Deep Learning -- What's the hype about? – Deep Neuron Lab – Medium

To say artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming healthcare would be an understatement. Thanks to enormous advancements in computer processing power, as well as the increase of data collection at the patient, clinician and institutional level, AI is now driving the digital healthcare revolution. This transformation has been visibly apparent within the fields of medical diagnoses, drug discovery, e-health, and electronic health records. In particular, the field of medical diagnoses is where AI and deep learning have shown the most use cases. This is largely due to the recent developments in computer vision and object recognition, especially from 2012 when AlexNet, a convolutional network, won the ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge.
