One thing that I noticed from watching the first ~minute of the video: rather than simply pressing on the skin, it looks like the finger is mostly pulling the skin down over the edge. My intuition is that this is because there isn't al

I feel like this comment was made in good faith so I wanted to explain my downvote: I think it's just too far off-topic for this particular announcement. It's better as a separate discussion.

All of Us is great for disease labels and for genetic validation (and discovery). I like it a lot. I just have... ideas for how they could make it more valuable. Ideas that I stole from Rory Collins. https://www.ukbiobank.ac.uk&#

Are you thinking of the Million Veteran Program? All of Us is readily accessible to most US institutions and is rolling out a plan to expand access.

The imaging reports are being imported, but not the images. The bigger issue is that clinical imaging is done due to medical indications. Medical indications dramatically confound the results. A key element of the UK Biobank's value is

Sadly the All of Us program (of which I am a research subject [and researcher]) hasn't done any sort of imaging or ECG. They did draw blood, so that allowed for genome sequencing. That may also, in principle, allow for assaying new b

Huge fan of the SAM loss function. Thanks for making this.

The only thing I'm 'shocked' by is the idea that anyone needs to pay to access my academic writing for model training. I would hope that using my academic writing to train models would be considered fair use.

Meta-comment: the prior discussions basically happened a little too early for the west coast folks.

As a physician I have the same expectations as you for those two words. Especially given that the link is to an anchor on the middle of the page, I was thinking in units of "OOM". Essentially I was thinking "OK an OOM is a un

Hypertension is not caused by the heart pumping too well, so this would not work for the purpose of curing hypertension. But if you could invent a durable heart replacement therapy, you'd save a lot of lives.

Almost every noncommunicable disease of adulthood becomes more common with age. (The diagnoses in this paper were things like "cardiomegaly" which are mostly just X-ray findings and, while they have ICD codes, are not a meaningful

> Or you might prefer a model that looks at the image only These models are only looking at the images. They are inferring demographics.

I believe that imbuing what the model does to make a prediction with the idea of "shortcuts" is oversimplifying a more complex issue. I don't think it's helpful to describe a model that can distinguish demographics as ta

There is no reason to believe that an X-ray model's correct estimation of age is due to "spurious correlation". Rather, it seems to be "undesirable correlation".

It's not too hard to train yourself to identify sex or approximate age. (I claim this because of time spent reviewing model output for work that I have done to build models to estimate age.) The reason radiologists don't do this i

by carbocation 2y ago
The authors refer to a literature describing "shortcuts" as " correlations that are present in the data but have no real clinical basis, for instance deep models using the hospital as a shortcut for disease prediction ".

For starters, I'd love to just see a rock-solid neural network replacement for screened poisson surface reconstruction. (I have seen MeshAnything and I don't think that's the end-game.)

The behavior should be the start and the end of the regulation. No need to specify AI, algorithms, etc, at all.

I'm focusing on a tiny technical detail here but from the description, it sounds like the ISOs weren't set up with an 83(b) election which is another bummer.

Very cool. I looked at the Bay Bridge and it gets the towers but probably not the bridge itself (this is a trivial point except for folks right by the bridge, but fun to look for edge cases).

Does this university press release name-check Cell but not link to the article? A bit frustrating.

Also on GCP, the vCPUs are usually hyperthreads (except for t2d- instance types, and perhaps a few others). So that machine you've described has 1 CPU core.

The substance of my comment to Sen Wiener hinges on a similar point to what you raise here. It's incredibly difficult to imagine doing a good job of regulating model training, especially in a few years when the available flops are high
