My understanding so far has been that most of the research on text summarization has been done in English. However, I can't find any reliable numbers for this. My best idea so far has been to search for "automatic summarization language " for a few languages on Google Scholar and see the number of results to get a rough estimate of the proportions. I get 42k for English, 25k for French, 24k for Spanish... But more surprising is I find 46k for Chinese. I would expect the results to be biased towards English, since my keywords are in English.

In this paper, we focus on the classification of books using short descriptive texts (cover blurbs) and additional metadata. Building upon BERT, a deep neural language model, we demonstrate how to combine text representations with metadata and knowledge graph embeddings, which encode author information. Compared to the standard BERT approach we achieve considerably better results for the classification task. For a more coarse-grained classification using eight labels we achieve an F1- score of 87.20, while a detailed classification using 343 labels yields an F1-score of 64.70. We make the source code and trained models of our experiments publicly available.

From checking the latest football stats to figuring out what to pack your kid for lunch, there's a lot you can ask of your Echo. But, one of the most versatile features of the smart speakers' digital assistant, Alexa, is the ability to create a playlist. Ready to rock out in your kitchen while you prepare your next meal?

Recently, Neural Architecture Search is coming back to the research spotlight. For example, there is Weight Agnostic Neural Network (WANN) https://arxiv.org/abs/1906.04358 that demonstrates that Neural Architectures can be more significant than the weights of the network. Are researchers just making up new Neural Architecture Search methods for publication, or is there really a big difference? Are there any work that focused on a detailed comparison for Neural Architecture Search.

Nuclear weapons and artificial intelligence are two technologies that have scared the living daylights out of people for a long time.

One of the hottest trends in technology is Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the market is set to generate $70 billion by next year.

Karaoke complexes might be relatively common now, but back in 2004 singing into a PlayStation was the closest most of us could get. SingStar's discs of party classics formed the caterwauling soundtrack to millions of student gatherings, hen parties and five-pint Fridays all over Europe for more than a decade. Like Just Dance, it harnesses the infectious joy of pop music in a way that anyone can play. A gleeful absurdist masterpiece in which you start by rolling up pencils and apple peel and end up absorbing buildings, trees and, eventually, most of the planet in your big sticky ball, because why not? Journey is a short and moving shared experience whose music, evocative colour palette and simple play come together as they only can in games, for a powerful emotional effect. It's often picked as an ur-example of games as art – including by curators at the V&A, where it was front and centre at a recent exhibition. Resident Evil meets Alien seems like such an obvious game pitch that it is incredible it wasn't realised until 2008. In Dead Space, the player becomes lowly engineer Isaac Clarke, who finds himself investigating the "planet-cracking" ship Ishimura after radio contact with the vessel is lost.
