Spotlight News 23 More than21millionpeople inAfricaare infected with the nematode Onchocerca volvulus, the cause of river blindness. Millions of them eventually go blind. Parasitologists at the University Hospital Bonn are looking for new, more effective weapons against the insidious parasite, using an Artificial Intelligence system that will automate the evaluation of histological Artificial Intelligence in the Fight against River Blindness: sections together with already existing deep learning models for object recognition. The objective is to reduce the time required for the otherwise very lengthy evaluation . Read. Not only ZDNet talks about our work (see Computer Vision News of August)! Here is Medical Device and Diagnostic Industry (MD+DI) telling manufacturers of medical devices and all MedTech industry professionals what they think of our breakthroughs in the field of pulmonary imaging. O ur technology uses AI and deep learning techniques with the goal of pinpointing the exact location of suspicious lesions in the lungs, ensuring that surgeons can take biopsies from the correct site.

AI Provides a Detailed Road Map for Interventional Lung Procedures: Tesla's Advantage in Behaviour Prediction for Autonomous Driving OK. ‘nough said about pharma and medicine. Let’s see what’s up in the automotive field. This is about the importance of predicting the future behavior of road users (i.e., cars, pedestrians and cyclists) and the possible competitive advantage of Tesla, who has already over 500,000 vehicles on the road that can collect data to train neural networks to Don’t miss what Andrej Karpathy , Tesla’s Director of AI, explained about this process at Tesla Autonomy Day.
