Stemming and Lemmatization in Python with NLTK (natural language processing)

#artificialintelligence

Two other methods to reduce dimensions are stemming and lemmatization. I will use one of the articles in the previous post. First, I create new string called news. After than I split the words to tokens. To see the effect we can compare the first 50 words of the lists.


Representing and Reasoning with Preferences

AI Magazine

I consider how to represent and reason with users' preferences. While areas of economics like social choice and game theory have traditionally considered such topics, I will argue that computer science and artificial intelligence bring some fresh perspectives to the study of representing and reasoning with preferences. For instance, I consider how we can elicit preferences efficiently and effectively. With one agent, the agent's desired goal may not be feasible. The agent wants a cheap, low-mileage Ferrari, but no such car exists.


Using Mechanism Design to Prevent False-Name Manipulations

AI Magazine

Such false-name manipulations have traditionally not been considered in the theory of mechanism design. In this article, we review recent efforts to extend the theory to address this. Because some of these results are very negative, we also discuss alternative models that allow us to circumvent some of these negative results. Some of the most exciting applications of this involve making decisions based on the agents' preferences (for a more detailed discussion, see Conitzer [2010]). For example, in electronic commerce, agents can bid on items in online auctions.

AI's War on Manipulation: Are We Winning? The next day was going to be a big day: Citizens of Bitotia would once and for all establish which byte order was better, big-endian (B) or little-endian (L). Little Bit Timmy was a big supporter of little endian because that would give him the best position in the word. However, the population was split quite evenly between L and B, with a small minority of Bits who still remembered the single-tape Turing machine and preferred unary encoding (U), without any of this endianness business. Nonetheless, about half of the Bits preferred big-endian (B L U), and about half were the other way round (L B U).

The annual election for AAAI offices has taken place (15 June 1981 was the closing date for the receipt of votes) The people listed below have been elected by the membership of the AAAI to the offices as indicated. The election was special in several ways, in order to complete the initialization of officers and periods of tenure. Both a president (for 1981-82) and a president-elect (who will serve as president for 1982-83) were elected. Normally only a president-elect would be on the ballot, however, no presidentelect was elected at the last election. Twelve (12) councilors were elected, constituting a full complement of elected councilors.

#artificialintelligence

In 2016, restless tech-industry forecasters enjoyed a rare moment of consensus: Whatever else might be coming next, everyone seemed to agree that bots would be a big part of it. The analyst Benedict Evans, in a representative essay, located a promising future specifically in chat bots -- conversational interfaces for artificial intelligence, designed to assist with particular tasks. Facebook, the year before, created a personal-assistant chat bot, and the company would soon open its Messenger app up to outside developers, who it hoped would create more bots to help people shop, look things up or otherwise organize their lives. Amazon's Echo, by then already a surprise mainstream success, provided a tailwind: Here was a widely used artificial intelligence just sitting there on millions of countertops. These predictions were self-interested, of course.

The UK election this Thursday will be shaped by artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence is being used to fake vocal political support on social media in the run up to the UK election. Then there's social media targeting. Huge swathes of marginalised people could be empowered by automated translation tools.


Robots, Outsourcing, & The 2016 Election

#artificialintelligence

The politicians (Governments) need not stop the outsourcing of the jobs, it will mostly come to an halt by itself when the employment sectors start to employ more and more AI robot automation. Nevertheless, there will be no respite from the jobless problems it will rather skyrocket. To deal with this issue, what we need is a Scientific Approach and the historical perspective of this situation. "Think Out Of The Box". The gist of the theory is; there must be A Gradual Reduction in Working Hours, which In the present situation, ENACTMENT of A THREE-DAY/24/HOUR WORK WEEK. Before which, the principle behind my theory is; the fruits of the societies technological progress should not be appropriated only by a few elite but it is their historical responsibility to see to it that the benefit should be equally shared among all members of the society.


Tracking Political Elections on Social Media: Applications and Experience

AAAI Conferences

In recent times, social media has become a popular medium for many election campaigns. It not only allows candidates to reach out to a large section of the electorate, it is also a potent medium for people to express their opinion on the proposed policies and promises of candidates. Analyzing social media data is challenging as the text can be noisy, sparse and even multilingual. In addition, the information may not be completely trustworthy, particularly in the presence of propaganda, promotions and rumors. In this paper we describe our work for analyzing election campaigns using social media data. Using data from the 2012 US presidential elections and the 2013 Philippines General elections, we provide detailed experiments on our methods that use granger causality to identify topics that were most “causal” for public opinion and which in turn, give an interpretable insight into “elections topics” that were most important. Our system was deployed by the largest media organization in the Philippines during the 2013 General elections and using our work, the media house able to identify and report news stories much faster than competitors and reported higher TRP ratings during the election.
