Re: Using Google Cloud AutoML to Classify Poisonous Australian Spiders
#2Something like this could actually save lives. Take a photo of what bit you, then the app could provide an answer (with a confidence level) of "do I need to go to the hospital" and provide a few example apps for various matches with level of danger.
Thanks for sharing!

#3This is huge, and it's only an alpha. I begun reading about AutoML/Neural Architecture searches around ~year ago and something I've been thinking about is:
Why doesn't this just move the optimization problem? Aren't you now just optimizing your DeepRL network rather than the network you're trying to optimize?

it's Australia... the answer is always "YES!!!"

I don't know if you get a chance to take a picture of what bites you most of the time... if ML could distinguish between different bites by just looking at skin, that would be incredibly useful.

Agreed with this also!
I wonder how different bites present themselves - if there is enough differentiation to provide a conclusive level feedback.

I don't think it is actually likely to save lives, because spiders very rarely kill. As far as I can tell, there's been one death from a spider bite in Australia in 40 years: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/04/12/young-man-dies-a... .

That’s probably because it’s fairly widely known (in Australia) that if you’re bitten by a red-back or funnel-web spider that you seek medical attention, as you would for a venomous snake. A quickly treated bite is almost never fatal.
The app helps people make the decision as to whether its a harmless spider or something that requires urgent medical attention.

I think if you are bit you should seek medical attention regardless of what an app says.

That is, if you haven't already squished it!
Speaking as an Australian, common spiders which aren't poisonous (e.g., daddy long-legs, huntsmen, little jumpy-guys) is general knowledge. As is the really bad ones (funnel webs, redbacks). If you're bitten by something else, you generally assume it's somewhat poisonous and pay close attention to how you're feeling.
This kind of approach would have more impact for snakes, whose venom can vary significantly -- although hanging around to snap a picture seems dangerous. Perhaps a suggestion system based on salient features?
