An upgrade in The University of Queensland’s artificial intelligence capabilities could help to revolutionise pathology laboratories across Australia.
Professor Brian Lovell said UQ’s high-performance computer, Weiner, was now able to deliver unprecedented performance for image processing and deep learning algorithms, allowing advancements in digital pathology.
“We’ve also managed to run a number of graphics processing units in parallel, speeding up artificial intelligence training to run up to hundreds of times faster than before,” Professor Lovell said.
Sullivan Nicolaides Pathology (SNP) CEO Dr Michael Harrison said the developments would bring a number of benefits for the industry, with almost 70 per cent of general practitioner diagnoses based on pathology tests.
