VinBrain won the international award “ACM SIGAI Industry 2021 for the best artificial intelligence product”

This is the world’s leading prestigious award in the field of artificial intelligence and is awarded to only one AI product per year. It is expected that the award will be awarded at the International Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI) taking place from August 19-26, 2021 in Canada. In 2019, the award was given to Microsoft Corporation.

The ACM SIGAI Industry Award is one of the most prestigious awards in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) awarded annually to individuals or entities who succeed in turning scientific research into practical applications. use AI in practice. The award is awarded by ACM SIGAI, a specialized group on Artificial Intelligence belonging to the Association of Computers (ACM) – the world’s largest computer science and education community, established in 1947 with nearly 100,000 members from around the world. global science and technology organization.

The ACM SIGAI Industry Award has been awarded since 2019 to the first winning team from Microsoft, led by the famous AI scientist John Langford (who has an H-Index of 71 – an index of the influence of scientific publications). worldwide with more than 41,000 citations) leads. Awards for 2020 on hold due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In 2021, the award is restarted and honorably awarded to a Vietnamese Make-in product: “DrAid for Radiology” developed by VinBrain.

“DrAid for Radiology” – AI Physician Assistant for Medical Imaging is the first product of VinBrain and also the first complete AI product of Vietnamese healthcare to launch its first version on 14/02. 06/2020. The product is capable of detecting and screening over 21 abnormal signs and pathologies of Lung – Heart – Bone within 5 seconds with an accuracy of over 89%; and can share diagnostic results via QR code or link. In particular, the product has the ability to self-warn COVID-19, including asymptomatic cases or mild lung injury based on straight chest X-ray, combined with PCR test to improve accuracy, reduce false negatives… DrAid also features “Ask 2nd Doctor (remote)”. Through sharing images directly from DrAid, doctors can remotely consult with colleagues or consult with leading experts without being affected by geographical barriers.

DrAid was highly appreciated by the ACM SIGAI Jury because the product has combined and applied the most advanced techniques in the field of artificial intelligence such as multi-class classification, inference by local structure to overview, learning. active, adversarial training, complex convolutional neural network, speech recognition for automatic medical report editing, lesion localization on Medical images with machine learning using AI-based high technology on models with hundreds of millions of pixel parameters and big data of millions of images with millions of pixels each, and many other techniques to create an artificial intelligence service for Y. comprehensive economy.

The community of world-famous scientists also appreciates DrAid especially in terms of practical applications. Among them are particularly outstanding faces including: Professor Andrew Ng – Top 4 AI scientists in the world, Stanford University. Professor Andrew Ng is also the co-founder of Google Brain and Coursera and a pioneer of online AI education that affects 77 million users. In addition, there is also Professor, Doctor of Medical Imaging Curtis Langlotz – Stanford University; Professor Al Pisano – Dean of Jacobs School of Engineering, University of California San Diego (UCSD), co-chair of the VinFuture Prize Preliminary Committee…

As the only product to be awarded in 2021, DrAid has proven VinBrain’s ability and pioneering position in the application of AI to healthcare in Vietnam, affirming its competitiveness on par with other products. technology in the same industry in the world. Currently, DrAid is being deployed in 84 hospitals and medical facilities in Vietnam, including leading hospitals such as Hue Central Hospital, University Hospital of Medicine and Pharmacy in Ho Chi Minh City, Vinmec International General Hospital System, and more. Thai Nguyen Central Hospital….
