PCam (PatchCamelyon)

Introduced by Bastiaan S. Veeling et al. in Rotation Equivariant CNNs for Digital Pathology archive 2025-07-28

PatchCamelyon is an image classification dataset. It consists of 327.680 color images (96 x 96px) extracted from histopathologic scans of lymph node sections. Each image is annotated with a binary label indicating presence of metastatic tissue. PCam provides a new benchmark for machine learning models: bigger than CIFAR10, smaller than ImageNet, trainable on a single GPU.

Papers archive 2025-07-28

11 shown of 11 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 110. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
