The impact of artificial intelligence in communication, the subject of a special edition of UPF’s journal Hipertext.net
In this special issue, some fifteen experts on communication and digital technologies from universities from around the world analyse the impact of artificial intelligence in areas of communication such as the generation of texts, images, videos and sound and the concept of copyright. During recent months, the social debate around the implications of artificial intelligence (AI) have intensified in many areas, such as the generation of texts and images or of audiovisual content.

Two professors develop a new algorithm to uncover patterns of voting behaviour
The professors José M. Pavia from the Universitat of València, and Rafael Romero from the Universitat Politécnica de Valencia, have developed a new algorithm to able to decipher individual electoral behaviour from aggregated data. The new procedure has been published in Sociological Methods and Research, a prestigious journal of social science methodology.

A mobile application will compare archaeological materials through their chemical composition
A study led by María Luisa Cervera, Full Professor of Analytical Chemistry at the University of Valencia (UV), concludes that smartphones are a potential tool for comparing archaeological samples. The work has been developed through the ArchaeChemis Research Unit of the institution, in which Gianni Gallello, a researcher from the Department of Prehistory, Archaeology and Ancient History, collaborates, and for the first time the smartphone is considered as a key tool to study vestiges from the past.

New computer vision system designed to analyse cells in microscopy videos
Researchers at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) have developed a system based on computer vision techniques that allows automatic analysis of biomedical videos captured by microscopy in order to characterise and describe the behaviour of the cells that appear in the images. These new techniques developed by the UC3M engineering team have been used for measurements on living tissues, in research carried out with scientists from the National Centre for Cardiovascular Research (CNIC in its Spanish acronym).

Voice assistants could be used for life coaching
Researchers from UPF and the UAB have developed a conversational agent for life coaching with very positive results. Life coaching is a process in which a life coach helps a person to identify and achieve the most important goals for them personally and professionally. The idea is to provide the person with tools and show them attitudes that allow them to take control of their decision and make it a reality.

Artificial intelligence identifies the tiger mosquito from the photos received in the Mosquito Alert app
Artificial intelligence, combined with citizen science, will provide real-time detection of the tiger mosquito on a large scale and, as a result, will allow faster control of this disease transmitter. The deep learning algorithm that has been trained with more than 7,000 anonymous photographs received in the Mosquito Alert app between 2015 and 2019, is able to correctly identify 96% of tiger mosquito photographs.
