If I see one more article about Bayesian Forest’s being Random whilst also being Convolutional I’m going to disconnect my cable modem and let all of the internet spill out. It is frustrating trying to learn about machine learning. Do I use YOLO, Keras, Tensorflow, PyTorch or all of them together somehow? And even if you...

A recently passed New York state law mandates that a wide range of information be turned over within 15 days after an indictment. Because the law affects audio and video-based evidence too, prosecutors will need to accelerate the multimedia discovery process, requiring the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) tools that allow rapid e-discovery during the early case assessment (ECA) stage of cases.

As a content owner or rights holder, creating and distributing content isn’t your only concern. It’s equally important to make sure your content is stored and curated properly to enable discovery and future use. Rather than using it once for its original purpose and then letting it sit in a vault somewhere, there is tremendous value in getting your content into the hands of producers, broadcasters, ad agencies, and others who need clips for their projects. That means licensing. In my almost 10 years of working in sports licensing, I’ve become intimately familiar with the intricacies of content rights, licensing, and intellectual property. I can’t watch any kind of program without thinking about (and often mentioning) the licensing and rights nuances included within it.

In this article I offer up some best practices for enabling discovery and licensing of your content while protecting your copyrights as a rights holder.

To address the shortcomings of these blanket classifications, a company called Kairos is using face-recognition software to estimate the percentage of a person’s ethnic...

Imagine if you were using a calculator to do some just fantastic calculations like π^π , !2, or the old standard 2+2, and every once-in-a-while, the answer would came back wrong. Better yet, you’ve implemented a microservice in your stack that occasionally just returns {[“No”]}. This is what working with machine learning can feel like sometimes. You’re...
