Adam Klasfeld reports:
In a setback of data-privacy
advocates, the Second Circuit agreed en banc today
that authorities did not commit an unreasonable seizure by sitting on computer
data for 2 ½ years before an investigation.
Judge Denny Chin penned a furious
dissent likening the case to the digital-age equivalent of the general warrants
from Britain’s throne that inspired the American Revolution.

When “natural intelligence” is absent?
How artificial intelligence is transforming the legal
profession
by Sabrina I. Pacifici on May 28, 2016
ABA Journal, Julie Sobowale, April 1, 2016: “Artificial
intelligence is changing the way lawyers think, the way they do business and
the way they interact with clients. Artificial
intelligence is more than legal technology. It is the next great hope that will
revolutionize the legal profession. Change
can be brought on through pushing existing ideas. What makes artificial intelligence stand out
is the potential for a paradigm shift in how legal work is done. AI, sometimes referred to as cognitive
computing, refers to computers
learning how to complete tasks traditionally done by humans. The focus is on computers looking for patterns
in data, carrying out tests to evaluate the data and finding results. Chicago-based NexLP, which stands for next
generation language processing, is creating new ways for lawyers to look at
data…

“Nearly 80 percent of a company’s data is
unstructured,” [Jay] Leib says. “While
unstructured data represents the lion’s share of a company’s data, for years
lawyers have been stuck with antiquated tools that focus primarily or solely on
Boolean search. Better tools are needed
to truly understand data, infer meaning, classify the various types of ideas
present, and help you get to the result fast—even if that result didn’t involve
the keywords you used.” [David] Roth
helped develop technology that can turn information into stories. Story
Engine is a program that can read through unstructured data and summarize
conversations, including the ideas discussed, the frequency of the
communication and the mood of the speakers. The company uses the data to build models to
analyze behavior and find signs of fraud or litigation…”

Google announces SyntaxNet: “The World’s Most Accurate Parser
Goes Open Source”
by Sabrina I. Pacifici on May 28, 2016
May 12, 2016,
Posted by Slav Petrov, Senior Staff Research Scientist: “At Google, we spend a
lot of time thinking about how computer systems can read and understand human language in order to process it in intelligent ways. Today, we are excited to share the fruits of
our research with the broader community by releasing SyntaxNet, an open-source neural network framework
implemented in TensorFlow
that provides a foundation for Natural Language Understanding (NLU) systems. Our release includes all the code needed to
train new SyntaxNet models on your own data, as well as Parsey McParseface,
an English parser that we have trained for you and that you can use to analyze
English text. Parsey McParseface is
built on powerful machine learning algorithms that learn to analyze the
linguistic structure of language, and that can explain the functional role of
each word in a given sentence. Because
Parsey McParseface is the most accurate such model in the world, we hope that it will
be useful to developers and researchers interested in automatic extraction of
information, translation, and other core applications of NLU.”

Google Photos celebrates first birthday and 24 billion
selfies
Happy birthday, Google
Photos. In the year since its
launch, the service has created 1.6
billion animations, collages and movies from your snapshots, according to a
post on the
Google blog. More than that,
there've been some 2 trillion labels,
with 24 billion of them categorizing selfies. All told, the search giant says that thanks to
the cloud backup option, the app's 200
million users have collectively cleared 13.7 petabytes of storage from their phones.
