Enhance Your Research Alliance (EYRA) Benchmark Platform

Supporting researchers to easily set-up benchmarks

One of the currently most well-known benchmarks for algorithm performance is ImageNet. Many challenges have been organized using this database, with the latest challenge now running on Kaggle. In various scientific disciplines there is a growing interest to benchmark algorithm performance on research data. Many algorithms are proposed in the literature, but there is a growing need to compare them on the same data, using the same metrics and ground truth to compare their performance for a specific task. Organizing these open online benchmarks, will not only increase insight into which algorithms perform best for a given task, but open up these tasks for a wider audience to test their algorithms on, which could lead to new breakthroughs in the field. In this project, the Netherlands eScience Center and SURF join forces to develop a platform (EYRA Benchmark Platform) that supports researchers to easily set-up benchmarks and apply their algorithm on benchmarks from various scientific disciplines.

The EYRA benchmark platform aims to facilitate:

  • An easy way to set-up a research benchmark

  • Cross-fertilization between scientific disciplines

  • Overview of benchmarks per scientific discipline

  • Infrastructure to run algorithms on test data in the cloud

  • Insight into algorithm performance for a research problem, beyond the benchmark leaderboard.

The EYRA benchmark platform will be an extension of the COMIC platform developed in the group of professor Bram van Ginneken (Radboud UMC)
