Abstract

A system for recording, storing and processing diagnostic information, including: a computer implementing a computer-readable media including digital data and ground truth; a registry constructed and arranged to store and associate transactions or accesses on the data; and a machine learning system that considers each learning step modification a microtransaction for the data used in that step and which is recorded in the transaction registry. Other embodiments of this aspect include corresponding computer systems, apparatus, and computer programs recorded on one or more computer storage devices, each configured to perform the actions of the methods.

Claims (35)

1. A method comprising:

registering a plurality of training images on a distributed ledger, each training image labeled with truth data; and

training a machine learning model using the plurality of training images, the training comprising:

as the machine learning model is trained, recording each of a plurality of modifications of the machine learning model that are attributable to a given training image as a microtransaction to the distributed ledger in association with the given training image.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the machine learning model is a neural network.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the truth data for a given training image comprises diagnostic data associated with the given training image.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the machine learning model is trained to output a diagnosis of one or more medical conditions.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the given training image is an image of a patient, and wherein the diagnostic data comprises one or more medical conditions of the patient at a time when the image was captured.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the truth data comprises information about an entity that determined the diagnostic data based on interactions with the patient.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

applying an image associated as input to a machine learning model; and

receiving, as output from the machine learning model, a prediction of a condition associated with the image.

8. A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising memory with instructions encoded thereon, the instructions, when executed, causing one or more processors to perform operations, the instructions comprising instructions to:

register a plurality of training images on a distributed ledger, each training image labeled with truth data; and

train a machine learning model using the plurality of training images, the training comprising:

as the machine learning model is trained, recording each of a plurality of modifications of the machine learning model that are attributable to a given training image as a microtransaction to the distributed ledger in association with the given training image.

9. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the machine learning model is a neural network.

10. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the truth data for a given training image comprises diagnostic data associated with the given training image.

11. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the machine learning model is trained to output a diagnosis of one or more medical conditions.

12. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the given training image is an image of a patient, and wherein the diagnostic data comprises one or more medical conditions of the patient at a time when the image was captured.

13. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 12 , wherein the truth data comprises information about an entity that determined the diagnostic data based on interactions with the patient.

14. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 8 , the instructions further comprising instructions to:

apply an image associated as input to a machine learning model; and

receive, as output from the machine learning model, a prediction of a condition associated with the image.

15. A system comprising:

memory with instructions encoded thereon; and

one or more processors that, when executing the instructions, are caused to perform operations comprising:

registering a plurality of training images on a distributed ledger, each training image labeled with truth data; and

training a machine learning model using the plurality of training images, the training comprising:

as the machine learning model is trained, recording each of a plurality of modifications of the machine learning model that are attributable to a given training image as a microtransaction to the distributed ledger in association with the given training image.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the machine learning model is a neural network.

17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the truth data for a given training image comprises diagnostic data associated with the given training image.

18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the machine learning model is trained to output a diagnosis of one or more medical conditions.

19. The system of claim 17 , wherein the given training image is an image of a patient, and wherein the diagnostic data comprises one or more medical conditions of the patient at a time when the image was captured.

20. The system of claim 19 , wherein the truth data comprises information about an entity that determined the diagnostic data based on interactions with the patient.
