The Rattlesnake Creek Wind Project will be built between the towns of Allen, Emerson and Wakefield, the Sioux City Journal reported . Demand for power from Facebook helped resurrect the project that had been at a standstill since 2013 after its former owners, Trade Winds, couldn't find buyers for the energy the farm.

Algorithmia started out as an online marketplace for -- can you guess it? Many of these algorithms that developers offered on the service focused on machine learning (think face detection, sentiment analysis, etc.). Today, with the boom in ML/AI, that's obviously a big draw and Algorithmia is now taking its next step in this direction with the launch of a new… Read More

When you think of artificial intelligence (AI), the word "emotion" doesn't typically come to mind. But there's an entire field of research using AI to understand emotional responses to news, product experiences, movies, restaurants, and more. It's known as sentiment analysis, or emotion AI, and it involves analyzing views – positive, negative, or neutral – from written text to understand and gauge reactions. Sentiment analysis can be used for survey research, social media analyses, and tracking psychological trends. Picture software that scans articles, reviews, ratings, and social media posts to determine sentiment changes for hotel guests.

Update 10/25/17 3:53 PM: A Google spokesperson responded to Motherboard's request for comment and issued the following statement: "We dedicate a lot of efforts to making sure the NLP API avoids bias, but we don't always get it right. This is an example of one of those times, and we are sorry. We take this seriously and are working on improving our models. We will correct this specific case, and, more broadly, building more inclusive algorithms is crucial to bringing the benefits of machine learning to everyone." John Giannandrea, Google's head of artificial intelligence, told a conference audience earlier this year that his main concern with AI isn't deadly super-intelligent robots, but ones that discriminate.

Google developed its Cloud Natural Language API to give customers a language analyzer that could, the internet giant claimed, "reveal the structure and meaning of your text." Part of this gauges sentiment, deeming some words positive and others negative. When Motherboard took a closer look, they found that Google's analyzer interpreted some words like "homosexual" to be negative. Which is evidence enough that the API, which judges based on the information fed to it, now spits out biased analysis. The tool, which you can sample here, is designed to give companies a preview of how their language will be received.

Movie reviews can be classified as either favorable or not. The evaluation of movie review text is a classification problem often called sentiment analysis. A popular technique for developing sentiment analysis models is to use a bag-of-words model that transforms documents into vectors where each word in the document is assigned a score. In this tutorial, you will discover how you can develop a deep learning predictive model using the bag-of-words representation for movie review sentiment classification.

Facebook disclosed last month it had found ads linked to fake accounts -- likely run from Russia -- that sought to influence the U.S. election. Facebook said the ads focused on divisive political issues such as immigration and gun rights in an apparent attempt to sow discord among the U.S. population.

KSQL is the open source streaming SQL engine for Apache Kafka. It lets you do sophisticated stream processing on Kafka topics, easily, using a simple and interactive SQL interface. In this short article we'll see how easy it is to get up and running with a sandbox for exploring it, using everyone's favourite demo streaming data source: Twitter. We'll go from ingesting the raw stream of tweets, through to filtering it with predicates in KSQL, to building aggregates such as counting the number of tweets per user per hour.

Text data preparation is different for each problem. Preparation starts with simple steps, like loading data, but quickly gets difficult with cleaning tasks that are very specific to the data you are working with. You need help as to where to begin and what order to work through the steps from raw data to data ready for modeling. In this tutorial, you will discover how to prepare movie review text data for sentiment analysis, step-by-step.

In this talk I will show data engineers and architects how to run real-time TensorFlow Inception Image Recognition on images captured by remote sensors and images in tweets and facebook posts. In the same flow I will also demonstrate how to apply real-time sentiment analysis and intelligent routing of data to Phoenix, Email and Slack. I will elaborate on a number of different sentiment analysis frameworks available for use within Apache NiFi including Python NLTK, Stanford CoreNLP, Python SpaCy and Python TextBlob. This talk will be a deep dive into how to manage complex dataflow pipelines ingesting from multiple streaming sources including social, public open data feeds, logs, drones, RDBMS and IoT with transformations, deep learning, machine learning and business rules. Data engineers will be shown the power of Apache NiFi for loading diverse sources of data, applying transformations in-stream, routing based on attributes, adding sentiment data to workflows, running deep learning algorithms in stream and storing data into Apache Phoenix on HBase and Apache Hive as ORC tables.
