Google wants to use artificial intelligence to fight against cancer



The DeepMind division works with English hospitals for the detection of this type of diseases


Google is not just a search engine, the technological multinational continues to develop its axis of artificial intelligence. Google DeepMind collaborates with several British centers to improve the work of doctors and treatment for patients.

The latest agreement of the technology has a goal and is to develop tools to automatically identify cancer cells in radiology machines. Together with the Hospital of the University of London, they will study a better treatment for patients with head and neck cancer.

Current medical technology allows a detailed map of healthy head and neck areas in at least four hours. However, Google expects that with the application of its working methods this time will be reduced to 60 minutes.

DeepMind works in deep learning, a form of artificial intelligence that tries to identify patterns after observing a large amount of data.

In this case, the DeepMind researchers will gain access to anonymous radiology scans of up to 700 former patients and then feed them on the algorithms that would process the scans to learn the visual difference between healthy and cancerous tissue.

The partnership will allow researchers to form their algorithms with highly specialized, high-quality data, which theoretically allow the algorithm to act at a higher success rate than if they had been using scanners available to the public.

The supermarket chain drops by 0.7% in 2018 to 7.5% market share, despite "not yet accounted for the negative effects of layoffs", explains the head of retail sector of Kantar Worldpanel .

This means that 1 of every 4 euros spent on mass consumption goes to the firm of Juan Roig, which has strengthened its position especially in fresh products, which account for half of what we Spaniards spend in the shopping cart, according to the figures of the report 'Balance of the Distribution...
