Dear organizers and fellow participants, Thank you so much for setting up this challenge and for all the hard work. I’d like to open a quick discussion/request: Is there any plan to release the source surgical videos (the full MP4 streams from which the 700 annotated frames were sampled, with corresponding frame timestamp) alongside the labeled frames? Even having access to unlabeled video clips around each annotated frame, or lower-framerate versions, would be incredibly valuable for us. I understand it would be difficult from variaty of perspectives (e.g. data complexity, file size, anonymization...), but I think this would significantly boost both the competitiveness of the challenge and the scientific value of the dataset. Would love to hear what the organizers and other participants think about this. Best regards, Shunsuke Kikuchi Jmees Inc.

Dear Shunsuke, Thank you for your kind feedback and for initiating this discussion. We completely agree that having access to the full video streams would add significant scientific value. However, as you accurately pointed out, the complexities surrounding anonymization and data management prevent us from releasing the complete source videos or surrounding clips during the active challenge. That being said, we are actively looking into the feasibility of releasing this extended data alongside the publication once the challenge has concluded. Best regards, Max
