Researchers at the Regenstrief Institute and Indiana University School of Informatics and Computing at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis have found that existing algorithms and open source machine learning tools are as good as, or better than, human reviewers in detecting cancer cases using data from free-text pathology reports. DATAVERSITY brought this news to us in their…
Read MoreSemantic Technology Used to See the Brain in a New Way
Digging into the human brain seems daunting and dangerous, but we know that, for all we already know about the human brain, there is likely even more to learn. For instance, what if a map of the brain could help us decode people’s inner thoughts? This very interesting information came to us from the Berkeley News in…
Read MoreFinding the Benefits
There are many aspects of data management that depend upon the utility of graph databases. Unfortunately, users are still unclear as to their full benefit. Graph databases first gained prominence with social media and facets of sentiment analysis and then gained street cred by provisioning ‘360 degree views’ of customer and product information in master…
