Part of the problem is that inadequate training data may not be a barrier to successfully marketing and implementing these systems - the tech is sexy and people are rightly excited.
> Doctors make mistakes all the time and people in the medical profession work odd hours so there's already a ton of room for errors.
That's my point - this is the training data. Unless we're careful, we're just going to approximate what we're already doing.
- m_ke 7y agoThese systems can be trained on more data than any doctor will see in their lifetime. This means that it can pick up on discrepancies between doctors and has room to outperform most doctors. I'm working on a similar system but for dietaty feedback based on images and it's amazing to see the model outperform all of the dietitians because it's able to see how all of the coaches respond to similar items.
