The exponential growth in the rate of scientific publication4 and increasing interdisciplinary nature of scientific progress27 makes it increasingly hard for scholars to keep up with the latest developments. Academic search engines, such as Google Scholar and Semantic Scholar, help scholars discover research papers. Techniques such as automated summarization help scholars triage research papers.5 But when it comes to actually reading research papers, the process, often based on a static PDF format, has remained largely unchanged for many decades. This is a problem because digesting technical research papers in their conventional formats is difficult.2

People read digital documents on a daily basis to share, exchange, and understand information in electronic settings. However, current document readers create a static, isolated reading experience, which does not support users' goals of gaining more knowledge and performing additional tasks through document interaction. In this work, we present our vision for the next-gen document reader that strives to enhance user understanding and create a more connected, trustworthy information experience. We describe 18 NLP-powered features to add to existing document readers and propose a novel plug-in marketplace that allows users to further customize their reading experience, as demonstrated through 3 exploratory UI prototypes available at https://github.com/catherinesyeh/nextgen-prototypes

Reading, much like music listening, is an immersive experience that transports readers while taking them on an emotional journey. Listening to complementary music has the potential to amplify the reading experience, especially when the music is stylistically cohesive and emotionally relevant. In this paper, we propose the first fully automatic method to build a dense soundtrack for books, which can play high-quality instrumental music for the entirety of the reading duration. Our work employs a unique text processing and music weaving pipeline that determines the context and emotional composition of scenes in a chapter. This allows our method to identify and play relevant excerpts from the soundtrack of the book's movie adaptation. By relying on the movie composer's craftsmanship, our book soundtracks include expert-made motifs and other scene-specific musical characteristics. We validate the design decisions of our approach through a perceptual study. Our readers note that the book soundtrack greatly enhanced their reading experience, due to high immersiveness granted via uninterrupted and style-consistent music, and a heightened emotional state attained via high precision emotion and scene context recognition.

Writing engaging blogs is an art and to master the art, you need to practice it. There are no shortcuts to writing quality blogs, and you must learn from your mistakes and improve with time. You also need to assess the trend and write about things you love. Make it personalized, grow your brand, and increase your following. In this blog, we will learn about the rules of writing engaging technical blogs.

Orchestration--of AI and of workflow--offers a new way to help imaging organizations improve radiologists' reading experience while significantly reducing the impact on IT IBM (NYSE: IBM) Watson Health is introducing a new AI orchestration offering to help imaging organizations experience the benefits of having AI applications work seamlessly together. IBM Watson Health will officially launch IBM Imaging AI Orchestrator at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 2021 Annual Meeting in Chicago this week. In addition, IBM is announcing IBM Imaging Workflow Orchestrator with Watson, a new solution that modernizes the radiologist's reading experience while reducing the demands on IT and imaging system administrators. "We recognize that when it comes to applying AI in imaging, it's hard to go it alone," said David Gruen, MD, MBA, FACR, Chief Medical Officer, Imaging, Watson Health. "Because each AI application is developed in a unique way with a specific purpose, it can be challenging for organizations to review and assess each one, and then to deploy them in a way that's beneficial to radiologists and their patients. That's why, with the rapid proliferation of approved algorithms, staffing shortages, and complexity of disease, the IBM Imaging AI Orchestrator could not come at a better time."

New research from Canada proposes a method to automatically rewrite an article as you read it, based on Tinder-style'swiping', or on passive observation of the reader's interaction with the various kinds of content that the article contains. The system, titled Hone As You Read (HARE), is presented in a paper from Western University at Ontario, Canada, with corresponding Python code at GitHub. The central idea of the project is that an article may contain various kinds of content, evolving (much like this one) from the headline down to further details. Later parts of an article may contain different kinds of supporting material, use cases, or hypotheses or conjecture about the ramifications of the news. Under HARE, if you don't like that kind of material, you can vote it away on a paragraph-by-paragraph basis while the system learns your preferences, so that by the time you scroll down, content similar to the material that you'downvoted' has already been removed or rewritten.

Plenty of people still like to read their comics on paper, but increasingly, phones and tablets are the devices of choice for keeping up with the Justice League. Last year, Google introduced a new reading experience for comics in its Play Books store for Android that makes it easier to follow along with the story. Today, the company is launching yet another update to the comics reading experience -- this time with a focus on making the speech bubbles in comics more readable on small devices. As Google's Head of Product for Play Books Greg Hartrell told me, the team looked at the feedback it got from the last update. While readers liked the new reading experience, they complained that it was still too hard to read the text on a small screen.

Attention is currently considered the most important currency of the web, but there is another, equally important factor amplifies attention: trust. Trust is what enables meaningful engagement between the content creator and consumer. It is hard to earn, easy to lose, and impossible to purchase. The reading experience has never been more important for publishers – alongside with creating great content, it's how they build their brand and their audience. A great reading experience is what enables loyalty and trust, and creates the engagement levels that in turn are able to generate revenue and attract brands.
