Questions & Answers

Q: How do deep learning algorithms detect toxicity in chemical structures?

Deep learning algorithms analyze the structures of chemicals and can identify toxic properties more efficiently than humans who specialized in this field. They automate the process that previously required decades of work.

Q: How do convolutional neural networks outperform radiologists in mitosis detection?

By using convolutional neural networks, large images can be analyzed to detect harmful cell transformations, a process called mitosis. These networks have shown better results than professional radiologists in identifying mitosis instances.

Q: How do learning algorithms identify paid content disguised as real content?

Learning algorithms can read websites and distinguish between paid content and real content. They have surpassed human capabilities in identifying disguised paid content, which was previously believed to require very smart humans to detect.

Q: How do learning algorithms generate new footage for video games?

Learning algorithms, specifically recurrent neural networks, examine existing video games to understand how they work. Using this knowledge, they generate new footage for these games, essentially creating virtual experiences out of thin air.
