Google launches tool to help curb online hate speech @ Perspective Tool

Google has launched an artificial-intelligence tool that identifies abusive comments online, helping publishers respond to

growing pressure to clamp down on hate speech. It is a freely available software named as Perspective, and is being tested

by a range of news organisations, including the New York Times, the Guardian and the Economist, as a way to help

simplify the jobs of humans reviewing comments on their stories. “News organisations want to encourage engagement

and discussion around their content, but find that sorting through millions of comments to find those that are trolling or

abusive takes a lot of money, labour and time,” said Jared Cohen, president of Jigsaw, the Google social incubator that

built the tool. “As a result, many sites have shut down comments altogether. But they tell us that isn’t the solution they

want.”

Perspective helps to filter abusive comments more quickly for human review. The algorithm was trained on hundreds of

thousands of user comments that had been labelled as “toxic” by human reviewers, on sites such as Wikipedia and

the New York Times. It works by scoring online comments based on how similar they are to comments tagged as “toxic”

or likely to make someone leave a conversation.

Google is not the first to attempt to curb trolling online. Earlier this month, Twitter stepped up its efforts by making

tweaks to hide abuse from its users, rather than remove content from the platform completely.

Report of two days International Conference organised by the Department of Library and Information

Science, AMU, Aligarh The Department of Library and Information Science, Aligarh Muslim University organised an International Conference on

‘Knowledge Generation, Discovery and Networking’ (KGDAN-2017) under the UGC SAP DRS-I programme and co-

sponsored by ICSSR, New Delhi on 15-16 February, 2017.

The conference was inaugurated by Brigadier S. Ahmad Ali, Pro-Vice Chancellor, AMU. The Chief Guest of the inaugural

session was Prof. P. B. Mangla (Former Tagore National Fellow, Govt. of India, Ministry of Culture; Member, National

Knowledge Commission). Prof. N. Laxman Rao, President, Telangana Library Association, Ex-Professor Emeritus, Osmania

University, Hyderabad and Dr. Gopal Bhushan (Director, DESIDOC, New Delhi) were Guests of Honour. Prof. Gabriel

In his opening remarks, Prof. Husain welcomed all the dignitaries and delegates of the conference and initiated the tone

for the intellectual discourse by mentioning the discovery and generation techniques of knowledge and knowledge based

products. He said that there are treasures of knowledge hidden in the best brains of humankind accumulated through the

vast experiences of life and developing systems of pulling out and expressing the learned knowledge is the need of the hour

and thus the theme of the conference. By giving some of the examples of knowledge systems developed for doctors and the

patients and the experiences therein can be of immense help for the newer generations in the field and similar systems can

be reflected in other subjects.

While congratulating the organising secretary and the DLIS for organising such a theme based conference, honourable

Pro-Vice Chancellor, Brigadier S. Ahmad Ali (Veteran) advocated that knowledge is the essence of life and collecting the

explicit knowledge and brewing the tacit knowledge is all the very hectic process. There is a reservoir of information

hidden in the treasure of human minds which very often remains untraced and unexpressed. The libraries can play their

role in order to unhide the hidden.

There will be always a proportionate ratio between what is known and what is unknown; and the curiosity of human

mind to know the unknown will be always there, expressed Prof. P. B. Mangla during his inaugural address. In his

Keynote address, Prof. Gabriel Gomez opined that the knowledge and information discovered should be utilised for

undertaking different projects for the welfare and wellbeing of poor people in our society. He shared his experiences of

some of the knowledge projects for socially marginalised people with new ideas and innovations.

There were six technical sessions of the conference in which more than 26 high quality research papers were presented by

the delegates from India and abroad along with 10 invited talks, which was followed by a highly informative and fruitful

panel discussion.

congratulated the organising team for the success of the conference.

The conference concluded with the Valedictory Session that began with a welcome address by Prof. Shabahat Husain,

has become the biggest attraction for the Aligarh. These rare artefacts were earlier not available to public for viewing
