Episode notes
AI Beats Radiologists
- Varun Godbole co-authored a Nature paper on AI for breast cancer screening.
- The AI system outperformed expert radiologists at predicting tumors.
Systematizing Neural Networks
- Training neural networks can be an ad-hoc, experimental process. Systematizing this process, like the Deep Learning Tuning Playbook, is crucial for engineering.
Early Code Generation
- Code generation research, even before ChatGPT, showed promise. Tools like GitHub Copilot demonstrate its value for improving developer productivity.
