Fetch.ai And Poland’s PSNC Partner To Develop AI-Powered Collective Learning Module For Cancer Cell Detection
Fetch.ai, a Cambridge-based artificial intelligence lab building an open-access decentralized machine learning network for smart infrastructure, announced that Poland’s Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center (PSNC) will be joining its Collective Learning initiative. This partnership will allow PSNC to use and contribute data to train algorithms that can be used by hospitals and research centers worldwide to identify and detect circulating cancer cells in patients’ blood or tissue biopsies in the upcoming future.
On Fetch.ai’s Collective Learning Module, distributed parties can work together to train machine learning models using blockchain technology and AI learning capabilities without sharing the underlying data or trusting any of the individual participants. It was most recently deployed to identify COVID-19 cases using chest X-ray images establishing a clear distinction between COVID-19 versus pneumonia cases. The collective learning protocol successfully distinguished COVID-19 patients from those with pneumonia from different causes with an accuracy of 97%.
