Section Status: Will deep learning transform the study of human disease?

[cgreene]

This feels like it's becoming dated. We should consider between the options of:

• Cut
• Update
• Expand

If we decide to Update/Expand, do you feel it would be best to stick with the current taxonomy of "Disease and Patient Categorization, Fundamental Biological Study, and Treatment of Patients" or do you think that it's still sufficiently broad enough to capture the vast majority of applications and work?

I am siding with cutting this section because it does sound a little outdated. That being said, I think we should retain some sort of short judgement or summary of the applicability/transformative potential or current state of deep learning.

Thanks @evancofer and @cgreene . I, too, am OK with cutting it in favor of a brief, update summary. Do we then retain the current section headers/organization (e.g. 2. Deep Learning and Patient Categorization 3. Deep Learning to Study the Fundamental Biological Processes....etc.) as the guideposts for our update or come up with another way of organizing?
