Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for PSM

Overview

In the active field of media, Machine Learning (ML) and Natural Language Processing (NLP), underpinned by Large Language Models (LLMs), act as key catalysts for technological innovation. Their strength lies in their ability to operate at scale, and their impact is profound and far-reaching. To navigate this landscape, it's essential to have a detailed understanding of the underlying concepts, design processes, and potential of these technologies:

  • Data analytics: ML and LLM offer a unique ability to traverse vast data landscapes, identify anomalies such as fake news, and understand trends.
  • Content enrichment: ML, NLP, and LLM automate and refine the content creation process, from content enrichment to content annotation and generation.
  • Operational efficiency: ML techniques improve the operational backbone of broadcasting, including facial recognition, speaker identification, and gender identification.

Dive into the practical world of ML and NLP, with a particular focus on developing a robust fake news detector using the classic Machine Learning approach and Large Language Models like ChatGPT. You will gain insights into both the theory and application of Machine Learning in media, with hands-on sessions dedicated to Natural Language Processing and text analysis.

By the end of this masterclass, you will not only have the theoretical knowledge but also the practical understanding to implement ML and LLM-driven solutions in the dynamic world of media. Join us and be at the forefront of the future of media technology!
