Self-taught artificial intelligence beats doctors at predicting heart attacks • r/science

Sorry if not okay to post this. This is an automatic summary, original reduced by 80%. In an effort to predict these cases, many doctors use guidelines similar to those of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association. In the new study, Weng and his colleagues compared use of the ACC/AHA guidelines with four machine-learning algorithms: random forest, logistic regression, gradient boosting, and neural networks. Using record data available in 2005, they predicted which patients would have their first cardiovascular event over the next 10 years, and checked the guesses against the 2015 records.
