Deep learning has great potential in medicine, in particular in radiology and tissue classification. Creating the datasets from scratch will take decades of careful deliberate highly costly effort however, and the current crap hospitals call records is utterly useless. It will truly have to be a bottom up approach, and in the process systematic studies to actually verify a lot of bullshit medical ideas will also have to be done. Basic questions like how many kinds of tissues are there have very dubious answers which are known to be coarse approximations, and some diseases are specifically deviation from the approximations. Its probably not quite as bad as linguistics where, but its really bad. Once datasets with millions of people followed and tested regularly throughout their lives for the specific purpose of generating the dataset, are available for training, it will be quite good. Shame we wont live to see it.
