Formerly, VP of AI at PathAI, Butterfly @ ML Executive

Nathan is a seasoned technology leader with deep expertise in machine learning. Most recently, Nathan was the VP of Machine Learning at PathAI where his organization was responsible for developing state-of-the-art machine learning models that interpret gigapixel-scale pathology images to identify tissue types, discover novel biomarkers, and produce clinical and diagnostic results. Prior to PathAI, Nathan was the VP of Artificial Intelligence at Butterfly Network where he led the development of a suite of real-time ultrasound products that assist clinicians in acquiring and interpreting diagnostic images. Nathan also previously worked at Google Research where he co-developed an internal library that became the Google TensorFlow 1.0 API. He obtained his PhD and BA from New York University.

SUMMARY

Interpretation of pathology slides is a crucial part of diagnosing disease and an increasingly important part of drug discovery and drug development pipelines. The massive and ever-growing volume of data being produced for each of these areas has led to increased interest in harnessing machine learning in order to produce new biological insights, discover novel biomarkers, steer patient selection for clinical trials, and improve diagnostic accuracy. Effectively training and deploying computer vision models to interpret pathology images must overcome a massive hurdle: pathology slides are typically 100,000 x 100,000 pixels each, many orders of magnitude larger than is typical in computer vision pipelines. However, a number of approaches have been developed over the last few years which have made automatic interpretation of pathology slides not just feasible but a valuable tool used by many healthcare companies around the world. ML Executive; Formerly, VP of AI at PathAI, Butterfly, Nathan Silberman walks attendees through a number of these novel and creative approaches.
