The ISIC 2020 dataset, provided by the International Skin Imaging Collaboration (ISIC), is a large-scale dermoscopy image classification dataset. It consists of 33,126 images of benign and malignant skin lesions from 2,056 patients. The images have been sourced from 6 medical institutions across the globe. Unlike previous datasets, ISIC 2020 emphasizes the importance of patient-level information, which is particularly crucial in clinical practice. Each image comes with a unique patient identifier, aiding in more accurate melanoma diagnosis and reducing false positives. All malignant diagnoses have been confirmed through histopathology, while benign diagnoses have also been reliably verified.

The ISIC2020 dataset includes a train
directory for storing training images, and an ISIC_2020_Training_GroundTruth.csv
file, which lists patient information and diagnosis results corresponding to each image.
