Deep neural networks are being used for a number of applications, but how they arrive at their results can sometimes be a black box. Maithra Raghu's research is aimed at understanding that black box and applying it to healthcare problems. In particular her work is aimed at determining whether a patient is likely to be misdiagnosed for a particular condition and thus in need of a second opinion. In 2018, she was chosen as one of Forbes' 30 Under 30 in science.
