HKUST Spearheads Four Large AI Models to Revolutionize Healthcare | PR Newswire [Video]

, /PRNewswire/ — In a groundbreaking initiative, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has unveiled four AI-driven models poised to transform the medical and healthcare fields. These AI models can assist both general and specialist medical practitioners in diagnosing and prognosing up to 30 types of cancers and diseases, with some achieving accuracy comparable to that of medical experts with five years of experience or more.

Supported by the University’s new AI supercomputing facility, which offers robust computing power, these large AI models surpass many existing systems due to their foundation on extensive data sets and novel machine training strategies.  Prof. CHEN Hao, Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering and project lead, said that one model processed over 160 million images across 32 cancer types for pathological diagnostic tasks.

The four models include:

• MOME (Breast Cancer Diagnosis) –This is the first adaptation of a large foundation model for 3D mpMRI fusion. Targeting breast cancer, one of the most prevalent …
