The News Assistant (Round 6)

News on voice assistants is too much like radio still today. However this new medium offers a huge opportunity for something more exciting and engaging. The key areas this prototype will address include discovery, exploration and socialising news. It will leverage the insights about news Kaleida is collecting every day and the tools it built for querying that data to make something compelling on voice assistants. The project will include a report describing our work and lessons learned in order to help everyone in the news ecosystem.

Social Media Abuse Research Tool (SMART) (Round 6)

Masses of hate speech, threats and abuse are published on social media everyday - posing one of the major social problems of our generation. Journalists need to report this – telling stories, analysing and challenging policy makers. But the issue is complex due to the huge volume and fast-moving nature of content. Most reporters do not have the computing skills to tackle this well, while some have worked with computing specialists to capture and analyse data. Our prototype aims to help journalists work independently, giving them with a user-friendly tool to report more effectively this subject of public interest.
