Congratulations, Yuheng Wang, for publishing his work on content-based image processing. This is the best AI system so far for automatically retrieving images with similar diagnoses from a database. The main contribution of the proposed system is that it can work with databases of multiple data types while avoiding the problem of dimensionality bias between different modalities.
