Automatic summarization will be commonplace across a whole range of applications soon. Great to see @GoogleAI's work on summarization of Google Docs (special kudos to them for also highlighting key challenges in the blog post💯)
Learn how auto-generated summaries were enabled in Google Docs using a #MachineLearning model that comprehends document text and, when confident, generates a natural language summary of the document content. Read more →

(1/2) Check out my latest article w @glynelwyn on @FierceHealth! After spending close to a decade at the intersection of AI+Health, it still baffles me how little of all the AI research/applications/investments in healthcare are focused directly on patients
