There are several online newspapers in urdu but for the users it is difficult to find the content they are looking for because these most of them contain irrelevant data and most users did not get what they want to retrieve. Our proposed framework will help to predict Urdu news in the interests of users and reduce the users searching time for news. For this purpose, NLP techniques are used for pre-processing, and then TF-IDF with cosine similarity is used for gaining the highest similarity and recommended news on user preferences. Moreover, the BERT language model is also used for similarity, and by using the BERT model similarity increases as compared to TF-IDF so the approach works better with the BERT language model and recommends news to the user on their interest. The news is recommended when the similarity of the articles is above 60 percent.
It's Time to Recalibrate Our Expectations of Artificial Intelligence
I can still remember the first time I used Alexa. It's crystal clear in my head: I said, "Alexa, play Take On Me and a few seconds later A-ha's synthy drums kicked in. It was one of the few times in my life that artificial intelligence has left me speechless. It was a real-world version of the technology I grew up seeing in countless science fiction movies and TV shows. Giving that command, I felt like Captain Kirk talking to the computers on the USS Enterprise. I recall wondering where the technology would be in another five or 10 years -- which is roughly where we are right now.
The Weirdest Thing on Netflix
Sign up to receive the Future Tense newsletter every other Saturday. When my husband asked me if I wanted to try the "cat trivia game" on Netflix, I thought it was going to be some sort of quiz about felines. I like cats, so I said sure. The "cat trivia game," it turns out, is Cat Burglar, which Netflix calls an "edgy, over-the-top, interactive trivia toon." It debuted in February and comes from the makers of Black Mirror.
