However, we believe that the fundamentals of any change and progress will only occur in the deep integration of productivity and industry, and the news industry will be the same. To this end, Hedgehog made a special report on AI+News, hoping to observe the application of artificial intelligence in the field of news, causing themselves and readers to think about the current environment.
This is the second piece of the topic. Foreign media are far more advanced than domestic in technical news reporting.
Robot Writing 2.0
"Fortune" magazine said: "Now just hand in hand to grab a tech company will find it has involved the AI ​​community." If the "technology company" is replaced by foreign media, this sentence is also true. Compared with the testing of domestic media, foreign media that entered the game earlier have a longer exploration time in the “artificial intelligence + news†field, and their exploration results have become more in-depth. In this article, Hurricane King will try to start from the news production process and observe various attempts made by foreign media in integrating artificial intelligence and news labs.
When it comes to the application of artificial intelligence in journalism, the best performing robots are written. It is a service company named Narrative Science that applied this method earlier. The company launched a writing software called Quill as early as 2010 that can turn numbers into narrative texts from different perspectives. Quill has been used to write reports on competitions for baseball on the television and the Internet. The Forbes website used NarrativeScience's technology to automatically produce financial reports and real estate related reports.
Since then, many foreign media including the Associated Press, the Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times have joined this attempt.
1. Associated Press: Robot writes, but also converts to broadcast
In July 2014, the Associated Press (AP) and technology company Automated Insights (referred to as AI) reached a cooperation to use their Wordsmith platform to automatically compile corporate financial statements. The specific process is that every time the company publishes financial reports, Automated Insights will automatically capture the received financial reports. Based on the pre-edited writing structure of the Associated Press, a 150-300 words newsletter will be generated within seconds. The system can produce nearly 4,000 financial report news quarterly, and before that the editors of the Associated Press wrote only 400 financial reports per quarter.
In addition to greater numbers and faster speeds, WordSmith's autonomous “learning†capabilities are equally stunning. In just three months, the system has autonomously mastered the basic norms of news writing, and its error rate is lower than that of human professional editors. Writing robots are also optimizing the quality of manuscripts while changing the number.
By 2015, the Associated Press expanded the scope of automated news coverage to the sports section. In June this year, the Associated Press tried to cooperate with MLBAM (Major Major League Baseball Media) to report on baseball games and convert the audience-style score-based reports into text stories.
As one of the first media to apply artificial intelligence to news writing, the Associated Press is continuing to explore new areas. In October this year, Jim Kennedy, senior vice president of the Strategic Enterprise Development Division of the Associated Press, interviewed Joseph Lichterman, journalist of The Nieman JournalismLab, to reveal the next direction of his artificial intelligence application: News is automatically converted to broadcast. The idea of ​​the project is that the development team will focus on a specific sports project and create a template for converting text to broadcast. Based on this, an algorithm suitable for this transformation will be developed. Kennedy also revealed that it may take 6 months to develop a text-to-broadcast identification system with an outside company, and the current design sample still requires special editorial review. Their ultimate goal is to allow smart technology to be released at a level that does not require manual editing.
2. Los Angeles Times: Focus on Emergencies and Crimes
In March 2014, a 4.4-magnitude earthquake occurred in California, and the Los Angeles Times became the fastest media reported on the site at that time. It took only three minutes from writing to publishing. The news came from the hands of robots. The “Los Angeles Times†seismic news automatic generation system immediately received the seismic information from the US Geological Survey and quickly embedded the data in a system template to generate breaking news.
In addition to writing robots for earthquakes, the Los Angeles Times also has a robot that collects local suicide news from Los Angeles (since 2010). It has built a crime library based on artificial intelligence to make it easier for editors to track news. However, from the point of view of time, the “Los Angeles Times†attempt to use artificial intelligence to assist news reports came earlier, but the role of robots is focused on integrating and nesting messages, and has not yet entered a more in-depth field.
