WHERE IS DATA SCIENCE APPLIED? INTRODUCTION: Data scientists have changed almost every industry. In medicine, their algorithms help predict patient side effects. In sports, their models and metrics have redefined “athletic potential.” Data science applications have even tackled traffic, with route-optimizing models that capture typical rush hours and weekend lulls. VARIOUS APPLICATIONS OF DATA SCIENCE: Google: Machine-Learning for Metastasis How it’s using data science: Google hasn’t abandoned applying data science to health care. In fact, the company has developed a new tool, LYNA, for identifying breast cancer tumors that metastasize to nearby lymph nodes. That can be difficult for the human eye to see, especially when the new cancer growth is small. In one trial, LYNA — short for Lymph Node Assistant —accurately identified metastatic cancer 99 percent of the time using its machine-learning algorithm. More testing is required, however, before doctors can use it in hospital...
