“As more and more content is being acquired and produced, the pressure is on media organizations everywhere to not only automate more of the process but gain more value from their content,” explains Kevin Savina, Director of Product Strategy, Dalet. “We have explored with our customers the many ways in which AI technologies can bring value to their business and operations. The key to success is to have the ability to combine the right mix of AI models for a given content type and set of outcomes expected; then automatically curate and leverage the data these models generate to create contextual, actionable insights for content producers and operations managers within their day-to-day tools and workflows.”

Providing the right insights, in the right toolset, with the right context, Dalet Media Cortex helps content producers, owners, and publishers across news, sports, programs, and radio operations make the most of their media assets, become more productive and focus their time on creative work.

Thanks to the reducing cost of hardware and services, AI has become more accessible to businesses. Cloud computing and neural networks are more readily available, driving adoption of technologies like facial recognition, computer vision, and natural language processing (NLP).

This is the same for the media industry. Even moderate-sized media companies are migrating to intelligent systems. However, implementing AI isn’t like plugging in a USB drive; there are many factors a broadcaster must consider before embarking on AI projects.

Arnaud Elnecave, Vice President of Marketing, Dalet, shared with Tech Wire Asia in an interview, about the common traps businesses fall into when dealing with AI.

Dalet Content Discovery leverages automatic content tagging, topic extraction and key phrase searches, orchestrating a combination of Auto Indexing and Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology. “Dalet Content Discovery aims to aid and enhance newsroom research efforts, surfacing what’s relevant for a given topic and storyline from the pool of exponentially increasing sources and inventory of content,” Kevin Savina, Director of Product Strategy, Dalet. “The first of a new generation of powerful assistants for journalism, Dalet Content Discovery combines the power of AI and ML technology with the advanced data model, the orchestration capability and a new AI integration framework of the Dalet Galaxy platform in order to not only tag and index, but also align, relate and suggest content in a contextual and meaningful way.”

Reducing the time-consuming process of manually searching for news story assets, Dalet Content Discovery intelligently sources and serves content, providing editorial resources relevant material including clips, videos, stories, pitches, wires and multimedia content as the journalist develops their story. The expanded detail enriches the news narrative with new insights and angles.

“The augmented media workflow starts automatically in the background with Dalet Galaxy orchestrating several types of cognitive services. Scripts and media assets are automatically enriched, generating tags that the platform then uses for smart contextual recommendations to the users, as well as for automated data-driven processes.” Savina continues, “The journalist launches Dalet Content Discovery Board, which displays suggested content that matches his/her assignments or work in progress. The suggestions automatically refresh when new relevant assets are entered into the system. Presented suggestions can include production assets, archived assets, studio guests, assets in use for other news stories as well as other similar topic stories that may be scheduled or have already been broadcasted.”

The intuitively designed Discovery Board gives journalists a snapshot of similar news stories that are in motion. This naturally invites journalists to collaborate with their colleagues on similar story topics.

Savina comments, “Collaboration across departments is a common challenge especially among large, multisite news organizations. With Dalet Content Discovery, journalists covering similar story beats, whether it be for TV, online or even radio, can easily connect on topics that require collaboration while still keeping controlled access to sensitive stories.” The visual snapshot of newsroom activity on any given topic also lets news directors easily view various story angles across different departments, allowing them to better balance the overall news lineup.

NAB 2018 attendees can see Dalet Content Discovery in action on booth SL8010.
