Marek Rychlik is a professor of mathematics at the University of Arizona. Today he joined us with his colleague Beaker Tanriover, UA professor of medicine, to discuss their exciting collaboration on the topic of organ transplants. The current organ transplant system is an archaic one built on a "database" of PDFs -- all of different formats and scan qualities -- ordered by some totally arbitrary "metric" (it is not a topological metric) based on a linear regression study performed in the 80s. Basically it's a horrible mess. Marek and Beaker are trying to radically transform and modernize it using optical image recognition and other machine learning techniques, mixed with natural language processing. This is a very important project and we hope you enjoy their presentation!
