Teen Develops Computer Algorithm to Diagnose Leukemia
“Brittany Wenger isn’t your average high-school senior: She taught the computer how to diagnose leukemia.
The 18-year-old student from Sarasota, Fla. built a custom, cloud-based “artificial neural network” to find patterns in genetic expression profiles to diagnose patients with an aggressive form of cancer called mixed-lineage leukemia (MLL). Simply put, this means Wenger taught the computer how to diagnose leukemia by creating a diagnostic tool for doctors to use.”
Rock.
I assume that’s her corrective algorithm? Because pretty much every teen can do 1/(1+e^x). Still, very cool.

THIS. IS. AMAZING. I love the little smile she gives the conductor after nailing the cadenza! And she doesn’t miss a NOTE!
