When will computer vision surpass human vision? It’s happening right now: at Google, at Tesla, and right here at Stanford Bio-X. Using novel machine learning algorithms, Akshay is training computers to determine the malignancy of indeterminate lung tumors. Currently, radiologists cannot accurately classify these nodules, but, by going beyond human vision, these algorithms will aid doctors in making crucial clinical decisions.
