The course is available on Canvas Network, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about this technology. Below are some of the things and resources I learned from the course.

Machine Learning Projects (And Some Are For Writers!)

Thursday, February 6, 2020 by Sabrina Ricci

I recently finished my first machine learning project! I was able to follow along with Robin Sloan's writing with the machine project, and I trained a different dataset, to some hilarious results. It was a lot of fun, and now I'm trying to dive more into neural networks and figure out more projects I can try. If you're interested, here are some resources and tools to learn more … [Read more...] about Machine Learning Projects (And Some Are For Writers!)

Cool Tech-Related Projects and News

Monday, August 5, 2019 by Sabrina Ricci

These were all too good not to share. Awesome Projects "The Lab Discovering DNA in Old Books" on The Atlantic: "Studying the DNA in artifacts is still a relatively new field, with many prospects that remain unexplored. But in our own modern world, we’ve already started to change the biological record, and future archaeologists will not find the same trove of hidden … [Read more...] about Cool Tech-Related Projects and News

Technology and Publishing

Monday, March 4, 2019 by Sabrina Ricci

Tech, including tools and developments in machine learning, have become more prevalent, leading to a lot of interesting experiments and projects. One that caught my eye recently is a neural network that wrote a novel about its own cross-country road trip. Ross Goodwin took a road trip from Brooklyn to New Orleans, and hooked up a GPS, microphone, laptop, and printer to the … [Read more...] about Technology and Publishing

The world is full of fun, creative people. Every day, I hear about awesome projects. They're so cool, I want to share them here. Though they're not all book-related, they are media related, and since technology is bringing all kinds of different media together, it's good to know what kinds of things different kinds of creators are making.

209 Examples and Trends Impacting the Future of Storytelling

Thursday, November 8, 2018 by Sabrina Ricci

Storytelling comes in a variety of formats: as books, articles, podcasts, films, and more. It seems every week there's something new and cool coming out of the works, so I thought I'd highlight some of them here (in no particular order). Also, there's a lot that can be learned from other people's stories! New Tech / Tools / Platforms Book Marketing Book Title Generator … [Read more...] about 209 Examples and Trends Impacting the Future of Storytelling

Guest Post: A Brief History of ASR, Automatic Speech Recognition

Thursday, September 20, 2018 by Sabrina Ricci

By Jason Kincaid This moment has been a long time coming. The technology behind speech recognition has been in development for over half a century, going through several periods of intense promise — and disappointment. So what changed to make ASR viable in commercial applications? And what exactly could these systems accomplish, long before any of us had heard of … [Read more...] about Guest Post: A Brief History of ASR, Automatic Speech Recognition

New Ways to Read

Thursday, August 1, 2013 by Sabrina Ricci

You've heard it all before. Startups, new websites, and even big powerhouses are all developing technology to disrupt how we collaborate, publish, and read. Today I want to focus on all the new ways we can read and absorb content. Sure, there are e-books, and there are even enhanced e-books with videos, but I've compiled a list of sources that have created either new ways to … [Read more...] about New Ways to Read

Living in a Sci-Fi World

Thursday, January 17, 2013 by Sabrina Ricci

CES (Consumer Electronics Association) was last week, and companies demoed a lot of really cool gadgets. One I think is worth sharing is a product by Tactus, a company in California. Tactus developed a screen that can turn into a flat tablet into something with actual bumpy buttons, to make it easier to type. When you're not using the typepad, the buttons just disappear back … [Read more...] about Living in a Sci-Fi World

The Coming of Age of E-Textbooks?

Monday, January 14, 2013 by Sabrina Ricci

By Phoebe (Own work) [CC BY-SA 3.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0)], via Wikimedia Commons

I'm not as familiar with what's going on with e-textbooks, but there seems to have been a lot of exciting developments recently. One thing I often hear about e-textbooks is that, despite the expectation that young people, particularly college students, would be the first to eagerly adopt all things digital, most students don't like e-textbooks as much as physical books. The … [Read more...] about The Coming of Age of E-Textbooks?

New Ways of Storytelling

Thursday, August 9, 2012 by Sabrina Ricci

Technology is exciting, and it makes it possible to find innovative ways to tell stories. I've found a few companies/sites that are experimenting with the way people share their stories. Cowbird: lets you tell stories that fit in to one word categories via pictures of videos. FacebookStories: shows off interesting ways people use Facebook.

Tracking Twitter at the New York Times

Tuesday, April 26, 2011 by Sabrina Ricci

When I think of The New York Times, I do not think of technology. Yet, the newspaper has a sophisticated Research and Development Lab, which has been finding new ways for the company to make money in the digital age. I had the opportunity to tour the R&D Lab a few weeks ago, and now I can share one of the things I learned. NYT tracks the life of all their stories on … [Read more...] about Tracking Twitter at the New York Times

Finally, an Optimistic Look at the Media

Wednesday, October 27, 2010 by Sabrina Ricci

That's basically how the mandatory The Case for Media Optimism panel was described to us NYU publishing kids. I was skeptical about how the panel last night would go. After all, for the past five years of so all I've heard is about the death of print, the death of journalism, the death of media, etc. But I was pleasantly surprised. The panel was moderated by David Carr, the … [Read more...] about Finally, an Optimistic Look at the Media
