Machine learning could predict death or heart attack with over 90% accuracy: Study

Washington DC: A study claimed that machine learning, modern bedrock of artificial intelligence, could predict death or heart attack with more than 90 per cent accuracy. The study was presented at The International Conference on Nuclear Cardiology and Cardiac CT (ICNC) 2019. Machine learning is used every day. Google's search engine, face recognition on smartphones, self-driving cars, Netflix and Spotify recommendation systems -- all use machine learning algorithms to adapt to the individual user. By repeatedly analysing 85 variables in 950 patients with known six-year outcomes, an algorithm'learned' how imaging data interacts.
