I arrived at the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research IGD this April armed with 26 million EU referendum tweets and an age-old question about rhetoric: What makes persuasive content work? In this age of limited attention, does content even matter?
After about eight years of algorithm design, software development and tuning, and large experimental tests I wish to share in this post the news about the public availability of a robust API offering some powerful entity-linking functionalities which are based on the tools we have published in the last few years: TagMe, WAT, SWAT and SMAPH.
All these tools can be now freely accessed via the EU SoBigData Infrastructure.
The description of each of the four tools is present in that page, I summarize here their main characteristics:
University of Pisa, CNR and FC Barcelona have created an algorithm able to predict more than 50% of the muscular injuries of a professional football team.
Accidents have a major impact on the performance and budget of sports clubs. The most recent example is the injury of the "Matador" Cavani which proved to be decisive for the defeat of Uruguay in the last world cup in Russia.
Dino Pedreschi's article on the most important Italian business daily newspaper Sole24ore talks about #AI, #BlackBoxes and the right to #Explanation
#explainableAI #ethics #humanAI.
Google will fund a project aimed at developing Computational Thinking for teachers in science and technology in secondary schools. The project, one of the three winners of the Google Educator Grant Award in Italy, was conceived by Paolo Ferragina, professor of the Department of Computer Science of Pisa University and member of SoBigData, and Fabrizio Luccio, professor of the Department of Computer Science of Pisa University.
Prof. Dino Pedreschi, pioneer of Big Data Analytics, helps us to understand Artificial Intelligence with examples and simulations at the TAM TAM TALKS promoted by Generali Italia.
