CVPR 2026 CT-FM Challenge — Task 2 EAO, Vision-Only Track Submission

Submission artifact for Aviral (team leader: Aviral Kaintura) to the CVPR 2026: Foundation Models for General CT Image Diagnosis challenge (Codabench competition 12650), Task 2 — Embedding Aggregation Optimization (EAO), Vision-Only (VO) track.

Validation result: 0.7086 balanced accuracy / 0.728 AUROC, mean over 17 binary classification targets (Codabench submission #715408).

Contents

• aviral_vo_eao.tar.gz — Docker image (aviral_vo_eao:latest, ~13GB). Wraps the organizer-provided CT-NEXUS backbone as a frozen feature extractor; entrypoint extract_feat_EAO.sh produces per-case spatial embeddings.
• aviral_vo_eao_inference.zip — training script (run_EAO_improved.py), ensemble inference script (predict_eao_ensemble.py), trained checkpoints (4 seeds × 17 targets × multiple learning rates), and a standalone threshold-optimization script.
• predict_eao_ensemble.py — standalone copy of the final inference script, with per-target decision thresholds merged in directly so it runs as a single step (no separate threshold-optimization pass required).

License

The team's own contributions in this repository — training code, inference/ensembling code, threshold-calibration logic, and trained checkpoint weights — are released under the MIT License.

This does not cover the CT-NEXUS backbone bundled inside the Docker image. CT-NEXUS is an organizer-provided baseline for this challenge (github.com/kmin940/CT-NEXUS) with no separate publication, model card, or license file of its own. It is included here only as required to reproduce this submission's Docker container; if you intend to reuse the backbone itself outside the context of this challenge, refer to its source repository directly rather than assuming MIT terms apply to it.
