| Jing - My name is Jing Wang. I am from China where I finished Grade 10 last year and I am now studying in North Toronto C.I. I am especially interested in computation and logic, which has led to considerable abilities of mine in mathematics and computer science. In the past years, I have achieved great results in math contests such as AIME, Fermat, Euclid and those in China. Moreover, in the field of computer science, I have been able to use programming languages in my favour since Grade 10. So far, I have written several applications including games, problem solvers, puzzle templates and my current project with Yiyuan Ma --- cancer detection AI. I was inspired to begin this project by the knowledge of automatically-learning computer programs which made me think of having them learn something helpful. In the future, I am going to attempt to develop my own algorithm of artificial intelligence so as to promote its effectiveness and accuracy. I would suggest that students thinking about doing a project first make sure that they really have strong interest in what they will do, which can give them courage and determination to overcome difficulties throughout their projects. | | Yi Yuan - I am a grade 11 high school student in North Toronto Collegiate Institute. I have a passion for improving health care diagnosis by using innovative technology. My partner and I were inspired to create a breast cancer detection AI after hearing about the inaccurate and slow process in developing pathology reports. Thus, we decided to use AI to solve this pressing problem. |

Cancer Detection with Artificial Intelligence
| Challenge: | Health | | Category: | Senior | | Region: | Toronto | | City: | Toronto, ON, North York, ON | | School: | North Toronto | | Abstract: | Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. However, its diagnosis could be delayed due to time-consuming and inaccurate biopsy interpretation. To solve this problem, we designed a machine learning program to inform pathologists of potential malignant tumours, greatly reducing the likelihood of misdiagnosis and increasing interpretation efficiency. |
