings include:

  • Institutional Investors: Predominantly holding 45% in stablecoins, 35% in Bitcoin, and 15% in Ether, institutions emphasize liquidity and strategic diversification. Notably, their Bitcoin holdings nearly doubled in the first three quarters of 2023.
  • Ether Trends: A decline in institutional interest in Ether has been noted, although upcoming market developments, like the rumored BlackRock spot Ether ETF, could shift the trend.
  • Retail Trader Behavior: Retail traders are observed to hold more stablecoins, suggesting a more cautious allocation to riskier assets compared to traditional finance norms.
  • Altcoin Investments: Both retail and VIP traders show higher altcoin holdings than institutional investors, although these remain a minor part of total portfolios, indicating caution, perhaps due to a hangover from the recent bear market.

“This report is a testament to Bybit’s commitment to empowering our users with actionable insights,” said Ben Zhou, co-founder and CEO. “Understanding how different market participants navigate the complexities of bull and bear markets is crucial. We believe this research will not only enlighten our traders but also contribute to the broader crypto community’s understanding of market dynamics.”

Bitget Wallet Integrates TON Mainnet, Prepares for TON and Telegram-Based Innovative Products

VICTORIA, Seychelles, Nov. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The leading Web3 trading wallet, Bitget Wallet (formerly known as BitKeep Wallet), now supports TON (The Open Network). TON, a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain, was initially designed by the Telegram team and later advanced by the community.

This performance capability positions TON as a pivotal player in the evolving digital landscape. By building a Web3 ecosystem within Telegram, TON is committed to bridging Web2 and Web3, promoting the widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies and decentralized technologies.

Bitget Wallet’s support for TON reflects a recognition of its innovation and anticipation of Telegram’s user base venturing into Web3. This aligns with Bitget Wallet’s ongoing commitment to providing convenient, user-friendly product experiences and opening the doors to Web3 for its users.

To date, Bitget Wallet has served over 12 million users worldwide, becoming one of the most popular crypto hot wallets globally, with its app ranking fourth in global downloads in October.
