17-year old Brittany Wegner was the winner of Google Science Fair 2012, for her project, building a breast cancer detection system!
The young girl from Florida (USA), created an intelligent system, which analyzes tissue and detects breast cancer with 99.1% success!
In particular, Miss Wegner created an artificial neural network applying Java,
in order to carry 7.6 million tests (!).
"The greater the volume of data analyzed, the higher is the success
rate”, she stated, giving the belief that the system is ready for medical use.
Another interesting part of this story, is that Miss Wegner started planning and building the aforementioned intelligent system when she was in the 1st grade of Grammar school, working on a school project.
