Open mozfest-bot opened 7 years ago

mozfest-bot commented 7 years ago

[ UUID ] b8c004f2-d61b-4fd1-9f0b-68abdeb279aa

[ Session Name ] TV Archives cracked open - "AI for IA" - Artificial Intelligence for Internet Archive [ Primary Space ] Decentralization [ Secondary Space ] Privacy and Security

[ Submitter's Name ] Tracey Jaquith [ Submitter's Affiliated Organisation ] Internet Archive [ Submitter's Github ] @traceypooh

[ Additional facilitators ] Dan Schultz

What will happen in your session?

archive.org/tv has been recording 60+ worldwide channels, 24x7, since 2000. We have 2M+ news shows, including new Trump and Congress subsets, as citable reference, for captions/metadata search, AI experiments, Popcorn editing, and more. Absolute browser Privacy - no personal data or IP addresses extracted. For nontampering validation, we keep original versions with checksums and logs. Recent AI: chyron ("lower third") scanning OCR; public officials facial detection; caption correction & alignment; twitter and slack bots with results. We can store and search arbitrary metadata (eg: ..) as a JSON "clip" with start/end time ranges; can track play counts, referers/embeders. HELP US shape our API to play with TV, tag clips with metadata or pointers to Decentralized metadata, AI ideas, and more!

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

To work with journalists, researchers, hackers, audio/video and captions and artificial intelligence folks, to learn more about what's available at archive.org/tv and help us extend it with API ideas and experiments. We can show what feeds (examples: continuous captions feed from CSPAN; latest headlines shown on CNN, MSNBC, FOXNEWS, BBCNEWS TV shows) can be used now and should be live soon.
We want to aid journalists and others with various ways to get summaries of what is going on in TV, since it is such a big, nonstop 'firehose' of content.
A secondary goal is to find ideas or requests we don't anticipate! We anticipate making available many continuous feeds of AI results for all to use.

Time needed

60 mins

I like it but unsure if it fits the decentralisation space well?

traceypooh commented 7 years ago

I don't disagree! It seemed it had some:

... so I tried the top two :) 100% happy to shuffle to wherever it makes more/most sense if it's accepted! 🎉

cubicgarden commented 7 years ago

Well the best proposals have a bit of everything :)

traceypooh commented 7 years ago

so... was this... accepted? got a slightly confusing email to me overnight :) if so, is it for a 30m-60h talk slot (have done that in last 5-6y) or is more like a science fair exhibit table (have done those too :) thanks and sorry i'm slightly confused!

cubicgarden commented 7 years ago

It was accepted into the decentralised space as a 60min talk. Email went out today, feel free to email me back. Thanks Tracey

traceypooh commented 7 years ago

Hi @traceypooh , my name is Kasia and I work on Mozilla’s Internet Health Report. At Mozfest we will be present with an “Internet Research Hub” #618 (last comment) - an easy-going, cozy space for discussions and networking both with us about Internet Health and among researchers themselves.

We also invite anyone who does work in an Internet research field to sign up and present their work at a couple of open display tables we will have in the hub. If you would like to present something in the hub in addition to your official session, let me know! We will promote these sessions throughout the festival. You can sign up spontaneously with pen and paper on site or if you would like to save a spot beforehand, drop me an email at kasia@mozillafoundation.org with a short description of the session.

In any case, I would like to invite you to pass by the hub and say hi. We will start with an informal "Research and coffee grinder” get-together at the beginning of the festival where people can get to know each other. Space and exact schedule for the Hub are still being decided and I will update you once we know the details. Hope to see you there!

Hi @traceypooh ,

As MozFest is approaching we require the following information from your end to better support your session in the Decentralization learning forum space. You can get back to us by replying to this issue or emailing us directly, whichever communication channel is convenient to you.

  1. Please confirm that you will be able to attend Mozfest 17
  2. Provide us a brief outline of your session topics and time estimates
  3. Does your session require any additional materials or electronic equipment other than a projector and general office stationery?
  4. Please let us know if you want to make any modification to your session proposal

Thank you! Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any queries.

@kaodro hi Kasia -- sure I'd be happy to participate. I focus on TV and video -- though I've been focusing a lot on artificial intelligence and machine learning recently (especially image matching and face detection/tracking).

traceypooh commented 6 years ago

@vigneshwerd whups, sorry I've been at many conferences and vacation so been trying to sort out loose ends... 1) Yes, confirmed will be there and can't wait. Arriving Wed... 2) Rough outline is:

3) just a projector or large-screen TV would be great. I'll have laptop and HDMI cable... 4) not really -- though I will probably add in a bunch more detail on a section related to image matching and facial detection. I realize it's probably too late to change the online guide slightly, but that's probably OK, too.

kaodro commented 6 years ago

@traceypooh great!Just pass by our Hub (first floor, Fri-Sat) and you can sign up for a session spontaneously or shoot me an email at kasia@mozillafoundation.org if you would like to book a spot in advance. We will have tables and screens, you just need your own laptop and in case you want to present sth, be prepared for very weak Internet. In any case please come to our Research & Coffee grinder get-together on Saturday 9:45, right after the opening speeches (https://guidebook.com/guide/114124/event/16880569/). Looking forward to meeting you!
