Deep Learning, Health-care, and the Potential for Fraud
/via https://bit.ly/2F8W8oY You’ve seen the news about Deep Learning and Health Care, right? About how image classification using these algorithms is turning out to be better than doctors (•) in identifying issues in fields like pathology , ophthalmology , and radiology ? It does sound like good news from a diagnosis perspective, with more accurate results resulting in earlier intervention, better treatment options, improvement in health care, and so on. But, there are humans involved in this process, humans who are deeply embedded in the health-care industry — the same industry that make billions and billions of dollars in profits based on a crazy-quilt of complexity when it comes to providing services (in the US at least). And that’s before we even begin to think about fraud and abuse. Lets stick with image classification. We know that there is an entire universe of adversarial attacks , at...
