Researchers have devised a deep-learning algorithm that uses AI prediction techniques to forecast cardiovascular risk based on scans of patients’ retinas. A team of researchers from Google, Verily Life Sciences and the Stanford School of Medicine trained their deep-learning algorithm using data from 284,335 patients. The algorithms were able to predict cardiovascular (CV) issues with...

With the new features of Tagbox it is possible to build your own classifier, to help you to do image recognition. But another important feature that we are going to explore is the image similarity endpoint /tagbox/similar to make a Search Engine and get images that are similar to each other. With that endpoint you will...
