Advancing Cancer Research With Public Imaging Datasets From The National Cancer Institute Imaging Data Commons

Medical imaging offers remarkable opportunities in research for advancing our understanding of cancer, discovering new non-invasive methods for its detection, and improving overall patient care. Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), in particular, have been key in unlocking our ability to use this imaging data as part of cancer research. Development of AI-powered research approaches, however, requires access to large quantities of high quality imaging data. Sample images from NCI Imaging Data Commons.Left: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the prostate (credit: http://doi.org/10.7937/K9/TCIA.2018.MR1CKGND), along with the annotations of the prostate gland and substructures.Right: highly-multiplexed fluorescence tissue imaging of melanoma (credit: https://humantumoratlas.org/hta7/).

How UX Researchers Make Google Cloud Better With User Feedback

Customer experiences are critical to user experience (UX) researchers at every level of developing Google Cloud products. Whether it’s migrating a user to Google Cloud, helping them understand it once they are there, or delving into using Cloud services, one thing is clear: learning from the people who use Google Cloud is fundamental. Understanding our users UX researchers touch various points of the customer journey, like migration, cloud operations, and data analytics. In each of these areas, understanding the customer’s business needs and goals grants the UX researcher greater insight into how to provide the best possible experience. This is…

How Organizations Can Rethink Their Approach To Time Management Coaching

As business leaders evaluate their hybrid work models, employee productivity is top of mind. They’re trying to understand how to balance organizational needs for productivity with employee needs for autonomy, flexibility, and work/life balance. In my role as Google’s Productivity Advisor, I help organizations and employees realize that being productive means working smartly and efficiently — not overworking. And one key to productivity is developing strong time management skills. Recent research found that 82% of workers don’t have a proper time management system, however. Instead, they rely on making lists, referencing their inbox, or simply winging it. And the result…

Reimagining AutoML With Google Research: Announcing Vertex AI Tabular Workflows

Earlier this year, we shared details about our collaboration with USAA, a leading provider of insurance and financial services to U.S. military members and veterans, who leveraged AutoML models to accelerate the claims process. Boasting a peak 28% improvement relative to baseline models, the automated solution USAA and Google Cloud produced can predict labor costs and car part repair/replace decisions based on photos of damaged vehicles, potentially redefining how claims are assessed and handled. This use case combines a variety of technologies that extend well beyond the insurance industry, among them a particularly sophisticated approach to tabular data, or data…

Garvan And Google Cloud Help Solve Australia’s Health Challenges With Genomics Sequencing

Leading Australian biomedical research institution demonstrates the power of cloud-based genomic processing with Google Cloud   Sydney, Australia, May 23, 2022 – Google Cloud and The Garvan Institute of Medical Research (Garvan) today announced a milestone in Australia’s pathway to deploying genomic medicine. In an Australian-first, the organizations collaborated on the largest genome sequencing sample ever performed in Australia, processing 14,000 genomes in less than two weeks. This is a significant step forward for genomic research, which proves the power of cloud-based genomic processing and its potential to lead to earlier diagnoses, interventions, and targeted treatments of gene-related health issues. Google Cloud supported Garvan…

Intel And Lenovo Research Finds Tech Is Essential To Driving Global Diversity And Inclusion

The first release of a new global research report from Intel and Lenovo finds that technology will play an integral role in achieving diversity and inclusion (D&I) in the workplace of the future. With the power to bridge accessibility gaps, connect people who are otherwise divided, and expand the benefits of upskilling and progressive training programs, tech is enabling people to work in more dynamic, flexible ways. The study explores how people around the world view D&I in their personal and professional lives, and their perspective on the role technology plays to address systematic inequities, create more access and enable…

Your Computer Can Help Scientists Seeking Potential COVID-19 Treatments

IBM announced that anyone in the world with a PC, laptop or Mac and an Internet connection could help scientists seek chemical compounds that might be effective against COVID-19. To do so, volunteers’ devices will perform small, virtual experiments to identify chemical compounds, including those in existing medicines, that could potentially be used as treatments candidates for COVID-19. Compounds that show promise for treating COVID-19 will undergo further testing and analysis. The project, designed and led by Scripps Research, will be hosted on IBM’s World Community Grid, a trusted, crowdsourced computing resource provided at no charge for scientists. Volunteers download an app that…

Giving Cryptocurrency Users More Bang For Their Buck

A new cryptocurrency-routing scheme co-invented by MIT researchers can boost the efficiency — and, ultimately, profits — of certain networks designed to speed up notoriously slow blockchain transactions. Cryptocurrencies hold promise for peer-to-peer financial transactions, potentially making banks and credit cards obsolete. But there’s a scalability issue: Bitcoin, for instance, processes only a handful of transactions per second, while major credit cards process hundreds or thousands. That’s because the blockchain — the digital ledger cryptocurrencies are built on — takes a really long time to process transactions. A new solution is “payment channel networks” (PCNs), where transactions are completed with…

National Science Foundation Awards Grant to Develop Next-Generation Cloud Computing Testbed Powered by Red Hat

Red Hat, Inc., the world’s leading provider of open source solutions, announced last December 18 that the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Computer and Network Systems has awarded a grant to a research team from Boston University, Northeastern University and the University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass) to help fund the development of a national cloud testbed for research and development of new cloud computing platforms. By providing capabilities that currently are only available to researchers within a few large commercial cloud providers, the new testbed will allow diverse communities to exploit these technologies, thus ‘democratizing’ cloud-computing research and allowing increased…
