Remember the bot-journalist from The Washington Post? Yes, what already works in the publication, helping with boring and routine posts to colleagues of flesh and blood? So, this bot named Heliograph has another colleague. A new algorithm called JUICE will help journalists with the search for topics for news articles. An algorithm is being developed by specialists from the City University of London with the financial support of Google.
The work is boiling, the algorithm is getting smarter. Already, he uses six search strategies. Naturally, this was taught to him by experienced and venerable journalists. The edition Motherboard writes that now JUICE can quite smartly "spank" as many as 470 sites, having made a sample of them by keywords and parameters, given by the person.
A journalist, for example, simply writes the name of a celebrity, and the algorithm does a search on the sites, then shows everything that this name can be related to: articles, cartoons, photographs, articles, etc. That's so easily you can get a lot of information, including one that was previously unknown to the person writing the material.
City University of London is very large, and there, in addition to those involved in the development of JUICE, are studying and working completely different people. There is also a faculty of journalism, whose students are already testing the algorithm. Now the development is almost complete, so the developers hope that by early 2017 JUICE will be able to bring to mind and integrate it into Google Docs.
