In this technical demonstration, we propose a cloud-based Big Data Platform for Social Multimedia Analytics called bBridge that automatically detects and profiles meaningful user communities in a specified geographical region, followed by rich analytics on communities’ multimedia streams. The system executes a community detection approach that considers the ability of social networks to complement each other during the process of latent representation learning, while the community profiling is implemented based on the state-of-the-art multi-modal latent topic modeling and personal user profiling techniques. The stream analytics is performed via cloud-based stream analytics engine, while the multi-source data crawler deployed as a distributed cloud jobs. Overall, the bBridge platform integrates all the above techniques to serve both business and personal objectives.
The technological revolution marked by the shift from using a mouse and keyboard to touch screens has transformed our interaction with devices. In this rapidly evolving landscape, humans communicating with familiar applications using natural language has emerged as the most intuitive and effortless solution to bridge the gap between humans and machines, making life easier for customers and expanding the market. OpenAI, a trailblazer in AI development and advocacy, has ventured into the realm of venture capitalism through its subsidiary, the OpenAI Startup Fund, dispersing substantial investments to four promising DeepTech startups: Descript, Harvey, Mem, and Speak. Three of these companies harness the power of large language models (LLMs) to revolutionize human-machine interaction, raising the question: Why were these particular startups selected out of thousands of companies worldwide?
