“Certains ont essayé pendant 60 ans de développer des systèmes capables d’écrire du code, mais le problème est que ces méthodes ne gèrent pas correctement l’ambiguïté. Vous devez généralement donner beaucoup de détails sur ce que fait le programme cible, et l’écriture de ces détails peut … Plus de details
Commercial software performs as well as doctors in measuring breast density and assessing breast cancer risk Photo: iStockphoto Women with dense breasts have a greater risk of undergoing mammogram screenings that miss signs of breast cancer. That’s why 30 U.S. states legally require that women receive some notification about their breast density. A new study suggests that commercial software for automatically classifying breast density can perform on par with human radiologists: a finding that could encourage wider use of automated breast density assessments. Increased breast density represents “one of the strongest risk factors for breast cancer,” because it makes it more difficult to detect the disease in its early stages, explained Karla Kerlikowske, a physician and breast cancer researcher at the University of California, San Francisco. Dense breast tissue may also carry a higher risk of developing breast cancer. Breast density refers to the proportion of “nondense” fatty tissue to other “dense” tissue, containing milk ducts and Continue reading Computers Match Accuracy of Radiologists in Screening for Breast Cancer Risk

When patients receive a terminal cancer diagnosis, they are often given a frustratingly vague sense of how much time they have left. “You’ve got x months/years to live,” they’re typically told, a sentiment aimed at allowing patients to get their lives in order, maybe even live their last days with aplomb.
