Overview
What this challenge is about.
Train a multimodal classifier on 14,000 medical pairs, report F1 and biases, then earn a verifiable certificate.
The scenario
The Boston healthtech (around 25 staff, post-seed) works with two regional hospital systems and treats deferral-rate honesty as the core trust mechanism with clinicians.
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Train a multimodal triage classifier with honest deferral behavior and write the clinical-handoff doc clinicians will rely on.
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Apply multimodal fusion strategies to a real classification problem
- Calibrate probabilities for honest deferral decisions
- Audit a multimodal model for subgroup bias
- Communicate model limits clearly to a clinical audience
