2018 Manufacturing Research Review 2020 Deep Dive Strategy & Competition – Market Reports

#artificialintelligence

Over the past few years, the manufacturing industry continued to remain a critical force in both advanced and developing economies. The sector has gone through significant transformations bringing out new opportunities and challenges to business leaders and policy makers. Get PDF Sample Copy of this report at https://decisionmarketreports.com/request-sample/1247548 In advanced economies, the manufacturing sector has largely concentrated on promoting innovation, productivity and trade more than growth and employment. In many advanced economies manufacturing sector has to consume more services and rely heavily on them to operate.


A new machine learning approach detects esophageal cancer better than current methods

#artificialintelligence

LEBANON, NH - Recently, deep learning methods have shown promising results for analyzing histological patterns in microscopy images. These approaches, however, require a laborious, high-cost, manual annotation process by pathologists called "region-of-interest annotations." A research team at Dartmouth and Dartmouth-Hitchcock Norris Cotton Cancer Center, led by Saeed Hassanpour, PhD, has addressed this shortcoming of current methods by developing a novel attention-based deep learning method that automatically learns clinically important regions on whole-slide images to classify them. The team tested their new approach for identifying cancerous and precancerous esophagus tissue on high-resolution microscopy images without training on region-of-interest annotations. "Our new approach outperformed the current state-of-the-art approach that requires these detailed annotations for its training," concludes Hassanpour.


New machine learning method could spare some women from unnecessary breast surgery

#artificialintelligence

LEBANON, NH - Atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) is a breast lesion associated with a four- to five-fold increase in the risk of breast cancer. ADH is primarily found using mammography and identified on core needle biopsy. Despite multiple passes of the lesion during biopsy, only portions of the lesions are sampled. Other variable factors influence sampling and accuracy such that the presence of cancer may be underestimated by 10-45%. Currently, surgical removal is recommended for all ADH cases found on core needle biopsies to determine if the lesion is cancerous.

Exactly a century ago, a Tennessee entrepreneur named Clarence Saunders was granted a patent for a new idea that would disrupt retail by cutting jobs and costs at the same time. Though Saunders' name isn't well-known, you might have interacted with his invention in the past week or so: the self-service grocery store, where you choose your own items from the shelves. Before Saunders opened the first Piggly Wiggly in Memphis, customers would hand a shopping list to a clerk, who would assemble the order. It's an example of innovation that has endured. But in 2017, a group of entrepreneurs are starting to wonder whether more cost -- and more jobs -- could be wrung from the grocery business by having robots roam the aisles.
