Artificial intelligence 人工智慧

The AP distributed a score card to U.S. local news operations to understand AI technologies and applications that are currently being used and how AI might augment news and business functions. Based on the score card results, AP wrote a report and designed an online course to share best practices and techniques on AI with local newsrooms. The initiative’s third phase will be a consultancy program with 15 news operations.
美聯社向美國當地新聞機構分發了一張記分卡，以了解當前正在使用的人工智慧技術和應用程序，以及人工智慧如何增強新聞和商業功能。根據記分卡結果，美聯社撰寫了一份報告並設計了一個線上課程，與當地新聞編輯室分享人工智慧的最佳實踐和技術。該計劃的第三階段將是一個包含 15 個新聞業務的諮詢項目。

We deploy a tool from SAM, a Canadian social media solutions company, to detect newsworthy events based on natural language processing (NLP) of text-based chatter on Twitter and other social media venues. SAM alerts expose more breaking news events sooner than human journalists could track on their own through manual monitoring of social media.
我們部署了加拿大社群媒體解決方案公司 SAM 的工具，根據 Twitter 和其他社群媒體場所上基於文字的聊天內容的自然語言處理 (NLP) 來偵測有新聞價值的事件。 SAM 警報比人類記者透過手動監控社群媒體自行追蹤的時間更快揭露更多突發新聞事件。

Image recognition software can improve the keywords on AP photos, including the millions of photos in our archive, and improve our system for finding and recommending images to editors. We have tested whether these tools can help keep graphic content out of our image feeds or help identify athletes by jersey numbers. This will create the first editorially-defined taxonomy for the news industry.
影像辨識軟體可以改善美聯社照片（包括我們檔案中的數百萬張照片）的關鍵字，並改進我們為編輯尋找和推薦影像的系統。我們已經測試了這些工具是否可以幫助將圖形內容排除在我們的圖像來源之外或幫助透過球衣號碼識別運動員。這將為新聞業創建第一個編輯定義的分類法。

Since 2014, we have automated text stories from structured sets of data using natural language generation (NLG). We began with corporate earnings stories for all publicly traded companies in the United States, increasing our output by a factor of 10 and increasing the liquidity of the companies we covered. We have since applied similar technology to over a dozen sports previews and game recaps globally.
自 2014 年以來，我們使用自然語言生成 (NLG) 從結構化資料集中自動生成文字故事。我們從美國所有上市公司的企業獲利故事開始，將我們的產出增加了 10 倍，並增加了我們所覆蓋公司的流動性。此後，我們已將類似技術應用於全球十多項體育賽事預覽和比賽回顧。

We’re applying computer vision technology from Vidrovr to videos to identify major political and celebrity figures and to accurately timestamp sound bites. This is helping us streamline the previous process of manually examining our video news feeds to create text “shot lists” for our customers to use as a guide to the content of our news video.
我們正在將 Vidrovr 的計算機視覺技術應用於視頻，以識別主要政治人物和名人，並準確地為原聲摘要添加時間戳。這有助於我們簡化先前手動檢查視訊動態消息的流程，以建立文字“鏡頭清單”，供客戶用作新聞視訊內容的指南。

Software developed by Trint and employing machine learning is enabling us to transcribe videos in real time, slashing the time previously spent creating transcripts for broadcast video. We are now working to marry this technology with live video streams and also integrate automatic translation to multiple languages.
