Cool. Looks like there will be a lot coming through the pipeline in this space, given the open nature of the machine learning community.

There was another Kaggle competition on lung cancer that recently finished up, and the winner shared their code.

Is your plan to take things like this and put them through the required red tape?

What are you doing to raise funds?

Thanks for the kind message. There are excellent teams doing Kaggle competitions. I tried last fall to make some students aware of Kaggle but they were not interested.

We did not try to raise funds, it was difficult when there was nothing concrete to show. But now we can show a simple app that can classify a heart sound as normal or not. For example in [0] there is a ultra simple app (one button!) that classified my heart sounds as not normal, in less than one second.

I am thinking about making a kickstarter in December or next January to rise awareness about the detector and to raise some money.
