We’ve been discussing planning an AI based project for students this summer. One of the things we discussed was using AI to create a natural language interface to Duke’s knowledge base of technical information. As a test, I wanted to see what information already existed based on ChatGPT “scraping” the internet for public info. I […]

We wrote in April of last year about the impact of new AI and machine learning advances in the video world, and specifically around captioning. A little less than a year later, we’re starting to see the first packaged services being offered that leverage these technologies and make them available to end users. We’ve recently […]
