Awesome, not awesome. #Awesome“Free will, from a neuroscience perspective, can look like quite quaint… using the fMRI to monitor brain activity and machine learning to analyze the neuroimages, the researchers were able to predict which pattern participants would choose up to 11 seconds before they consciously made the decision. And they were able to predict how […]

Awesome, not awesome. #Awesome“Computers were as good or better than doctors at detecting tiny lung cancers on CT scans, in a study by researchers from Google and several medical centers…[b]y feeding huge amounts of data from medical imaging into systems called artificial neural networks, researchers can train computers to recognize patterns linked to a specific condition, […]

Awesome, not awesome. #Awesome“…[R]esearchers are working on ways to let AI learn from large amounts of medical data while making it very hard for that data to leak…“The whole notion of doing computation while keeping data secret is an incredibly powerful one,” says David Evans, who specializes in machine learning and security at the University of […]

Awesome, not awesome. #Awesome“A team from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) has created a new deep learning model that can predict from a mammogram if a patient is likely to develop breast cancer in the future. They trained their model on mammograms and known outcomes from over 60,000 […]

Awesome, not awesome. #Awesome“… For nearly 70 years, the process of interviewing, allocating, and accepting refugees has gone largely unchanged… If it works, [a new algorithm called] Annie could change that dynamic… The system examines a series of variables — physical ailments, age, levels of education and languages spoken, for example — related to each refugee case. In other words, […]

Awesome, not awesome. #Awesome“Scientists have harnessed artificial intelligence to translate brain signals into speech, in a step toward brain implants that one day could let people with impaired abilities speak their minds, according to a new study…When perfected, the system could give people who can’t speak, such as stroke patients, cancer victims, and those suffering from […]

Awesome, not awesome.#Awesome“According to the American Cancer Society, more than 229,000 people will be diagnosed with lung cancer in the United States this year, with adenocarcinoma being the most common type. To help with diagnosis, researchers from Dartmouth’s Norris Cotton Cancer Center and the Hassanpour Lab at Dartmouth University developed a deep learning-based system for […]

Awesome, not awesome. #Awesome“Facebook has promised to use artificial intelligence to stop suggesting users invite their dead friends to parties…“Once an account is memorialised, we use AI to help keep the profile from showing up in places that might cause distress, like recommending that person be invited to events or sending a birthday reminder to their […]
