Track / Overview

Machine Learning is transforming the media landscape. This applies to the creation of content as well as the analysis of its consumption. Additionally, recent advances in the treatment of text and pictures allow the extension to fields which are fundamental to the media domain but have been difficult to investigate so far. In this session, we want to explore new possibilities and challenges of the "fourth power".
