Overhyping AI doctors, language translation goes open source, and new jobs on the cards

Roundup Here's a quick roundup to keep you updated on what's been happening in AI, beyond what we've already covered, for your long weekend. It includes news of Samsung and Qualcomm setting up new AI research teams, why human radiologists are still better than machines and support for Amazon's Keras-MXNet backend. Hold your horses AI radiologists People are quick to believe that machines will soon replace radiologists because they think computers are much better at spotting abnormalities like tumors or clots in medical scans. But results reported by Stanford University shows that radiologists still trump AI. A group of researchers built a large convolutional neural network (CNN) with 169 layers to predict the probability of an abnormality appearing in a particular scan from the MURA (musculoskeletal radiographs) dataset. It collects 40,561 scans of the elbow, finger, forearm, hand, humerus, shoulder, and wrist of 12,173 patients.
