Introductions

Hello. My name is Jonah. I'm from Colorado. Currently residing in the Brown dorm and a member of the Duke Quidditch Team. I'm looking at Biomedical Engineering at the moment. This page should be updated soon.

Article

Paul Hsieh explores the recent advances in artificial intelligence and "deep learning" and how it will affect the medical field. In some cases, particularly in cases involving the examination of photos, x-rays, etc, "trained AIs" have performed as well or better than their human counter parts. Hsieh finishes the article by discussing the possibility that these AI's will have the capacity to detect new associations between medical problems and their causes, associations too complex for the human mind.

Favorite Demonstration

I liked the Loma Prieta Earthquake demonstration the best. It was cool to see how Matlab can be given real data and used to find precise information, specifically the velocity of the earthquake in a three-dimensional image.
