In this video, you will find information about cervical cancer, the procedure in which the images were taken and important features you’ll find in the images. \nAny questions can be posted here and we will do our best to answer them.\n \nGood luck in the competition!\n\nThe MobileODT team.\n \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8OGrykSgy0&feature=youtu.be\n\n**Update (May-15):**\n More information is available on this video by professor Albert Singer:\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxnYU6FOLzk&t=2s",

    "179425": "This video was very informative.\n\nCould you please clarify for us if the green filter is indeed a digital filter (image processing), or if it is a physical filter, or if it is a light source?\n\nThank you!",
    "179491": "Interesting video, thanks. I would like to ask few questions: \n\n- Is it correct that all images in the kaggle dataset that are not green filtered, with natural look like cervix (no Lugol's iodine applied) represent cervix under acetic acid application ? So, we have only three types of images: cervix under Acetic acid, cervix under Lugol's iodine and \"green\" cervix?\n\n- Could you please, explain the section of \"Edge cases\". What are exactly these posterior and anterior regions ?\n\nThank you",
