New Show Hacker News story: Launch HN: Centaur Labs (YC W19) – Labeling Medical Images at Scale

Launch HN: Centaur Labs (YC W19) – Labeling Medical Images at Scale
58 by erikduhaime | 22 comments on Hacker News.
Hello HN! We are Erik, Zach, and Tom, the founders of Centaur Labs ( https://centaurlabs.io ). We’ve built a platform where doctors, other medical professionals, and med students label medical images, improving datasets for AI. The idea grew out of Erik’s research when he was a PhD student at MIT’s Center for Collective Intelligence. In short, he found that by aggregating the opinions of multiple people--even including some people with little or no medical expertise--they could reliably distinguish cancerous moles from benign ones better than individual dermatologists. The three of us have been friends since we were undergrads. When we would chat about Erik’s research, it seemed like a no-brainer that there’d be demand for more accurate diagnoses. We all had our frustrations that as patients, you usually have to trust one doctor’s opinion. So we built a mobile app called DiagnosUs where users around the world analyze medical images and videos. Many are doctors who simply enjoy looking at cases or want to improve their skills. Other users like competing with their peers, seeing themselves on our leader boards, and winning cash prizes in our competitions. Different people (and algorithms) have different skills. Using data on how our users perform on cases with “gold standard” answers, we train a machine-learning model to identify how differently-skilled people complement each other and cover each other’s blind spots. The more we learn about our users’ skills and expertise, the better we get at aggregating their opinions. It is a bit like putting together the optimal trivia team: you don’t just need the five best people, you need someone who is good at pop culture, someone who knows sports, etc. Experts trained in the same way often have the same blind spots, so outcomes improve when you include a range of opinions. We initially thought we’d go straight to providing opinions on demand for consumers like ourselves. There aren’t nearly enough doctors to meet the demand around the world to have everyone’s medical images analyzed. But it didn’t take long to realize that our fledgling startup wasn’t yet prepared to deal with the regulatory issues that would entail. Meanwhile, we’d been hearing for years that AI was on the verge of replacing radiology, but it seemed like the hype didn’t match the reality. Many companies trying to develop medical AI are impeded by bad data. They try to hire doctors to go through thousands or millions of images and re-label them, but this has proven hard for them to manage and scale. Our customers have giant medical datasets and want to use them to train AI. But the quality of the data holds them back, and they can’t find nearly enough doctors to label the data accurately. Our platform provides a high volume of labels quickly, and our performance analytics enables us to get highly accurate labels from groups of people with a range of skills. We’d love to hear from anyone working on medical AI who’s faced the challenge of dealing with flawed datasets. If you’re interested in trying our app, you can download DiagnosUs for iOS in the App Store. Thanks for reading!

New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: Turn any WiFi into a persistent group chat

Show HN: Turn any WiFi into a persistent group chat
41 by melvinmt | 26 comments on Hacker News.
Try it out on your WiFi: https://tapchat.com I’ve always been shocked at the fact that it’s easier to chat with someone on the other side of the world than with someone who is on the exact same WiFi as you. I think that is a shame because WiFi networks are essentially a bunch of existing micro-communities which your phone already automatically connects to. Think about how many other people have used or will use the same WiFi as you at home, school, work, or in public; and so far it has been practically impossible to chat or share pictures with them. After leaving my job earlier this year, I decided to work on a simple chat app that solves this problem, by simply opening a persistent group chat for every WiFi you connect to, which allows for long-lasting conversations and meaningful relationships everywhere you go. So far a great use case I've seen are college campuses where thousands of students connect to the same WiFi, and who can now all chat with each other. I'd love to see what else this can or will be used for. (Spoiler alert: the app doesn’t bother with mesh networks) Feedback is much appreciated! (the gentle kind)

Ask HN: Applied ml vs. Sde in an ML platform team for career growth
2 by palashkulsh | 0 comments on Hacker News.
People who have been in the industry for a while, what would you recommend a junior starting out his career to do. I have an applied scientist and an sde in an ML team offer from Amazon. The SDE role would involve around building the infra / services to scale the ML models and deal with things like metrics, logging, alarms, etc. The applied scientist role would be an ML role in which I get to train models and write inference code in production. This would involve reading a lot of papers. I do not have a PhD but have a strong master's background and do think that I'll be able to do both jobs well. I have been told that distributed systems is mostly a solved problem and ai would offer rapid growth but would like to hear the opinion of people who have had few years in the industry. My long term goal is to move into leadership roles like VP, CTO of small companies where I can create impact and define product vision. Can choosing ML over systems affect that?
