🚀 How The Washington Post Uses AI to Empower Journalists 🔍📰
An exciting new example in the world of AI-assisted journalism! The Post has developed an internal tool called "Hayatacker" that's enhancing in-depth reporting. Here's why it matters:
🎥 What it does:
• Extracts stills from video files
• Processes on-screen text
• Labels objects in images
🗳️ First big project:
Analyzed 745 Republican campaign ads on immigration (Jan-Jun 2024)
🤝 Human-AI collaboration:
• AI extracts and organizes data
• Reporters verify and analyze findings
🔎 Thorough approach:
• Manual review of all 745 ads
• Reverse image searches when context is lacking
• Cross-referencing with AdImpact transcripts
💡 Key insight from WaPo's Senior Editor for AI strategy Phoebe Connelly:
"The more exciting choice is putting AI in the hands of reporters early on in the process."
This tool showcases how AI can augment journalistic capabilities without replacing human insight and verification. It's a powerful example of technology enhancing, not replacing, traditional reporting skills.

I made Tenzin public. One use-case at least to predict stock market prices for high-frequency trading. Would love to see the response as well as feedback you have for us. Please understand that this only represents 5% of the codebase of Tenzin 1.0. We will share more models and use-cases based on the feedback we receive along with keeping in mind AI safety and ethics.
Have fun and go and make some money :)

Hello!
I am studying PyTorch, and I made something that converged really well for something this simplistic. It isn't masterful, but i'd welcome feedback, improvements, suggestions, anything. Tell me it sucks and to take it down, I will, just wanted to share what i've spent the last 2 days crying to figure out.

Every time a new model is released that is topping 10+ leaderboards on 50+ benchmarks... 🚀
My brain goes... I will wait for the LMSYS Chatbot Arena results! 🤔
User-facing evaluation, such as Chatbot Arena, provides reliable signals but is costly and slow. 🐢
Now we have MixEval, a new open benchmark with a 96% correlation to LMSYS Chatbot Arena and Human preferences. 🎯
It comes with MixEval (4k samples) and MixEval Hard (1k samples) 📊
Can use GPT-3.5-Turbo or any other open-source models as Parser/Judge 🤖
It takes less than 6% of the time and cost of MMLU 💸
As expected:
In open models: Qwen2 72B >> Llama 3 70B >> Mixtral 8x7B 🔝
In Closed Models: GPT-4o >> Claude 3 Opus >> Gemini Pro 🔒
Leaderboard: https://mixeval.github.io/ 📈

👋 👋 👋 In a recent AI Time Journal Interview, I was asked: How has HackerNoon leveraged AI to enhance its platform? and what lessons have you learned about AI’s role in spam creation and prevention?
https://HackerNoon.com uses AI and machine learning to improve grammar, translate stories, generate featured images, suggest possible headlines, (and note, I would love to hear what else you think we should use AI for!) . Maybe Clippy was ahead of its time? Writers have and will continue to have smart AI assistants. AI can not and should not replace the writer, but it should and can assist the writer and editor throughout the publishing process. We are documenting our approach to editorial at https://EditingProtocol.com. With the rise of LLMs, we’ve seen an influx of AI story spam submissions. Other blogging platforms are hosting so many of these types of machine-generated stories right now. We are actively taking steps not to become a wasteland of AI’s musings. Because every story is reviewed before publication (with about half being rejected), I think our average story quality is higher than other blogging platforms. Every story submission automatically enters into plagiarism and AI writing detection. We highlight what sections are likely, possibly, and unlikely to be written by AI. It’s all about confidence levels. Ultimately, human editors make the final call in interpreting the machines’ reports.
