Google DeepMind announces the use of AI to fight breast cancer after conquering Go

January 08, 2023

[Netease smart news November 26 news] After conquering the world of Go, DeepMind company has used many machine learning resources to improve the medical level, today, DeepMind announced the use of artificial intelligence to fight breast cancer.

As a partner, DeepMind will work with some of the health research institutes led by the British Cancer Research Center at Imperial College London. At the same time, DeepMind will continue its research collaboration with the UK National Medical Service Center.

The goal of this project is to explore new methods to improve breast cancer detection by applying machine learning to mammography. Mammography is an X-ray technique commonly used to check breast health. DeepMind hopes to establish a machine learning model that can quickly and accurately detect signs of cancer and help doctors find cancer as early as possible so that treatment can begin as soon as possible.

Ian Fox, executive director of research and innovation at the British Cancer Research Center, said: "Utilizing the power of artificial intelligence, we can address some of the biggest challenges in breast cancer research, including improving the accuracy of cancer detection. Most cancer patients are Cancer has been detected at a later stage, and late cancer is difficult to cure. This is why the British Cancer Research Center is developing capabilities in this area, establishing new partnerships, and supporting a project group to carry out early cancer detection research to increase more. The survival rate of cancer patients."

In addition to working with doctors and medical institutions, DeepMind will also work with Google's artificial intelligence health research team (both of which belong to Alphabet's company) who have completed some of their research in machine learning to detect breast cancer. . DeepMind stated in a statement that the cooperation was proposed by its new partner, and they wanted DeepMind and Google researchers. "In this way, the project will be able to use the artificial intelligence experts of both teams, as well as Google. Supercomputer."

Earlier this year, DeepMind was attacked in the United Kingdom because it obtained private health information of patients in an “inappropriate” manner, which prompted the company to set up an independent review team to evaluate research behavior. For the new partnership announced today, DeepMind stated that it “is committed to treating the data of this project in the way it cares and respects most.”

DeepMind stated in the statement: “In accordance with standard practice, the data used in the research is still under full control of the partners, and the database used for storage meets world-class security and encryption standards. In addition, all medical information is not Any information that contains identifying information that can be used to identify an individual has been removed before the researcher conducts the data analysis."

The research agreement between DeepMind, Google and the UK National Health Service System is currently set to a 12-month cycle, but if the partners agree, the agreement can be extended. Like other DeepMind health projects, the company will publish all research findings in peer-reviewed journals. (Selected from: siliconangle Compiler: Netease See Compiled Robot Review: Xue Yaqin)
