IBM Releases open-sourced AI Projects to Help Cure Cancer -- AI Daily - Artificial Intelligence News

Cancer is a leading cause of death around the globe, with an estimated 600,000 yearly deaths in the United States alone. Research shows that one in two will develop cancer throughout their lifetime. So far, over 90 billion USD has been spent on cancer research and treatment by The National Cancer Institute. No cure has been found yet. To improve research effectiveness and help put an end to cancer, IBM began three AI-powered projects (PaccMann, INtERAcT, and PIMKL) and made them available for public communities.
