AI in the News: Interesting News Stories about AI

AITopics > AI in the News

AI in the News is a AAAI service to alert readers to current news articles in the field of AI that appear in various online news sources. An AI program—NewsFinder—crawls the web looking for AI-related news articles. The collection of articles is first filtered to select only those that mention at least one of many key terms related to AI. Then duplicate articles are detected using a semantic similarity metric, and filtered out. Finally, each article is classified using a bank of support vector machines, one for each of the 19 major topics in AITopics; articles matching no topics are also filtered out of the collection. The resulting collection is published on this web page, in the AI-Alert email list, and in our various topic-oriented and aggregate RSS feeds.

Details about NewsFinder can be found on the NewsFinder page.
