Scientists enlist supercomputers, machine learning to automatically identify brain tumors

(University of Texas at Austin, Texas Advanced Computing Center) Researchers from The University of Texas at Austin developed a brain tumor identification method that combines biophysical models of tumor growth with machine learning algorithms. The researchers scored in the top 25% of participants in the Multimodal Brain Tumor Segmentation Challenge 2017 (BRaTS'17) and used supercomputers at the Texas Advanced Computing Center to accelerate the training and analysis process.
