Provably exact artificial intelligence for nuclear and particle physics – MIT News
The Standard Model of particle physics describes all the known elementary particles and three of the four fundamental forces governing the universe; everything except gravity. These three forces — electromagnetic, strong, and weak — govern how particles are formed, how they interact, and how the particles decay. Studying particle and nuclear physics within this framework, however, is difficult, and relies on…
St. Luke’s Lehighton Pioneers Artificial Intelligence in X-Rays – PRNewswire
The algorithm-based software was uploaded to the hospital’s GE X-ray machine. This software enables the machine to identify an X-ray that may contain a pneumothorax and alert the imaging team to prioritize that study, so a physician will quickly see the image and diagnose the abnormality before it becomes a danger to a patient. A…
