Bridging the Patient-Physician Gap with ML and Expert Systems w/ Xavier Amatriain - #316

The TWIML AI Podcast (formerly This Week in Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence)

Today we’re joined by return guest Xavier Amatriain, Co-founder and CTO of Curai, whose goal is to make healthcare accessible and scaleable while bringing down costs. In our conversation, we touch on the shortcomings of traditional primary care, and how Curai fills that role, and some of the unique challenges his team faces in applying ML in the healthcare space. We also discuss the use of expert systems, how they train them, and how NLP projects like BERT and GPT-2 fit into what they’re building.
