It's core to many different types of entertainment; music is in nearly everything. Our research shows that the music creation industry has grown 38% in the past four years, and is on pace to meet or exceed $15 billion in 2018. Music drives film, TV, games, online video, advertising, stage plays, and news services.

R NLP & Machine Learning: Lyric Analysis

#artificialintelligence

This is part one of a three-part tutorial series in which you will use R to perform a variety of analytic tasks on a case study of musical lyrics by the legendary artist, Prince. Musical lyrics may represent an artist's perspective, but popular songs reveal what society wants to hear. Lyric analysis is no easy task. Because it is often structured so differently than prose, it requires caution with assumptions and a uniquely discriminant choice of analytic techniques. Musical lyrics permeate our lives and influence our thoughts with subtle ubiquity. The concept of Predictive Lyrics is beginning to buzz and is more prevalent as a subject of research papers and graduate theses. This case study will just touch on a few pieces of this emerging subject. To celebrate the inspiring and diverse body of work left behind by Prince, you will explore the sometimes obvious, but often hidden, messages in his lyrics. However, you don't have to like Prince's music to appreciate the influence he had on the development of many genres globally. Rolling Stone magazine listed Prince as the 18th best songwriter of all time, just behind the likes of Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell and Stevie Wonder. Lyric analysis is slowly finding its way into data science communities as the possibility of predicting "Hit Songs" approaches reality. Prince was a man bursting with music - a wildly prolific songwriter, a virtuoso on guitars, keyboards and drums and a master architect of funk, rock, R&B and pop, even as his music defied genres. In this tutorial, Part One of the series, you'll utilize text mining techniques on a set of lyrics using the tidy text framework.


Artificial Intelligence Might Affect How Studios Green-Light Movies

The Belgian artificial intelligence company ScriptBook is one such entity that could completely alter the industry. ScriptBook's technology works by analyzing the text of screenplays to produce box office forecasting for a film. In a presentation at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, the company's founder, Nadira Azermai, outlined how ScriptBook's algorithms could have rejected scripts for Sony movies that were box office failures. Sony released 62 movies from 2015 to 2017, 32 of which lost money. By retroactively analyzing the screenplays, ScriptBook's system correctly identified 22 of the 32 films that ultimately lost money.


5 essential tech options for your new car

FOX News

A car is never just a car. Yes, there's the engine, windshield, and axle; these parts have been fundamental to cars since they were known as "horseless carriages." But the modern automobile is heavily computerized, with oxygen sensors, a stability controller, a powertrain module, and a vast network of other functions. Now, cars are more sophisticated than ever: Bluetooth, rear-view cameras, and zoned temperature controls are standard features in 2018 models. Too many people don't think about the vast amount of data collection that happens.

Fiske's Reading Machine was a pre-silicon Kindle

E-readers have become one of the most pervasive pieces of tech for many reasons. They survive alongside tablets because they're accessible -- Amazon's entry-level Kindle is just $80 -- and don't require daily charging. E-ink displays don't strain your eyes nearly as much as backlit screens, nor do they keep you up at night. Above all else, though, they can hold the entire works of Shakespeare countless times over while being thinner and lighter than any paperback. But this idea of portability, of condensing the written word into a format only a device can understand, is older than The Great Gatsby.



AI Hype vs. Reality - Iflexion

#artificialintelligence

While the entertainment industry has certainly played its part in influencing the public mindset when it comes to technology, thought leaders and tech industry heavyweights are increasingly weighing in and putting their money where their mouths are by investing in the latest and greatest technological advances. This is especially true when it comes to AI. As one of the hottest talking points on the internet, AI is a subject that everyone seems to have an opinion on. However, few people get their information about AI from scholarly resources or those who actually use AI in the course of their work or research. To gain a better understanding of what AI really is (and what it isn't) we need to break down some of the most common myths about this 21st-century tool.
