How Machine Learning and Data Can Improve Cancer Care - DZone Big Data

Over 1.5 million people are diagnosed with cancer each year in America alone. Indeed, research currently relies on data from just 3% of patients. MIT's Regina Barzilay is hoping to rectify that. Via the MIT Stata Center, she leads a Machine Learning-based project that aims to derive insight from patient data. She's working with a consortium of partners, including Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) to bring data science to clinical research.
