PHEMEPlus: Enriching Social Media Rumour Verification with External Evidence

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Work on social media rumour verification utilises signals from posts, their propagation and users involved. Other lines of work target identifying and fact-checking claims based on information from Wikipedia, or trustworthy news articles without considering social media context. However works combining the information from social media with external evidence from the wider web are lacking. To facilitate research in this direction, we release a novel dataset, PHEMEPlus, an extension of the PHEME benchmark, which contains social media conversations as well as relevant external evidence for each rumour. We demonstrate the effectiveness of incorporating such evidence in improving rumour verification models. Additionally, as part of the evidence collection, we evaluate various ways of query formulation to identify the most effective method.


Exploiting Negative Preference in Content-based Music Recommendation with Contrastive Learning

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Advanced music recommendation systems are being introduced along with the development of machine learning. However, it is essential to design a music recommendation system that can increase user satisfaction by understanding users' music tastes, not by the complexity of models. Although several studies related to music recommendation systems exploiting negative preferences have shown performance improvements, there was a lack of explanation on how they led to better recommendations. In this work, we analyze the role of negative preference in users' music tastes by comparing music recommendation models with contrastive learning exploiting preference (CLEP) but with three different training strategies - exploiting preferences of both positive and negative (CLEP-PN), positive only (CLEP-P), and negative only (CLEP-N). We evaluate the effectiveness of the negative preference by validating each system with a small amount of personalized data obtained via survey and further illuminate the possibility of exploiting negative preference in music recommendations. Our experimental results show that CLEP-N outperforms the other two in accuracy and false positive rate. Furthermore, the proposed training strategies produced a consistent tendency regardless of different types of front-end musical feature extractors, proving the stability of the proposed method.


Sound2Synth: Interpreting Sound via FM Synthesizer Parameters Estimation

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

The main types of synthesizers include: additive/subtractive synthesizers, which Synthesizer is a type of electronic musical instrument construct waveforms by adding simple waves to silence or that is now widely used in modern music production filtering out simple waves from white noises; FM synthesizers, and sound design. Each parameter configuration which use cascaded oscillators whose parameters are of a synthesizer produces a unique timbre and controlled by predecessors to obtain complex waveforms at can be viewed as a unique instrument. The problem the output; wavetable-based synthesizers, which manipulate of estimating a set of parameters configuration that a short sample (i.e.: a wavetable) or combine multiple samples best restore a sound timbre is an important yet complicated to create complex sounds; and analog synthesizers, which problem, i.e.: the synthesizer parameters simulate physical circuits or devices to generate sounds.


Seeing The Unseen: How Photo AI Turns Night Into Day

#artificialintelligence

They're transforming the world of low-light photography so that cameras can literally see in the dark. Their software enhances still or video images from any camera – not just smartphones or high-end professional equipment – but anything from doorbell cameras to drones, medical endoscopes to CCTV surveillance cameras. And it doesn't just see in the dark. True Night Vision technology, developed by visionary.ai, It allows cameras to see the unseen.


AI Tools Streamline Content Marketing and SEO

#artificialintelligence

The aim of content marketing is to attract, engage, and retain customers. It takes many forms, including videos, podcasts, graphics, articles, and whitepapers. Each of those could have a sub-task. This article focuses on attracting an audience -- driving top-of-the-funnel prospects -- with blog content. A blog post that ranks well on search engine results pages must include the words and phrases of searchers.


The best smart speakers you can buy

Engadget

When Amazon first introduced Alexa and the Echo speaker years ago, the idea of talking to a digital assistant wasn't totally novel. Both the iPhone and Android phones had semi-intelligent voice controls -- but with the Echo, Amazon took its first step toward making something like Alexa a constant presence in your home. Since then, Apple and Google have followed suit, and now there's a huge variety of smart speakers available at various price points. As the market exploded, the downsides of having a device that's always listening for a wake word have become increasingly apparent. They can get activated unintentionally, sending private recordings back to monolithic companies to analyze. And even at the best of times, giving more personal information to Amazon, Apple and Google can be a questionable decision.


Writing With Artificial Intelligence With Andrew Mayne

#artificialintelligence

What is GPT-3 and how can writers use it responsibly as part of their creative process? How can we approach AI tools with curiosity, rather than fear? In the intro, I mention the discussion about whether Google's language model, LaMDA, could be sentient [The Verge]; and the Alliance of Independent Authors Ethical Usage of AI tools. If you'd like to know more about using AI for writing, images, marketing, voice, translation, and more, check out my course, The AI-Assisted Author. Andrew Mayne is the multi-award-nominated and internationally best-selling author of thrillers. He invented an underwater stealth suit for shark diving, and he works with OpenAI as a science communicator. He also has books for authors, including, 'How to Write a Novella in 24 hours,' and a co-hosts the podcast'Weird Things.' You can find Andrew at www.AndrewMayne.com You can find GPT-3 on OpenAI.com. There are many tools built on top of GPT-3. I use and recommend Sudowrite for fiction, in particular. Joanna: Andrew Mayne is the multi-award-nominated and internationally best-selling author of thrillers. He invented an underwater stealth suit for shark diving, and he works with OpenAI as a science communicator. He also has books for authors, including, 'How to Write a Novella in 24 hours,' and a co-hosts the podcast'Weird Things.' Andrew: Hey, thank you for having me. Joanna: Oh, you do so many things. But we are actually going to talk about AI today. Andrew: Well, ever since I was a little boy, I was really interested in science, and entertainment, and everything in between. And I loved robots when I was a kid. And I'd build robots from science fairs and stuff, and I would use coffee cans, and little motors and things I pulled from toys to do that.
