Back in March 2016, Instagram switched its feed from chronological to best posts first. This bold move was quite controversial … More What Instagram’s New Algorithmic Feed Brought

For the first time ever, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has performed a perched landing thanks to machine learning algorithms. The ground-breaking development that is a work of the University of Bristol and BMT Defence Services has the potential to “significantly impact intelligence-gathering and the delivery of aid in a humanitarian disaster.” Currently, UAVs are … More UAV Performs First Ever Perched Landing Using Machine Learning Algorithms

The treatments of many illnesses require not one, but a combination of drugs. Usually, you’ll see patients taking blood pressure medication with anti-depressants or Advil with multivitamins. And of course, most chemotherapy treatments will go hand in hand with anti-nausea pills. While combining drugs is nothing new, researchers are still not sure exactly how these … More An Algorithm for Drug Combinations

Detecting emergent findings in x-rays has just become easier and faster thanks to Dr. Alvin Rajkomar, an assistant professor at the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center, who was able to train a deep learning neural network to automatically detect life-threatening abnormalities in chest X-rays. When Dr. Rajkomar was a medical resident, he encountered … More New Algorithm Automatically Detects Abnormalities in Chest X-rays
