2025/03/21 – HTML version of articles available
After staying in a beta state for some time, and leveraging the great work of tools such as LaTeXML, we are now including an HTML version of the articles directly into the paper pages. This is intended to facilitate skimming through articles, notably on phone or tablet.
2024/05/14 – MELBA Symposium on Generative Models
We are thrilled to announce the MELBA Symposium on Generative Models, which will take place on Tuesday, June 11 at 9-11:30 AM EDT, 3-5:30 PM CEST! Join us for an exciting lineup of talks from spotlight papers at MELBA surrounding generative models, machine learning and biomedical imaging. Afterwards, there will be a panel discussion with all speakers moderated by a member of the MELBA board.

2024/02/02 – Journal-to-conference track at MIDL 2024
The MELBA board happy to announce that, in partnership with the MIDL foundation, MIDL 2024 will feature a "journal-to-conference" track, inviting recently published* MELBA papers to present their work during the conference. Going forward newly published** papers will have the possibility to present their work at MIDL.
Moreover, the best papers of the conference will be invited to submit a journal extension to a special issue in the MELBA journal.
This will strenghten the ongoing partnership between the MIDL foundation and MELBA board, both of which are strongly committed to Open Science and Open Access.
* This excludes papers that are already an extension of a conference/workshop paper.
** Registration deadline will be communicated at a later date.
