Dotin Inc's Talent Analytics Artificial Intelligence (AI) Platform Adopted by NetOne Group for New Product Line, Karatare
Beyond making sure talent will fit into a company's culture, Karatare can be used to ensure employees are in the optimal department and are being given the right opportunities. "Misaligned talent can have serious ramifications. We're helping employers avoid the financial and cultural consequences of having a misaligned talent in a role or on a team. And, as we're giving our clients the opportunity to build synergistic teams in real-time, without asking talent any questions. These methods are backed by solid science and a number of validation studies," Yota Kishigami, General Manager for the Karate product line expands.
Scikit-Learn & More for Synthetic Dataset Generation for Machine Learning - KDnuggets
It is becoming increasingly clear that the big tech giants such as Google, Facebook, and Microsoft are extremely generous with their latest machine learning algorithms and packages (they give those away freely) because the entry barrier to the world of algorithms is pretty low right now. The open-source community and tools (such as scikit-learn) have come a long way, and plenty of open-source initiatives are propelling the vehicles of data science, digital analytics, and machine learning. Standing in 2018 we can safely say that, algorithms, programming frameworks, and machine learning packages (or even tutorials and courses how to learn these techniques) are not the scarce resource but high-quality data is. This often becomes a thorny issue on the side of the practitioners in data science (DS) and machine learning (ML) when it comes to tweaking and fine-tuning those algorithms. It will also be wise to point out, at the very beginning, that the current article pertains to the scarcity of data for algorithmic investigation, pedagogical learning, and model prototyping, and not for scaling and running a commercial operation.
New powers, new responsibilities. A global survey of journalism and artificial intelligence
The Journalism AI report is based on a survey of 71 news organisations in 32 different countries regarding artificial intelligence and associated technologies. A wide range of journalists working with AI answered questions about their understanding of AI, how it was used in their newsrooms, and their views on the wider potential and risks for the news industry. What emerges from this research is that artificial intelligence (AI) is a significant part of journalism already but it is unevenly distributed. AI is giving journalists more power, but with that comes editorial and ethical responsibilities. The future impact of AI is uncertain but it has the potential for wide-ranging and profound influence on how journalism is made and consumed.
BRG Enhances Big Data Capabilities with Addition of Vista Analytics
BRG announced today that it has added 12 members from Vista Analytics, LLC, significantly expanding the firm's capabilities in artificial intelligence and machine learning. "The addition of Vista Analytics is an exciting development," said BRG Chairman and Principal Executive Officer David J. Teece. "They bring sophisticated and complementary tools to our market-leading data analytics expertise." The market for dispute technology is in a unique nexus where the type, volume and complexity of data relevant to disputes is both growing and evolving. There is a clear need for new tools to help make sense of this complex data and simultaneously reduce the time and cost associated with data analysis.
BIMA and Microsoft Breakfast Briefing How to Build An AI-Ready Culture
Its impact can be far more profound and felt across the entire organisation, affecting the ways team interact and the way leaders lead. If AI is to deliver on its true potential for your organisation, it needs cultural as well as technical change. In this Breakfast Briefing, Part of BIMA's Age of AI series in partnership with Microsoft, an expert panel will help you explore the building blocks of an AI culture, including: So how do you create quality data available to all? Empowerment: Many of the most profound impacts of AI come from people closest to the business. So how do you encourage greater collaboration?
Researchers have created an online AI that hides you from facial recognition – Fanatical Futurist by International Keynote Speaker Matthew Griffin
Connect, download a free E-Book, watch a keynote, or browse my blog. What Artificial Intelligence (AI) helps take away with one hand, namely privacy, even if you're wearing masks, and with the Chinese relatively dystopian feeling Social Credit Scoring (SCS) system being a prime example, it gives with the other. And as for what it gives back, ironically, that's also privacy. Well, just one of the many ways that companies strip away our privacy is by using facial recognition, for example, from images and video, which they then use to track us, monitor us, and profile us all. Now, however, the same AI technology that's behind DeepFakes could soon be used to help anonymize and hide us online and confuse these facial recognition systems.

Virgin Media says internet working as normal amid reports of outages
Virgin Media says its internet service is working as normal, despite reports of an outage. Numerous articles and consumer website uSwitch said that Virgin's broadband was being hit by issues and users were unable to get online. But the company says there is no major outage and that most people should still be able to connect as usual. "Our broadband services are running as normal – there is no national broadband outage affecting our network," a Virgin Media spokesperson said. Confusion around the outage was increased after Virgin Media customers were directed to its service status page.
r/MachineLearning - [N] French BERT (CamemBERT) now available in Transformers library
The CamemBERT Transformer model (by Facebook AI, Inria and Sorbonne Université), trained on 138GB of French text was added this morning to the huggingface/transformers model repository, and is now usable in both PyTorch and TensorFlow 2! Install the library from source to play around with it! It is available alongside chinese and german BERT models and other multi-lingual models. CamemBERT improves the state of the art on several French NLP tasks, outperforming multi-lingual models in several tasks. It's based on RoBERTa's training scheme but uses whole-word masking as well as sentence-piece tokenization.
In Search of Credible News
Hardalov, Momchil, Koychev, Ivan, Nakov, Preslav
We study the problem of finding fake online news. This is an important problem as news of questionable credibility have recently been proliferating in social media at an alarming scale. As this is an understudied problem, especially for languages other than English, we first collect and release to the research community three new balanced credible vs. fake news datasets derived from four online sources. We then propose a language-independent approach for automatically distinguishing credible from fake news, based on a rich feature set. In particular, we use linguistic ( n-gram), credibility-related (capitalization, punctuation, pronoun use, sentiment polarity), and semantic (embeddings and DB-Pedia data) features. Our experiments on three different testsets show that our model can distinguish credible from fake news with very high accuracy.
