Data Science: The Next Global Revolution | René Vidal | TEDxJHU

René Vidal, a world leader in computer vision, machine learning, and medical image analysis, is a professor in the department of Biomedical Engineering at the Johns Hopkins University with secondary appointments in Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. The staggering modern digital revolution has resulted in extraordinary advances in how to acquire and process complex data but automatically interpreting and utilizing this data, on par with human abilities, is exceedingly difficult. Dr. Vidal is passionate about his work developing mathematical models that enable computers to see, analyze, and interpret images, videos, and biomedical data which will help to revolutionize the world. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
