The 16th Annual International Oncolytic Virotherapy Conference (IOVC) in Rotterdam: For the dreamers and doers of oncolytic virotherapy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
From October 27-30 2024, the 16th International Oncolytic Virotherapy Conference (IOVC) was held in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, a city that mirrors the spirit of resilience, conviction, and innovation of researchers in the field of oncolytic viruses. Rotterdam, renowned for its post-war rebuilding with cutting-edge architecture designed for a bright future in mind, provided a fitting reflection that oncolytic virotherapy is at a turning point in its evolution. Hosted at the International Congress Center De Doelen, the event gathered clinicians, scientists, and biotech leaders to showcase the most up-to-date clinical applications, novel viral platforms, targeted mechanisms, and immune-modulating strategies that will push the boundaries of cancer immunotherapy into the next era. We present here an overview of this engaging meeting and offer our own perspectives on where to dream and continue to build.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
