Massachusetts-Based Scientists Look To The Future Of Big Data In Medical Uses
Circle Connections: New Products & Services "Big data" refers not only to the deluge of data produced by the proliferation of Internet-connected, sensor-studded portable devices, but also to innovative techniques for analyzing that data. Certainly, the term was in heavy use around MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), which in 2012 launched a new big-data initiative called bigdata@CSAIL. Several of the researchers affiliated with bigdata@CSAIL are developing new techniques for processing medical data, to make it more accessible to both physicians and patients and to find correlations that could improve diagnosis or . . .
