3 – NIH Develops AI that Can Help With Cervical Cancer Screening
According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), cervical cancer is third most common cancer among women and the second most frequent cause of cancer-related death, with 80% of cervical cancer cases occurring in developing nations with limited access to cervical cancer screening.
To help alleviate the problem, researchers from the NIH and intellectual Ventures Global Good Fund developed a deep learning-based proof-of-concept that can automatically evaluate cervical images for cancer.

1 – TITAN RTX Slashes Time for Detecting Osteoporosis
Sometimes simply upgrading your GPU can lead to massive performance improvements. The most recent example comes from a team of researchers at Dartmouth College who upgraded from a TITAN Xp GPU to the newly released NVIDIA TITAN RTX.
Running their existing code on the new GPU, the team achieved an 80% performance increase when training a pair of neural networks to detect osteoporotic vertebral fractures.
