Radiology diagnostics & antibiotic development with Kyle Swanson (Marshall Scholar @ Cambridge University)

The Data Pulse

Deep learning can be applied to tasks that involve a breadth of data types. I talk with Kyle Swanson, currently a Marshall Scholar at Cambridge University and previously at MIT, about his projects with Regina Barzilay on predicting breast cancer from mammograms, with performance on par with radiologists, and on designing antibiotics in a high-throughput manner using a new class of neural networks, identifying a compound that traditional chemists may have overlooked.
