How Artificial Intelligence Is Revolutionizing the Advertising Industry

#artificialintelligence

The implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) in advertising has transformed the industry by curating content, automating online bidding, displaying data driven ads and maximizing broadcast and streaming revenues. Advertising -- the communicative efforts undertaken by businesses to draw the attention of the masses towards their offerings -- has come a long way from where it started. Although the roots of this practice can be found deep in antiquity, the more substantially vehement instances of advertising emerged roughly around a century ago and will most likely continue far into the future, as long as there are products to sell and people who can buy them. And meanwhile, the way advertising content is conceived, created, and delivered will also undergo massive changes to keep up with the market trends and technological innovations, as it has been always doing. And the latest addition in the never-ending cycle of change that the advertising industry has adopted is artificial intelligence.


Rage of the machine: An AI* makes metal music

#artificialintelligence

As a teenager, I played in a small-town metal band. This was the nineties so our music was heavily influenced by the nu-metal movement. In other words, our songs sounded a whole lot like a wild mix of Korn, System of a Down, Incubus, and other popular bands from that era. I've long been asking myself whether our songwriting process was all that different from how modern generative language models work. After all, we were only "riffing" on what we had learned during musical training (pre-training) and by listening to our favorite bands (fine-tuning)?

Rookie: A unique approach for exploring news archives

#artificialintelligence

News archives offer a rich historical record. But if the reader or the journalist wants to learn about a new topic with a traditional search engine, they must enter a query and begin reading or skimming old articles one-by-one, slowly piecing together an intricate web of people, organizations, events, places, topics, concepts, and social forces that make up "the news." We propose Rookie, which began as an attempt to build a useful tool for journalists. With Rookie, a user's query generates an interactive timeline, a list of important related subjects, and a summary of matching articles -- all displayed together as a collection of interactive linked views. Users click and drag along the timeline to select certain date ranges, automatically regenerating the summary and subject list at interactive speed.


Better reporting of studies on artificial intelligence: CONSORT-AI and beyond

#artificialintelligence

An increasing number of studies on artificial intelligence (AI) are published in the dental and oral sciences but aspects of these studies suffer from a range of limitations. Standards towards reporting, like the recently published CONSORT-AI extension, can help to improve studies in this emerging field. Watch authors Falk Schwendicke and Joachim Krois of the Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Germany, discuss the Journal of Dental Research (JDR) article "Better Reporting of Studies on Artificial Intelligence: CONSORT-AI and Beyond," moderated by JDR Editor-in-Chief Nicholas Jakubovics, Newcastle University, England. For AI studies in healthcare, only a limited number of randomized controlled trials are available, many studies are low quality and reporting is often insufficient to fully comprehend and possibly replicate these studies. Reporting standards such as the CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) statement, which provides evidence-based recommendations for reporting of randomized controlled trials, have been widely adopted by journals and have been shown to increase reporting quality.


Leveraging Commonsense Knowledge on Classifying False News and Determining Checkworthiness of Claims

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Widespread and rapid dissemination of false news has made fact-checking an indispensable requirement. Given its time-consuming and labor-intensive nature, the task calls for an automated support to meet the demand. In this paper, we propose to leverage commonsense knowledge for the tasks of false news classification and check-worthy claim detection. Arguing that commonsense knowledge is a factor in human believability, we fine-tune the BERT language model with a commonsense question answering task and the aforementioned tasks in a multi-task learning environment. For predicting fine-grained false news types, we compare the proposed fine-tuned model's performance with the false news classification models on a public dataset as well as a newly collected dataset. We compare the model's performance with the single-task BERT model and a state-of-the-art check-worthy claim detection tool to evaluate the check-worthy claim detection. Our experimental analysis demonstrates that commonsense knowledge can improve performance in both tasks.


BeatNet: CRNN and Particle Filtering for Online Joint Beat Downbeat and Meter Tracking

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

The online estimation of rhythmic information, such as beat positions, downbeat positions, and meter, is critical for many real-time music applications. Musical rhythm comprises complex hierarchical relationships across time, rendering its analysis intrinsically challenging and at times subjective. Furthermore, systems which attempt to estimate rhythmic information in real-time must be causal and must produce estimates quickly and efficiently. In this work, we introduce an online system for joint beat, downbeat, and meter tracking, which utilizes causal convolutional and recurrent layers, followed by a pair of sequential Monte Carlo particle filters applied during inference. The proposed system does not need to be primed with a time signature in order to perform downbeat tracking, and is instead able to estimate meter and adjust the predictions over time. Additionally, we propose an information gate strategy to significantly decrease the computational cost of particle filtering during the inference step, making the system much faster than previous sampling-based methods. Experiments on the GTZAN dataset, which is unseen during training, show that the system outperforms various online beat and downbeat tracking systems and achieves comparable performance to a baseline offline joint method.
