Cats Cured of Covid: Why some deep learning models thought cats had Covid

Neural networks are famously bad at interpreting input that falls outside the training set’s distribution, so it’s not surprising that some models are certain that cat pictures show symptoms of Covid-19. A new approach won’t mistakenly condemn your feline to a quarantine.

Seeing Straight at Any Rotation: Dense Steerable Filter CNN (DSF-CNN) identifies rotated images.

A cat rotated by any number of degrees is still a cat. It takes a lot of rotated training images to teach convolutional filters this simple fact. A new filter design has this common-sense knowledge built-in.

Human-Level X-Ray Diagnosis: A research summary of CheXbert for labeling chest x-rays

Like nurses who can’t decipher a doctor’s handwriting, machine learning models can’t decipher medical scans — without labels. Conveniently, natural language models can read medical records to extract labels for X-ray images.
