Applying Emerging Technologies in Service of Journalism with The New York Times

Friday, Oct. 30 | 2 pm ET // 11 am PT | Virtual Event

The Machine Learning Center at Georgia Tech (ML@GT) and the University of California-Berkeley are thrilled to welcome a group of engineers, creatives, and journalists from The New York Times (NYT) Research and Development team to discuss how the NYT applies emerging technology in service of journalism.

Registration is required.

What We'll Be Discussing

Emerging technologies, particularly within computer vision, photogrammetry, and spatial computing, are unlocking new forms of storytelling for journalists to help people understand the world around them.

In this talk, members of the R&D team at The New York Times talk about their process for researching and developing new capabilities built atop emerging research. In particular, hear how they are embracing photogrammetry and spatial computing to create new storytelling techniques that allow a reader to experience an event as close to reality as possible.

Learn about the process of collecting photos, generating 3D models, editing, and technologies used to scale up to millions of readers. The team will also share their vision for these technologies and journalism, their ethical considerations along the way, and a research wishlist that would accelerate their work. 

The Times now has the world’s most popular daily podcast, a new weekly video series, and award-winning interactive graphics storytelling. Join us for a discussion about how our embrace of emerging technologies is helping us push the boundaries of journalism in 2020 and beyond.
