More thoughts about the project. I think a rule based system may be the way to take the raw data and present this in a usable form to the NN. Still not sure about what to do the project on. Perhaps using AI to examine pathologist workload statistics. To classify different histology specimen types into the 10 different work weight categories depending on the number of blocks taken, the routine, special stains and immunocytochemistry requests on each case etc. I would like to do something in neuropathology. I like the idea of using a artficial neural network to analyse a problem in a real neural network. I need to have a chat with some of the pathologists this week but our Clinical Pathology Accreditation Inspection is on Tuesday and Wednesday so it won't be easy to find the time.
