TIPPING POINT
A quick note…
Computer speech is 1 of the 2 critical technologies
that will allow artificial intelligence empower our
world in ways we’ve only dreamed of.
(Computer vision is the 2nd)

THE PROBLEM
Point and click gets old..and it doesn’t scale.

NOTE
This is deceptively simple, but incredibly powerful.
A signature of the most impactful technologies.

Speaker: Jordi Carrera Ventura, Artificial Intelligence technologist at Telefónica R&D Summary: Chatbots (aka conversational agents, spoken dialogue systems) allow users to interface with computers using natural language by simply asking questions or issuing commands. Given a query, the chatbot builds a semantic representation of the input, transforms it into a logical statement, and performs all the necessary actions to fulfill the user's intent. Sometimes this simply means calculating an exact answer or retrieving a fact from a database, whereas other times it means building a contextual model and running a full-fledged conversation flow while keeping track of anaphoras and cross-references. Besides the direct applications of chatbots in IoT (Amazon’s Alexa, Apple's Siri) and IT (the historical field of Information Retrieval as a whole can be seen as a sub-problem of spoken dialogue systems), chatbots' main appeal for technologists is their location at the intersection of all major Natural Language Processing technologies and many of the deepest questions in Cognitive Science today: semantic parsing, entity recognition, knowledge representation, and coreference resolution. In this talk, I will explore those questions in the context of an applied industry setting, and I will introduce a framework suitable for addressing them, together with an overview of the state-of-the-art in chatbot technology and some original techniques.

In this presentation, Limecraft CEO Maarten Verwaest explains the state of the art of AI for subtitling. He discusses the technologies for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) required to turn audio into well formed subtitles. Capitalising on the results of the Horizon2020 project Memad (memad.eu) and illustrated by a number of successful deployments, including The Associated Press and ITV, he discusses the key success factors and acceptance criteria to save 80% of the cost and time compared to conventional methods.

Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/why-teams-call-analytics-is-critical-to-your-entire-business Nothing is as frustrating and noticeable as being in an important call and being unable to see or hear the other person. Not surprising then, that issues with Teams calls are among the most common problems users call their helpdesk for. Having in depth insight into everything relevant going on at the user’s device, local network, ISP and Microsoft itself during the call is crucial for good Microsoft Teams Call quality support. To ensure a quick and adequate solution and to ensure your users get the most out of their Microsoft 365. But did you know that ‘bad calls’ are also an excellent indicator of other problems arising? Precisely because it is so noticeable!? Like the canary in the mine, bad calls can be early indicators of problems. Problems that might otherwise not have been noticed for a while but can have a big impact on productivity and satisfaction. Join this session by Christoph Adler to learn how true Microsoft Teams call quality analytics helped other organizations troubleshoot bad calls and identify and fix problems that impacted Teams calls or the use of Microsoft365 in general. See what it can do to keep your users happy and productive! In this session we will cover - Why CQD data alone is not enough to troubleshoot call problems - The importance of attributing call problems to the right call participant - What call quality analytics can do to help you quickly find, fix-, and prevent problems - Why having retrospective detailed insights matters - Real life examples of how others have used Microsoft Teams call quality monitoring to problem shoot problems with their ISP, network, device health and more.

In this session, we will discuss the journey of API governance from its initial, ungoverned state to the development of sophisticated models that tackle contemporary challenges. We'll explore how APIs have become essential in the intersection of business and technology, adapting to advancements and evolving needs. We'll focus on how organizations have moved from launching to monetizing APIs, using models like pay-per-use and subscriptions, and finding the right balance between technical implementation and business strategy. We'll also highlight the impact of governance on monetization strategies, especially how data security, compliance, and service quality influence pricing. Real-world examples will demonstrate the effective integration of governance with monetization, including AI's role in dynamic pricing. Looking ahead, we'll share insights into future trends in API governance and monetization, emphasizing the importance of adaptability, continuous learning, and innovation.

In today's digital world, trust is key to customer relationships, but keeping it is a huge challenge. Customers are well-informed and empowered, quick to change brands if their trust is broken, even if it costs them more. This puts a lot of pressure on organizations to handle trust and safety issues with great care and transparency. The challenge, however, is real. Fragmented solutions have left privacy, legal, and security teams in a perpetual cycle of catch-up, struggling to update privacy notices, manage customer data rights, and answer lengthy security questionnaires—all while trying to prove ROI to the business. It's a thankless job, filled with repetition, tedious tasks, and constant interdepartmental coordination. Combine this with fast regulatory changes and the quick evolution of AI, and it becomes overwhelming. Join this webinar to learn more about TrustArc's new innovative solution Trust Center, the only unified, no-code online hub for trust and safety information built for privacy, security, compliance, and legal teams. Trust Center streamlines your path to compliance, shortens the pre-sales cycle, and reduces both legal and regulatory risks, saving time, effort, and cost. This webinar will review: - Why companies are building unified Trust Centers for a robust privacy program. - How unified Trust Centers streamline sales cycles, ensure regulatory compliance, and reduce operational bottlenecks. - How compliance, legal, security, GRC, and privacy teams benefit from a unified Trust Center in terms of needs, pains, and outcomes. - How TrustArc Trust Center saves time and work while reducing legal, reputational, and compliance risk by effectively managing policies, notices, terms, and disclosures, and providing real-time updates on subprocessors.
