| Paige details first AI pathology tech with clinical-grade accuracy in new research paper
|
| Researchers associated with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and medical tech and computational pathology startup Paige have published a new article in the peer-reviewed medical journal Nature Medicine detailing its artificial intelligence-based detection system for identifying prostate cancer, skin cancer and breast cancer, which the company says achieves "near-perfect accuracy." The tech described in the article, which employs deep learning trained on a data set of almost 45,000 slide images taken from more than 15,000 patients spanning 44 countries, is novel in that it can eschew the need to curate data sets for training first, which greatly decreases cost and time required to build accurate AI-based diagnostic tools. Last February, Paige announced $25 million in Series A funding and a partnership with Memorial Sloan Kettering Center (MSK) to gain access to one of the largest single repositories of pathology slides in the world. MSK is also home to the lab of Dr. Thomas Fuchs, Paige's co-founder ...

More oil came up, but again, the financial returns did not follow.…

| The Only OPEC Member That Could Challenge Saudi Oil Dominance
|
| In line with its targets for increasing crude oil production to 6.2 million barrels per day (bpd) by end-2020 and 9 million bpd by end-2023, up from the current 4.6 million bpd or so and on a par with Saudi Arabia's output, Iraq has made it clear to foreign and domestic oil field developers alike that increases must be made or contracts will be reviewed. Three key fields are currently in the spotlight – Rumaila, West Qurna 1, and Gharraf – with more to follow shortly. Ongoing infrastructure constraints, however, may continue to…
