Radio remains a pervasive medium for mass information dissemination, with AM/FM stations reaching more Americans than either smartphone-based social networking or live television. Increasingly, radio broadcasts are also streamed online and accessed over the Internet. We present WavePulse, a framework that records, documents, and analyzes radio content in real-time. While our framework is generally applicable, we showcase the efficacy of WavePulse in a collaborative project with a team of political scientists focusing on the 2024 Presidential Elections. We use WavePulse to monitor livestreams of 396 news radio stations over a period of three months, processing close to 500,000 hours of audio streams. These streams were converted into time-stamped, diarized transcripts and analyzed to track answer key political science questions at both the national and state levels. Our analysis revealed how local issues interacted with national trends, providing insights into information flow. Our results demonstrate WavePulse's efficacy in capturing and analyzing content from radio livestreams sourced from the Web. Code and dataset can be accessed at \url{https://wave-pulse.io}.


Open Geometry Prover Community Project

Mathematical proof is undoubtedly the cornerstone of mathematics. The emergence, in the last years, of computing and reasoning tools, in particular automated geometry theorem provers, has enriched our experience with mathematics immensely. To avoid disparate efforts,the Open Geometry Prover Community Project aims at the integration of the different efforts for the development of geometry automated theorem provers, under a common "umbrella". In this article the necessary steps to such integration are specified and the current implementation of some of those steps is described.


3 things a MIT scientist learned about Trump by studying his debates

Donald Trump's speeches are nothing like that, according to Brad Hayes, a MIT scientist who programmed a Twitter bot to sound like him. Called DeepDrumpf, it uses an artificial intelligence algorithm based on Trump's language in hundreds of hours of debate transcripts. Hayes told Tech Insider he has learned a lot over the last few weeks about how Trump talks. Here is how he describes Trump's language, which differs dramatically from past presidential candidates. Trump often uses short, imperative sentences, Hayes says.
