Explainable machine learning multi-label classification of Spanish legal judgements

Explainable machine learning multi-label classification of Spanish legal judgements

[Submitted on 27 May 2024] View a PDF of the paper titled Explainable machine learning multi-label classification of Spanish legal judgements, by Francisco de Arriba-P'erez and 3 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:Artificial Intelligence techniques such as Machine Learning (ML) have not been exploited to their maximum potential in the legal domain. This has been partially due to the insufficient explanations they provided about their decisions. Automatic expert systems with explanatory capabilities can be specially useful when legal practitioners search jurisprudence to gather contextual knowledge for their cases. Therefore, we propose a hybrid system that applies ML for multi-label…

Images altered to trick machine vision can influence humans too

Images altered to trick machine vision can influence humans too

Research Published 2 January 2024 Authors Gamaleldin Elsayed and Michael Mozer New research shows that even subtle changes to digital images, designed to confuse computer vision systems, can also affect human perceptionComputers and humans see the world in different ways. Our biological systems and the artificial ones in machines may not always pay attention to the same visual signals. Neural networks trained to classify images can be completely misled by subtle perturbations to an image that a human wouldn’t even notice.That AI systems can be tricked by such adversarial images may point to a fundamental difference between human and machine…

Ben Ball, IBM: Revolutionising technology operations with IBM Concert

In an interview ahead of the Intelligent Automation Conference, Ben Ball, Senior Director of Product Marketing at IBM, shed light on the tech giant’s latest AI endeavours and its groundbreaking new Concert product. IBM’s current focal point in AI research and development lies in applying it to technology operations. As Ball explained, “As people try to build applications out in the world, it’s an increasingly complex situation. There are so many tools, there are so many environments that go into building and maintaining an application over time that a lot of teams are just drowned under all of the data…

Building High-Performing Computer Vision Models with Encord Active and neptune.ai

Building High-Performing Computer Vision Models with Encord Active and neptune.ai

Iteratively improving data quality and conducting experiments are vital in developing computer-vision models. Encord Active is a data-centric platform that enables teams to curate visual datasets to improve data and model quality neptune.ai is a machine-learning experiment tracker that provides a central place for data scientists to log, analyze, and compare their computer-vision experiments. Together, Encord Active and neptune.ai cover the entire computer-vision modeling process from data curation to delivering the final model to production. Building robust computer vision models is a highly iterative process that depends on two main pillars: data quality and the ability to improve experiments. Poor…

How Open Will Snowflake Go at Data Cloud Summit?

How Open Will Snowflake Go at Data Cloud Summit?

Snowflake is holding its Data Cloud Summit 24 conference next week, and the company is expected to make a slew of announcements, which you will be able to find on these Datanami pages. But among the most closely watched questions is how far Snowflake will go in embracing the Apache Iceberg table format and opening itself up to outside query engines? And is it possible that Snowflake may try to “out open” its rival Databricks, whose conference is the following week? Snowflake has evolved considerably since it burst onto the scene a handful of years ago as a cloud data…

Microsoft drops AC-3 (Dolby Digital) Codec support in Windows 11 version 24H2 – gHacks Tech News

Microsoft drops AC-3 (Dolby Digital) Codec support in Windows 11 version 24H2 – gHacks Tech News

Microsoft's Windows 11 operating system will not support the Ac-3 codec by default going forward. In a somewhat surprising and sneaky move, Microsoft announced the end of support on a support page. There, Microsoft writes that "beginning with Windows 11, version 24H2, the AC-3 codec is no longer included with Windows".  The removal of the code means that users may not play media content that relies on the codec on their devices using built-in players or some external players. Microsoft does note that device manufacturers pre-install the AC-3 codec on their devices often. If that is the case, AC-3 support…

Most People Couldn’t Give a Crap About Using AI, Survey Finds

Many of them never even heard of ChatGPT.Hype DysphoriaWhile CEOs and investors rush to jam AI into as many products as possible, the general public seems unable to give a hoot.In a new study conducted by Oxford University and the Reuters Institute that asked roughly 12,000 people in six countries about AI, large swaths of respondents said they had never used popular tools like OpenAI's ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot — and between 20 and 30 percent said they'd never even heard of them.Using the YouGov platform, the researchers asked 2,000 people each in Argentina, Denmark, France, Japan, the United States,…

Latest trends in data science combat human trafficking – SiliconANGLE

Latest trends in data science combat human trafficking – SiliconANGLE

One of the latest trends in data science is driving an initiative to combat a significant challenge: human trafficking. Researchers at Stanford University are weaving together the threads of data-driven interventions that promise to reshape the fight against exploitation. From satellite imagery to ethical considerations, the journey embodies the intersection of technology and compassion, offering a glimpse into a future where data becomes a formidable ally in the quest for justice. “When I first started working on human trafficking, we did not have any data whatsoever,” said Kimberly Babiarz (pictured), research director at the Stanford Human Trafficking Data Lab at…
