March 23, 2022 /

Opinion / Analysis

The Elephant in the room: The myth of exponential hypergrowth

Fast-growing startups are frequently described as “exponential,” especially when the product is “viral.” Turns out, this is incorrect, even for Facebook and Slack. If you have an incorrect model, you don’t understand growth, which means you can’t control it, nor predict it. Here is a different model to understand how companies actually grow.

This is a must-read from Jason Cohen — not just for investors and startups, but business, marketing, and product managers. Well written with lots of great supporting charts. h/t: @dharmesh

Super.AI updates its Unstructured Data Processing platform

March 22, 2022 /

Super.AI announced the latest version of the company’s Unstructured Data Processing (UDP) Platform, to make it easier for global business services and IT departments to expand the scope and pace of intelligent automation.

Shared services centers typically deploy multiple point solutions for document processing, sensitive information redaction, and processing other forms of unstructured data such as emails, text, images, video, and audio. Super.AI’s UDP Platform unifies intelligent document processing (IDP), human-in-the-loop (HITL), redaction, and processing of any data type — reducing the number of platforms needed for intelligent automation. Enhancements in the latest release include:

  • Next-generation intelligent document processing (IDP) that utilizes artificial intelligence technology to deliver the highest quality results.
  • Efficient and accurate document, image, audio, and video redaction to streamline regulatory compliance and reduce risk.
  • Reimagined human-in-the-loop capabilities for data validation and labeling, allowing organizations to incorporate third-party and in-house experts into automation workflows.
  • 150+ quality control mechanisms built into the platform that guarantee output and ensure service level agreements (SLAs) are met.

Brightspot and ethinking partner to deliver CMS transformation

March 22, 2022 /

Brightspot, a content management system (CMS) provider, has announced a partnership with ethinking, a Berlin-based digital agency. Brightspot and ethinking will be partnering on their first joint customer project with RTL Luxembourg, a media organization in Luxembourg. In this joint project, both partners will work to migrate RTL Luxembourg’s current CMS to the next generation BrightspotCMS. Additional client updates include ethinking’s implementation of ‘XP Layer’ for the RTL Luxembourg user platform, headless low-code software developed to act as an interface between data sources and content channels.

With XP Layer, the CMS can be centrally controlled with websites, apps and other digital playout channels, and expanded and connected with all conceivable sources. The solution connects all necessary services and sources of a business-oriented platform, controlled by a widget-based construction kit, without requiring deep IT intervention.

Beyond the RTL Luxembourg project, both companies plan to continue future collaboration opportunities to bring Brightspot CMS and ethinking XP Layer to a wider net of content-focused organizations. This new project and subsequent initiatives come on the heels of Brightspot’s expansion to its ‘API-first capabilities’ partner program.

Stepes launches continuous terminology management solution

March 16, 2022 /

Stepes, a global provider of professional translation services on the cloud, announced the official launch of its AI-powered terminology solution for automated glossary creation and continuous multilingual terminology management. Companies understand the importance of terminology management in ensuring enterprise translation accuracy and linguistic consistency across the global content supply chain.

Stepes automates terminology extraction, term translation, and glossary creation seamlessly into our professional online translation workflow. This fully automated, transparent terminology management process allows our clients to achieve the better translation performance without getting bogged down with time-consuming terminology tasks, while systematically growing enterprise multilingual termbases. By integrating the end-to-end terminology management process into our professional translation workflows on the cloud, Stepes raises multilingual enterprise localization performance to a higher level of globalization ROI.

Gilbane Advisor 3-16-22 — Words matter, hydrating tweets

March 16, 2022 /

This week we feature an article from Emily Tucker.

Additional reading is from Aruna Pisharody, David Rodenas, Cobus Greyling, and Hecate He.

News comes from Adobe, Wrike, Interprefy & Microsoft, and Syncro Soft.

Opinion / Analysis

Artifice and intelligence

The Center on Privacy & Technology at Georgetown Law’s Emily Tucker explains why they will stop using the terms “artificial intelligence”, “AI”, and “machine learning” in their work. She is certainly correct that words matter, and that the widespread lack of understanding and misuse of the terms is problematic. At the same time, not all institutional misuse is top-down and intentionally driven by greed and control – language laziness is pervasive and a bigger problem. Tucker’s proposed guidelines for replacement language are reasonable, though I don’t think “machine training” helps as replacement for “machine learning”.
