"A new machine learning system is better at predicting the likelihood of patients with cardiovascular problems dying within ten years than healthcare professionals’ methods, according to a study presented at the EuroEcho 2021, a scientific meeting of the European Society Cardiology.
Unlike traditional methods based solely on clinical data, the new machine learning system also includes results from imaging scans on the heart, measured by stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). During this exam, patients receive a drug that mimics the effect of exercise on the heart and then undergo imaging using a magnetic resonance imaging scanner." - Alex Reis, Author Learn More from European Scientist >

"If the Pentagon is going to rely on algorithms and artificial intelligence, it’s got to solve the problem of “brittle AI.” A top Air Force official recently illustrated just how far there is to go.
In a recent test, an experimental target recognition program performed well when all of the conditions were perfect, but a subtle tweak sent its performance into a dramatic nosedive.
But Simpson said the low accuracy rate of the algorithm wasn’t the most worrying part of the exercise. While the algorithm was only right 25 percent of the time, he said, “It was confident that it was right 90 percent of the time, so it was confidently wrong. And that's not the algorithm's fault. It's because we fed it the wrong training data.”" - Patrick Tucker, Technology Editor Learn More from Defense One >
