Many of us in the software community know that if the feedback loop isn't fast enough, it doesn't work.

I wonder if you made mammographers spend a day a week analyzing mammograms from 5 years ago and then showing them the outcomes if they would get more accurate?

Well, that’s pretty much like training a neural network, except that the integration of the matrix coefficients happens not from the immediate output data, but from data which was output by the network millions of epochs ago.

Giving them the information could certainly help, and it is a good first step.

Mammographers would still be missing the motivation surgeons get when they see a patient die hours or days later. The emotional kick in the pants is harder to provide.
