As context, this is Apple's first published AI research paper. After Russ Salakhutdinov was hired, he promised that Apple would start publishing AI papers in peer-reviewed conferences... and this is them making good on that promise. I

In our case, we're applying deep learning to sensor data, so much of the day-to-day work of a machine learning engineer is experimenting with new neural architectures rather than feature engineering by hand. For example, we're usi

I agree--the impact of a great engineer working in healthcare is very high, particularly if you partner with medical experts. We're a small startup that has partnered with UCSF Cardiology to detect abnormal heart rhythms, and other con

Your mocks look really nice! If you're interested in the fraud problem, you might try some of the other fraud detection startups, like Sift Science (which you mention), Forter, Riskified, or Signifyd. I'll bet you'd bring a u

Good question. Atrial fibrillation is the first clinical application, and my hope is that we'll have final publishable results in early 2017. Other studies have shown is that, in a population at high risk of atrial fibrillation but und

Thanks for posting endswapper! I'm one of the co-founders of Cardiogram. If anybody has questions about either Cardiogram Apple Watch app or the science behind it, happy to talk here.

I hear this sentiment a lot, and don't entirely disagree with it... but it oversimplifies our community massively. If you want to work on big, meaningful problems, here are some compelling options. Do you think our government is broken

Very cool! I've worked with the Insight Health Data fellows before, enjoyed the experience, and they got a lot done. I think one thing that's tricky about artificial intelligence as a field is that it involves so many diverse pre-

One way to think about AI's potential impact is less about replacing what physicians do well currently, and more about doing things they can't do at all. Take ECGs -- it's true that in a hospital, an automated ECG interpretat

Yep—as you point out, the first paragraph of the article cites the same 1979 MYCIN accuracy results you did. My criteria for success is enduring impact on the way medicine is practiced, so the the rest of the article tries to answer the &qu

This is an insightful response! I'm curious, what AI application are you working on?

I read your question a few times but I'm sorry, I still don't understand. Can you rephrase it?

There are lots of parallels to fraud detection! Label imbalance is the obvious one: in both cases, you're looking for the proverbial needle in the haystack, so techniques like anomaly detection or unsupervised learning are really impor

What's strange is that although doctors have been reluctant to adopt AI like MYCIN, the pace of adoption for other innovations like new surgeries, drugs, and implantable devices is actually quite rapid. So I don't think doctors re

by brandonb 10y ago
(OP here) We spend a lot of time thinking about how to make AI succeed in medicine. Given that so many efforts, including MYCIN, have been tried and failed before, one of the key questions to answer is "Why now?" In other words, w
