Data Week AI/ML & AnalyticsAccomplishing Rapid Closed-Captioning Across All Platforms, Using AIRussell Wise, Senior Vice PresidentArtificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) processing in the cloud today offers impressive accuracy, scalability and trainability across a variety of applications useful to production houses and content creators. To benefit fully from these services, however, users must be able to integrate AI- and ML-driven microservices into the on-premises workflows that already support day to-day operations. [bc_video video_id="6187288104001" account_id="4229317768001" player_id="BkgkXSCcOM" embed="in-page" padding_top="56%" autoplay="" min_width="0px" max_width="640px" width="100%" height="100%"]

Data Week AI/ML & AnalyticsFostering Effective Collaborative News Production in COVID-era Newsrooms using Neural AI Multimodal Recommendation TechniquesMichael Elhadad, Director of Research & DevelopmentSPEAKER BIOMichael Elhadad is a co-founder of Dalet and serves as a Member of the Management Board and Director. Mr. Elhadad has been Director of Research & Development of the group since 1996. Mr. Elhadad graduated from Ecole Centrale de Paris and has a PhD in Artificial Intelligence from Columbia University. He is the author of over 50 papers on Artificial Intelligence and Computational Linguistics.As news production teams are increasingly forced to work in a dispersed manner, technology solutions can partially alleviate the lack of co-location to create connections among journalists. We report on an experiment where AI techniques are used to recommend multi-media content to journalists when they are working on their stories. These techniques rely on dramatic, recent progress in Natural Language Processing and Vision research, including neural pre-trained Transformer models such as BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers). At Dalet, we have developed a news recommendation system for journalists as a set of cloud-based SaaS APIs. In this talk we will report on user experiments with journalists that cover text and video in multiple languages...

A new stage of disruption is coming. Following the rapid shift to remote workflows, the move back to traditional workflows required for finishing and/or distribution will force organizations to revise their approach. A cloud strategy should be centered around data rather than applications and services so existing workflows are augmented by the cloud rather than disrupted. Watch our presentation to find out 10 key features organizations should look for in a solution in their journey towards building a future-proof hybrid infrastructure.

Covid-19 changed the way we live, study and work. It’s been an enormous adjustment with more questions than solutions, especially in the video world. This session addresses the advantages of an IP infrastructure when remote operation becomes a necessity. Learn how to control a mosaic/Multiviewer system from anywhere, discover specifics such as how to see alarms remotely, aggregate logs from different systems, empower multiple users, operating an API, and assess the cloud and its reliability.

Edge Computing means that media and data are physically located closer to the users who connect to it and use it. Content can be worked on quickly, securely and without latency. Workflows using local machinery such as quality control, edits, transcoders, etc. are still local, but connect seamlessly into workflows and access operated via the cloud, for example multi-point sharing, collaboration, distribution, or delivery workflows. Edge thus means "working simultaneously on the edge of the cloud + in the cloud".
