How AI Can Enhance the Clinical Data Review and Cleaning Process
Ensuring that clinical trial data is accurate and that clinical trials are safe and effective, is a time-consuming and a manually intensive process. Many life sciences companies have implemented home-grown or off-the-shelf clinical data review platforms and defined the reviewing and cleaning processes to be used with them. Many of these systems have proven to […]
The Importance of Reinforcement Learning
A few years ago, BBC Earth highlighted a memory test performed by a Chimpanzee named Ayumu. The Chimp displayed traits of machine learning (ML) when it was shown the numbers 1 to 9 in a randomized order on a screen and able to correctly remember the sequence when the numbers disappeared almost 90% of the […]
Executive Introduction to Machine Learning – How To Make Predictions
In my previous article (see Executive Introduction to Machine Learning), I provided a concise, jargon-free introduction to what is machine learning. I basically described it as four steps: 1) Take data in; 2) Run it through an algorithm to make a prediction; 3) help the machine learn to make better predictions; 4) predict something based […]

BigDL – An Open Source Framework for Deep Learning
We have been familiar with machine learning for several years. It has been used in many aspects of business and life such as natural language recognition, fraud detection and autopiloting. While deep learning is a branch of machine learning, it is a big part of the machine learning family based on data representation other than […]
Machine Learning in Local with Microsoft CNTK Package
In July 2016 there was an international joint conference on artificial intelligence held in New York City where many experts and professors meet together to share their recent research and the commercial use cases. Machine learning (ML), deep learning(DL) and natural language processing (NLP) were the hot topics on the agenda. There are some interesting […]
