The Pleasure and Promise of the Sci-Fi Romance

WIRED

Among the scant books in my tiny rented room in San Francisco, I've kept a spine-worn copy of Romeo and Juliet. It's the one I read in my high school English class, the pages yellowed, the margins filled with scribbled notes. Since the play was written in the 1590s, Shakespeare's portrayal of the nature of love--irrational, all-consuming--has been told and retold in countless movie adaptations. I hold onto the book to revisit those insights, and also because I'm prone to nostalgic literary tendencies like keeping old books. I am also a personal tech writer in 2018. It's my job to keep tabs on how our rapidly shifting technology is shaping not only how we communicate, but how we empathize, trust, show affection.

Your AI's Ethical Lapses Could Be Causing CX Disasters

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence is presented as the opposite of natural intelligence, which is demonstrated by animals. By that definition, AI would appear to be free from the social neuroses and discriminations that can plague humans. But machine learning originates from human makers, meaning those shortcomings can be passed along via algorithms and data input. AI is increasingly customer-facing: It includes asking Siri details about an upcoming trip or turning on Netflix and seeing recommendations based on viewing habits. AI touches numerous points along the customer journey, meaning its limitations can have organization-wide consequences.

Here's what we know about Google's mysterious search engine

Washington Post - Technology News

President Trump thinks Google's search engine is "rigged." By featuring more mainstream news outlets and relatively fewer conservative sites in the results he sees, Trump tweeted Tuesday, Google is "suppressing" right-wing views on its platform. Trump escalated his attacks Tuesday afternoon in remarks from the Oval Office, warning that "Google and Twitter and Facebook, they are treading on very, very troubled territory and they have to be careful." It's easy to see how Trump arrived at this conclusion, because in many ways his experience mirrors that of millions of Americans who've awoken to the dominance of Google -- and Facebook, and Twitter -- in their everyday lives without being quite certain how it wound up there. We rely constantly on Google to find out what to buy, which restaurants to eat at and how to get from one place to another.


Analyze Unstructured Data Patterns for Conceptual Representation

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Online news media provides aggregated news and stories from different sources all over the world and up-to-date news coverage. The main goal of this study is to have a solution that considered as a homogeneous source for the news and to represent the news in a new conceptual framework. Furthermore, the user can easily find different updated news in a fast way through the designed interface. The Mobile App implementation is based on modeling the multi-level conceptual analysis discipline. Discovering main concepts of any domain is captured from the hidden unstructured data that are analyzed by the proposed solution. Concepts are discovered through analyzing data patterns to be structured into a tree-based interface for easy navigation for the end user, through the discovered news concepts. Our final experiment results showing that analyzing the news before displaying to the end-user and restructuring the final output in a conceptual multilevel structure, that producing new display frame for the end user to find the related information to his interest.


Why Google Is a Perfect Target for Trump

WIRED

A full hour before the sun rose in Washington, DC, Tuesday, President Donald Trump fired off a pair of tweets claiming that Google had "rigged" search results against conservatives. Like so many Trump grievances, the argument seems steeped less in fact than a roiling stew of personal animus. But in Google News, the latest subject of his ire, Trump may have found the perfect target. In Trump's tweets--which he later deleted, then tweeted again, with no substantive changes--you can see the outlines of an attack that can't be easily fact-checked or dismissed. Charges of bias against Google will stick, because no algorithm is truly neutral.
