Combining Objective and Subjective Perspectives for Political News Understanding

Combining Objective and Subjective Perspectives for Political News Understanding

arXiv:2408.11174v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Researchers and practitioners interested in computational politics rely on automatic content analysis tools to make sense of the large amount of political texts available on the Web. Such tools should provide objective and subjective aspects at different granularity levels to make the analyses useful in practice. Existing methods produce interesting insights for objective aspects, but are limited for subjective ones, are often limited to national contexts, and have limited explainability. We introduce a text analysis framework which integrates both perspectives and provides a fine-grained processing of subjective aspects. Information retrieval techniques and knowledge bases complement…

Significance of Video Annotation in Training Computer Vision Models

Significance of Video Annotation in Training Computer Vision Models

In today’s dynamic digital landscape, data is pivotal in fueling innovations in artificial intelligence (AI). Video annotation is critical for advancements in AI through computer vision. Moreover, the training data must be customized per the AI model’s training requirements for developing AI and machine learning (ML) applications.    Video annotation aids ML models in detecting objects and memorizing particular patterns to make predictions. It boosts machine-learning algorithms in interpreting complex visuals using descriptive markers.    It also significantly trains computer vision models in fields such as autonomous vehicles, intelligent retail checkouts, drones, and more.    Read the blog below to…

Mike Lynch obituary

Mike Lynch obituary

Mike Lynch, who has died aged 59 in the wreck of his yacht, was sometimes described as “Britain’s Bill Gates”. It was a huge exaggeration, but Lynch could claim two parallels with Gates: he developed world-leading technology (in his case in machine learning or AI) and, unlike so many UK scientists, he learned how to turn it into commercial success.Such was this success that his company, Autonomy, was valued at $11bn when he sold it to Hewlett-Packard in 2011, but the fall-out from the sale would come to overshadow his technological achievements, and lead to a national debate about the circumstances…
