TEDx Talks
Artificial Intelligence and it’s promise in predicting cancer outcome: every patient deserves their own equation. Dr. Sahirzeeshan Ali is a research scientist at the Center for Computation Imaging and Personalized Medicine (CCIPD) at Case Western Reserve Medical University and Seidman Cancer Center. Dr. Ali received a bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Rutgers University (2009 & 2011) and a Ph.D in Biomedical Engineering from Case Western Reserve University. He also was the recipient of a Prostate Cancer Research Grant from the Department of Defense in 2014.
Dr. Ali’s research interest lies in developing image analysis, statistical pattern recognition, machine learning and artificial intelligence tools to computationally interrogate biomedical image data of digital pathology tissue images. The tools can be used to predict disease progression and provide a score to clinicians on the aggressiveness of a patient’s disease, such as breast cancer and prostate cancer, which can in turn help physicians decide on appropriate treatment option.
Dr. Ali has written more than 30 peer-reviewed journal, conference and abstract publications, appearing in journals such as Nature Scientific Reports, American Journal of Surgical Pathology, the Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering, Medical Image Analysis, IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging. This research work has also culminated in various commercialized patents.
In addition, Dr. Ali has consulted with hedge funds and fortune 100 companies as a Salesforce architect and machine learning expert. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

sometimes i wonder if it is not more like survival of the shrewdest, the meanest or the most physically strong
Who takes responsibility when the AI goes wrong?
This is VERY GOOD. This Technology should be implemented into the current pathology curriculums. This shouldn't be "A.I vs Pathologists" but should be "A.I and Pathologists"
13:35: the system did pick one stromal cell instead of a tumour cell to design the bottom left green pattern. only pathologist eye can still distinguish this, but overall incredibly interesting.
Beautiful talk and even more beautiful data
