This open-source software project focused on computer vision-related machine learning (ML) technologies to predict a forecast of renal cancer from whole slide images.

How much experience does your group have? Does the project use anything (art, music, starter kits) you didn't create?

What challenges did you encounter?

Some of the challenges found in the project dealt with the size of the data being used. As the total data size was too massive to comfortably store locally. It was also formatted in a very particular way and form giving a lot preprocessing overhead by way of tiling.

We also had a big learning curve as we used new libraries none of us had used before. This meant that there was a bit of trial and error that slowed us down along the way. For example, figuring out when the model was over fit was a challenge.
