ISLES'26 SWITCH+ 2026 Manuscript SubmissionΒΆ
ISLES'26 participants are also invited to submit a long abstract to the SWITCH+ 2026 workshop. The SWITCH+ workshop submission is optional and independent from the challenge itself.
Important Dates
-
Manuscript Submission Deadline: August 7, 23:59 (AoE)
(Note: Submissions can include partial algorithm results)
-
Acceptance Notifications: August 14 (AoE)
-
Camera-Ready Submissions: August 17, 23:59 (AoE)
(Note: Only the performance results may be updated at this stage based on your latest trained models. No significant changes to other manuscript sections are permitted).
1) Eligibility
Only ISLES 2026 challenge-related manuscripts are eligible.
2) Instructions for authors
Participants will have to submit a short paper, 4-6 pages, describing their segmentation method and results. Please submit your manuscript here via the challenge track. The challenge proceedings will be combined with the SWITCH+ 2026 workshop and published in the Springer LNCS proceedings. Please use the Springer LNCS format and ensure the following points are addressed in your manuscript:
Abstract (no citations to be present)
- Appropriate keywords
- Introduction
- Methods
- Results
- Discussion & Conclusion
- [OPTIONAL] Acknowledgements
- References (add all citations you deem appropriate)
Important: Because official test set results will not be available prior to manuscript submission, you must report validation performance using internal validation techniques over the train dataset (e.g., a train/test split or k-fold cross-validation). Manuscripts that only report results from the preliminary Docker evaluation phase will not be accepted, as that phase includes only 2 training scans intended strictly for Docker debugging.
Citation: If you use the ISLES'26 dataset, please cite our data descriptor manuscript (coming soon).
3) Poster & oral presentation
Accepted papers will be invited for a poster and/or an oral presentation session during ISLES'26 at MICCAI, on September 27 (full-day).
