Connectomics Benchmark + Prize Program
Make connectome reconstruction a measurable, competitive AI problem.
The bottleneck
Proofreading and reconstruction lack an operationally maintained benchmark, blinded evaluation set, and cost curve.
The proposed work
Blinded datasets, reproducible evaluation, a maintained leaderboard, and a recurring Connectome Challenge.
PL R&D’s proposed role
PL’s role is to be confirmed. The source proposes a field-level program but does not establish PL’s specific delivery responsibility.
What we would examine
Measure accuracy, compute cost, and human labor; the draft targets serious outside participation and order-of-magnitude improvement.
