Researchers recently have looked at the question of biopsies, cancerous biopsies, and they've asked the computer to identify by looking at the data and survival rates to determine whether cells are actually cancerous or not, and sure enough, when you throw the data at it, through a machine-learning algorithm, the machine was able to identify the 12 telltale signs that best predict that this biopsy of the breast cancer cells are indeed cancerous.
Forskere har for nyligt set på spørgsmålet vedrørende biopsier, kræft-biopsier, og de har bedt en computer  om at identificere ved at kigge på data og overlevelsesrater for at afgøre, om celler rent faktisk er kræft eller ej, og ganske rigtigt, når man smider data efter det, gennem en maskinlært algoritme, var maskinen i stand til at identificere de 12 indikatorer, der bedst kan forudsige om denne biopsi af brystkræftceller rent faktisk er kræft
