Medical AI

Medical AI brings together our reporting on machine learning for clinical and biomedical problems, from diagnosis and prognosis to medical image analysis and decision support. Because mistakes in this domain carry a human cost, we pay close attention to evaluation, calibration, uncertainty, and the gap between benchmark numbers and bedside reliability. Expect grounded explainers of recent research rather than uncritical product announcements.
