How Data Science Is Revolutionising Our Social Visibility
Artificial Intelligence has the potential to revolutionize the social visibility of brands, paving the way for more incisive approaches towards marketing. The huge potential of AI in social media has led to Markets and Markets forecasting that the industry of deep learning, machine learning and NLP within sales marketing, customer experience management and predictive risk assessment within social platforms will grow to more than $2.1 billion in value by 2023. The rise of AI has been well documented, but how exactly can it enhance your social media marketing strategies? Let's take a deeper look into the role that AI is set to play in boosting our exposure on social platforms: The definition of AI varies depending on who you ask. But the chart above illustrates its value to various organisations.
Community detection and Social Network analysis based on the Italian wars of the 15th century
Fumanal-Idocin, J., Alonso-Betanzos, A., Cordรณn, O., Bustince, H., Minรกrovรก, M.
In this contribution we study social network modelling by using human interaction as a basis. To do so, we propose a new set of functions, affinities, designed to capture the nature of the local interactions among each pair of actors in a network. By using these functions, we develop a new community detection algorithm, the Borgia Clustering, where communities naturally arise from the multi-agent interaction in the network. We also discuss the effects of size and scale for communities regarding this case, as well as how we cope with the additional complexity present when big communities arise. Finally, we compare our community detection solution with other representative algorithms, finding favourable results.
How "Starship Troopers" Aligns with Our Moment of American Defeat
It has become clear, in these last decades of decadence, decline, towering institutional violence, and rampant bad taste, that American life is stuck somewhere inside the Paul Verhoeven cinematic universe. In the bloody, satirical sci-fi films that made his name with American audiences, Verhoeven dealt in a singularly unappealing vision of the future, one both luridly inventive and careful about where not to be imaginative. "RoboCop," from 1987, set in a futuristic Detroit, is a gleeful exaggeration of the anxieties of Reagan-era urban life: the office towers are even more isolated, and their boardrooms more brazenly sociopathic; the popular culture is a tick or two more savage and leering; the police are more overmatched and the streets more ungovernable. "Total Recall," released in 1990 and adapted from a short story by Philip K. Dick, does feature humans living on Mars, a private company that implants bespoke memories in its clients, and a brassy three-breasted space prostitute, but its vision of 2084 is in other respects familiar. Mars is dirty, violent, and unequal, and the colony is overseen by the private security force of a capitalist who has staked out a monopoly on oxygen itself.
The best budget smart TVs and streaming devices for students
Heading back to school this year may be unlike any previous year, but whether you're at home or in a formal classroom, you'll need a way to relax. Here are some devices that can bring the theater experience to rooms of any size, while leaving a few bucks left over for you to spend elsewhere. TCL's 5-series 4K TVs will give you a high-res screen with support for HDR10 and Dolby Vision HDR at a price that comes in under $300. The built-in Roku OS adds support for nearly every streaming app your parents have logins for -- HBO Max is the only major one missing so you'll have to live with HBO Now or HBO Go -- and it's perfect for use with a PS4 or Xbox One with auto-game mode switching. Three HDMI inputs mean there's room for expansion as you add additional hardware and the remote is easy enough to use that even your roommate can figure it out.
A Beginner's Guide to Machine Learning for HR Practitioners
When you hear Artificial Intelligence (AI) the first thing that comes to mind are robots; in particular, the Steven Spielberg movie titled A.I. where a robot child is built that can love and behave just like a real human. This idea appears to be closer to a dream than reality. Truth is, AI is more ubiquitous than we might think. It ranges from self-driving cars, movie recommendations on Netflix, e-mail spam detection to voice-controlled assistants such as Apple's SIRI. The fact is that AI is already present across many businesses and various industries, as is shown in the figure below.
LVMH's Ian Rogers Flags Upcoming Artificial Intelligence Push
The coronavirus crisis has everyone going digital full-throttle -- including specialists in the realm. This year, following widespread store closures, it's been all about bulking up e-commerce services -- on the double. But next up, the focus will be on artificial intelligence, according to Ian Rogers, chief digital officer at LVMH Moรซt Hennessy Louis Vuitton, who spoke to WWD through Zoom. "We talk a lot about data and artificial intelligence, I think you'll see us talk more about that -- if we were at VivaTech this year, our theme would be artificial intelligence," he said, referring to the French technology fair that was canceled this year. The executive normally reveals winners of the annual LVMH Innovation Prize at the VivaTech fair, which is France's equivalent to the Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show, drawing industry heavyweights such as Alibaba chairman and cofounder Jack Ma and Microsoft chief executive officer Satya Nadella.

Submissions should generally be about Artificial Intelligence and its applications. If you think your submission could be of interest to the community, feel free to post it. Please note that just because something else is a technology buzzword (e.g. We've had such a problem with blockchain posts that they will now need to be manually approved by a mod before they become visible. If your post is primarily about another technology (like blockchain), please make the relation to AI abundantly and immediately clear (e.g. through writing a comment).
