#Awesome“Canadian researchers have developed a machine-learning model that accurately predicts diabetes in a population using routinely collected health data. Using the validated data collected including variables like body mass index and high blood pressure, the algorithm was 80 per cent accurate in predicting who was at risk of type 2 diabetes in the population over […]
Is AI preventing you from landing your dream job?
#Awesome“For the 285 million people around the world living with blindness or low vision, exercising independently can be challenging. Earlier this year, [Google] announced Project Guideline, an early-stage research project, developed in partnership with Guiding Eyes for the Blind, that uses machine learning to guide runners through a variety of environments that have been marked […]
Preventing algorithmic discrimination
Awesome, not awesome.#Awesome“Machine learning can assess the effectiveness of mathematical tools used to predict the movements of financial markets, according to new Cornell research based on the largest dataset ever used in this area. The researchers’ model could also predict future market movements, an extraordinarily difficult task because of markets’ massive amounts of information and […]
AI waging war against mental illness and Covid-19
Awesome, not awesome.#Awesome“[AI in mental illness] is one of the most exciting new directions that we have. Because mental health problems, particularly depression but all across the board, are so important. They’re also understaffed in terms of capable counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists and mental health professionals in general. So the ability to quantify, in real time, […]
Ethical AI during a pandemic
Awesome, not awesome.#Awesome“Reading minds has just come a step closer to reality: scientists have developed artificial intelligence that can turn brain activity into text. While the system currently works on neural patterns detected while someone is speaking aloud, experts say it could eventually aid communication for patients who are unable to speak or type, such […]
Using AI to fight back against COVID-19
Awesome, not awesome.#Awesome“AI is extremely good at finding patterns across multiple data types. For example, we’re now able to analyze patterns of human response to the pressures of the pandemic as measured through sentiments on social media, and even patterns in geospatial data to see where social distancing may and may not be working. And, […]
The future of viruses and AI
#Awesome“…In theory, AIs could be used to predict the evolution of the coronavirus too. Inam imagines running unsupervised learning algorithms to simulate all possible evolution paths. You could then add potential vaccines to the mix and see if the viruses mutate to develop resistance. “This will allow virologists to be a few steps ahead of […]
Machine learning used to detect coronavirus in patients
Awesome, not awesome. #Awesome“Artificial intelligence (AI) approaches have the potential to affect several facets of cancer therapy. These include drug discovery and development and how these drugs are clinically validated and ultimately administered at the point of care, among others. Currently, these processes are expensive and time-consuming. Moreover, therapies often result in variable treatment outcomes […]
A human may never read your resume again
Awesome, not awesome. #Awesome“Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has been working to improve the state of global health through his nonprofit foundation for 20 years, and today he told the nation’s premier scientific gathering that advances in artificial intelligence and gene editing could accelerate those improvements exponentially in the years ahead. “We have an opportunity with […]
AI tracks Coronavirus through social media
Awesome, not awesome. #Awesome“… [A]n international team [is] using machine learning to comb through social media posts, news reports, data from official public health channels, and information supplied by doctors for warning signs the virus is taking hold in countries outside of China. The program is looking for social media posts that mention specific symptoms, […]
