Robots write news? What do Reporters eat?

It is no longer a dream to ask robots to help or even write news reports on behalf of them. The Los Angeles Times and the British guardian have begun to try this practice, which aroused the curiosity of netizens. In early July, a 4.4-magnitude earthquake occurred in California, and the Los Angeles Times was the fastest news media to report the news on its website, but what is even more surprising is that the manuscript was not written by a reporter, but by a writing robot. It took only three minutes for the robot to write and publish the manuscript.

Of course, everyone will wonder how robots do this? In fact, the principle is very simple: the US Geological Survey System sent seismic information to the Los Angeles Times earthquake news automatic generation system, and the system filled the data with ready-made templates, then we completed a report. This system was developed by reporter and programmer k En Schw enck. In addition to writing Earthquake Emergency robots, the Los Angeles Times also has a robot dedicated to collecting local suicide news from Los Angeles. The editors will decide which news is worth tracking and determine the news subject to report.

Now that robots can start writing independently, isn't this really so reliable?

Can robots replace humans?

The most important thing for Robot reporters to write is to accumulate high-quality and high-volume data. This is why finance and sports have become the frontier for software writers: These two topics contain data fluctuations, such as the earnings of each stock and stock volatility. But at present, the robot reporter has encountered a small problem: all news and comments will only target the winner. For example, when a strong team is defeated by unexpected opponents, all comments starting with result data will instantly become very mean and humiliated. The Sports Federation asked to describe how science could help the software write articles praising the players' performance when the team loses, but obviously the machine people could not write the words "Although the team is defeated.

Perhaps for a similar reason, the tsunami in which computers automatically write news will not overwhelm paying news creators, and the software systems they develop are not meant to win a job for anyone. On the contrary, computers can generate more information treasures and produce very cheap, but completely readable reports on current affairs, trends, and other fields, these may have never been involved by human journalists. The growth of science will improve the overall level of the news industry-the application of software can free the news industry from simple documentary reports, in addition, we will go further and wider into the direction of descriptive news.

Even in some ways, human and computer computing can work seamlessly, for example, robots use their perfect memory system to become perfect editing assistants for human journalists. Or, in turn, human journalists can interview topics and select casual details, and then send the information to computers to complete the final drafting task.

So the news robot will make our press releases better and better, instead of being as consistent and stiff as we think.

Robots write news, coming soon

The weakness of manual press writing lies in the fact that manual writing is not timely in response to emergencies. The main reason why news is called news is that it quickly transmits messages to the masses, but the time it takes to break into its love is always slower than that of robots. Taking the earthquake in California as an example, when an earthquake occurs, the first reason is to ensure personal safety in response to physiological reactions. After ensuring personal safety, the system starts to manually Query Information accuracy and then collect data, is it possible to complete the manuscript, edit, review, and release for three minutes? Therefore, robots write press releases to fill in this sudden loophole.

In other aspects, the "mechanization and standardization" manuscript that has been criticized by people for writing press releases about robots is actually to let robots convert data into stories, the real difficulty lies in how to make it look like a human, because only data is not a good story. However, more than 0.3 billion of the current writing robots can be used in different news, making it even more unimaginable that "they" generated 2013 New news in 0.3 billion, more than all other media. Robots eliminate the drawbacks of traditional media because they can instantly respond and process large amounts of data in a short time.

Even if we take a step back and say that the robots write the manuscript to lose the pleasure of reading the manuscript in a humane and personal style, the robots who can write the press release can directly repair the manuscript based on the press release provided by the template, it can completely ensure the integration of personal style and the existence of reading pleasure. colleagues also ensure the accuracy of data. Therefore, the press release robot will not take away the work of journalists, nor reduce our reading pleasure. It will only free them from the complex data statistics work, spend more time writing perfect manuscripts for us. (New technology discovery: Kang standing/Wen)
