BioMind AI beats doctors in a medical contest



Google has driven artificial intelligence from its DeepMind division to the medical field, but the search giant has emerged as a competitor in China. BioMind AI, developed by the research center in artificial intelligence for neurological disorders of that hospital and by a team of the University Capital Medical University, is able to get it right in nine out of ten diagnoses.

This happened in a contest organized by the Tiantan Hospital in Beijing. The artificial intelligence system performed in 87 minutes 87% of correct diagnoses out of a total of 225 cases, compared to 66% obtained by the team of doctors.

As for the prediction of cerebral hematoma, its accuracy was 83%, while doctors guessed right in 63% of the cases.

In both tests, the level of accuracy of the humans was "quite normal and better than the average of accuracy achieved in ordinary hospitals," said Gao Peiyi, head of the radiology department of this leading hospital in neurology and neurosurgery.

The robot has been trained for the last ten years by storing tens of thousands of images of diseases related to the nervous system, which makes it capable of diagnosing common neurological diseases such as meningioma and glioma with an accuracy rate of more than 90 %.

The vice president of the hospital, Wang Yongjun, said that the important thing is not who came out winner, because "the contest does not intend to face humans with technology but to help doctors learn and improve through interaction" with it, especially those more «Skeptics».

The jury for its part said that artificial intelligence will never replace professionals, but will work in a similar way to the use that a driver gives to a GPS.

Year one post roaming

                               Year one post roaming What do you need to know in order not to overpay if you travel in Europe? Far is left when one stepped on Paris or Berlin and looked for places to connect to the wifi to share with friends the photos of the trip. It has been a year since the technology frontiers in Europe have fallen and now any citizen can use the mobile networks of any country in the Old Continent - including Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway - at no extra cost. Goodbye surprises at the time of arrival of the days of rest for an excess in the bill of the mobile. A measure that, with the value of technology today, has been almost as important as the 1992 Maastricht Treaty, which gave the green light to the free movement of people in the Schengen area. Like any rule, it had a small print that it still maintains . On the ...

Keys to the new government tax that big technology does not like

Keys to the new government tax that big technology does not like It is still unknown how much will be collected but the law will be processed "imminently", although some multinationals have already complained Amazon, Facebook, Google or Twitter have in common that their fundamental business is based on the sale of advertising 'online', in the intermediary activities of digital platforms or in the commercialization of data that is generated with information provided with the user. Therefore, these companies -among others- will pay in Spain the new tax on technological platforms promoted by the Montero cabinet. These are the three assumptions that the finance minister detailed as the bases on which the "imminent" rate for digital services would be based. Although he placed special emphasis on his first appearance before the Finance Committee in Congress where this newly created tax "will not affect SMEs or medium-sized companies", the...

The EU launches the first European regulation for the flight of drones The aim is for flights to be "safe" even when the sky is "busiest" | So far, appliances of less than 150 kg are regulated by national authorities The Council of the European Union has approved on Tuesday the first legislation that regulates drone flight in the EU in order to "make it more competitive" and introduce measures to ensure the safety of citizens. "These rules will ensure that flights are safe even when our skies are more and more traveled," said Bulgarian Transport Minister Ivaylo Moskovski, on behalf of the country that represents the Council this semester, after learning of the agreement reached in Luxembourg. It will enter into force this summer once it is published in the Official Journal of the EU. So far, drones under 150 kilos are regulated by national authorities, leaving manufacturers and operators at the expense of different design and safety requirements....
