Predicting Political Ideology from Digital Footprints

arXiv.org Machine Learning

This paper proposes a new method to predict individual political ideology from digital footprints on one of the world's largest online discussion forum. We compiled a unique data set from the online discussion forum reddit that contains information on the political ideology of around 91,000 users as well as records of their comment frequency and the comments' text corpus in over 190,000 different subforums of interest. Applying a set of statistical learning approaches, we show that information about activity in non-political discussion forums alone, can very accurately predict a user's political ideology. Depending on the model, we are able to predict the economic dimension of ideology with an accuracy of up to 90.63% and the social dimension with and accuracy of up to 82.02%. In comparison, using the textual features from actual comments does not improve predictive accuracy. Our paper highlights the importance of revealed digital behaviour to complement stated preferences from digital communication when analysing human preferences and behaviour using online data.


Leveraging AI To Predict Atrial Fibrillation

#artificialintelligence

Axel Loewe PhD and colleagues at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany are developing new ways to predict cardiovascular diseases earlier and more accurately. Dr. Loewe leads an interdisciplinary team that is developing computer models of the human heart using software engineering, algorithmics, numerics, signal processing, data analysis, and machine learning. The group applies the models in simulation studies and brings them into clinical application by creating individualized digital twins of patients. Researchers use digital twins to optimize diagnostic approaches and personalize therapies. They use AI methods based on simulated data and clinical information to help decipher disease mechanisms.


Hey C-Suite: AI Won't Save You!

#artificialintelligence

This article is a collaboration with David Gossett, Principal with Infornautics, who builds first mover technologies that have no instruction set and need to be invented from scratch. He believes data has a story to tell if we apply the right machine models. His specialty is unstructured data. This article is intended to be provocative, to summon curiosity into the issues that plague us today when it comes to machine learning. Three years ago, I wrote this article, Artificial Intelligence Needs to Reset. The AI Hype that was supposed to transpire into all-things automated is still far off. Since that time, we've experienced speed bumps that have pointed to issues including lack of model accountability (black boxes), bias, lack of data representation in the training set etc. An AI Ethics movement emerged to demand more responsible tech, increased model transparency and verifiable models that do what they're supposed to do without impairment or harm to individuals or groups, in the process. Our future is Artificial Intelligence. It's been conjectured that this wonderful AI will be our savior.

#artificialintelligence

GreyOrange announced an agreement with Blue Yonder to leverage their combined digital warehouse management system (WMS) and order management system (OMS) solutions to speed up fulfillment modernization for joint customers. Together, GreyOrange and Blue Yonder provide the broadest range of options for businesses focused on fulfillment as a competitive edge. Real-time orchestration and management of entire robotic fleets enable substantial increases in fulfillment throughput and accuracy across the ecosystem. "Blue Yonder's warehouse management and order management solutions are recognized by industry analysts as best-in-class and the brands they serve are market leaders," said Lesley Simmonds, vice president, global business development and alliances, GreyOrange. "We are looking forward to bringing the powerful combination of software and robots in our fulfillment platform and Blue Yonder's warehouse management and order management solutions to companies that want to use modern fulfillment as a strategic advantage that dramatically improves customer service as well as cost-efficiency."


What to do if your chatbot doesn't know the answer

#artificialintelligence

Many companies have been using chatbots to provide automatic, scalable, and personalized customer care services. You may think building a chatbot to this end is an easy task, just defining a sequence of messages according to the standard conversation flow, right? No, there is a lot more to it than that! In order to deliver a pleasant experience to end-users (or simply users) and to keep them engaged, the Conversational Designers need to put in quite a bit of effort. Usually, they deep-dive into diverse articles and studies to better understand the business.

Your oral presentations are also given to you as MP4.


Which Countries Are Leading The Data Economy? - AI Summary

#artificialintelligence

The new world order taking shape is likely to be more complex than a simple bi-polar structure, especially since data is being produced at a pace that boggles the mind. For one, we recognize that the digital trace that is generated by computers around the world spans a very wide range of activities, from sending an SMS text message to making a financial transaction. That said, we acknowledge that in the near-term there could be some countries – China being the pre-eminent example – where data-sharing between public and private sector agencies with very little mobility beyond the national borders could violate privacy and openness norms and yet yield a temporary advantage in training algorithms inside a "walled garden." If one were to take the point of view that the biggest and highest impact AI applications are the ones that serve the greatest public purpose, access to data is key. While the U.S. scores well on all three criteria – and this might seem counter-intuitive to prevailing wisdom -- China operates with a handicap if global accessibility of the data is considered essential for creating successful AI applications in the future.


Core Challenges in Embodied Vision-Language Planning

Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research

Recent advances in the areas of multimodal machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) have led to the development of challenging tasks at the intersection of Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, and Embodied AI. Whereas many approaches and previous survey pursuits have characterised one or two of these dimensions, there has not been a holistic analysis at the center of all three. Moreover, even when combinations of these topics are considered, more focus is placed on describing, e.g., current architectural methods, as opposed to also illustrating high-level challenges and opportunities for the field. In this survey paper, we discuss Embodied Vision-Language Planning (EVLP) tasks, a family of prominent embodied navigation and manipulation problems that jointly use computer vision and natural language. We propose a taxonomy to unify these tasks and provide an in-depth analysis and comparison of the new and current algorithmic approaches, metrics, simulated environments, as well as the datasets used for EVLP tasks. Finally, we present the core challenges that we believe new EVLP works should seek to address, and we advocate for task construction that enables model generalizability and furthers real-world deployment.


How Is AI Changing the Environment for the Better? - Innovation & Tech Today

#artificialintelligence

Significant investments and research developments in artificial intelligence (AI) have made the technology a powerful asset in many industries -- including environmental studies. AI isn't a new technology, but businesses and consumers feel its impact and witness it seep into everyday life. AI is becoming more advanced and autonomous, and it's also broader in its use and impact. More use cases for AI are emerging, and if implemented responsibly, it can greatly benefit society. It's likely to play a role in tackling issues like climate change -- but how? Here's how AI is expected to impact the environment and usher in positive changes for a more sustainable future. It's critical to understand the breadth of environmental problems right now.
