The author picks an example of an aspect where Med-Palm2 is impressive, and then your counter argument is to find another cherry picked example where the performance is not satisfactory. Great discourse..
There is nothing disingenuous about the post. Is your argument literally that there is not enormous potential for impact with this technology? And you're going to go with the argument that there's a single axis on which an ML system underperforms a frigging doctor? In what universe is an ML system (slightly) underperforming a human doctor on a single axis not one of the most impressive things to have happened in the past 50 years?
- dvt 3y ago> a single axis on which an ML system underperforms a frigging doctor You do realize the salience of the fact that this isn't some arbitrary axis, right? It just so happens to be the axis that involves the doctor making the correct diagnostic. Which is, you know, the entire reason doctors are a thing. > slightly I wouldn't call a factor of two "slightly," but that's neither here nor there.
- tinco 3y agoAre we reading the same paper? In the graph I'm looking at the axis where the model underperforms the doctor is labeled "No inaccurate/irrelevant information", which has nothing to do with making the correct diagnostic. The three important axes "Answer supported by consensus", "Possible harm extent = No harm" and "Low likelihood of harm" it is performing really similarly to the doctors, probably similar to the graph a single middle of the pack doctor would have. Are you reading a different graph or am I misunderstanding something about it?
- cristiancavalli 3y agoI think the axis OP is looking at is “more inaccurate information” which medpalm does perform more poorly on.
