Pathologist-level Interpretable Whole-Slide Cancer Diagnosis with Deep Learning
Researchers present a novel pathology whole-slide diagnosis method, powered by artificial intelligence, to address the lack of interpretable diagnosis. The proposed method masters the ability to automate the human-like diagnostic reasoning process and translate gigapixels directly to a series of interpretable predictions.

Adversarial Examples Aren’t Bugs, They’re Features
In the new paper Adversarial Examples Are Not Bugs, They Are Features, a group of MIT researchers propose that adversarial examples’ effectiveness can be attributed to non-robustness: “Adversarial vulnerability is a direct result of our models’ sensitivity to well-generalizing features in the data.”
