Diagnosing Cancer with Machine Learning by Simon van Dyk
Published February 6, 2015 in Programming

Computational intelligence is the art of building artificial intelligence with software. We’ve all reached for metaphors and stories to explain and model difficult concepts in OOP. Join me on a journey through some of the metaphors used to achieve intelligent behaviour. We will explore the inner workings of a neural network and a training algorithm, and show how to build a classifier to predict a cancer diagnosis with high accuracy. Lastly we'll discuss a non-deterministic way of thinking about software, and what the impact could be for what we believe are intelligent machines.
