It then creates a visual representation of this data showing the rise, fall and intensity of each trend”. Jahangir also said, “This is the first time such a technologically advanced AI platform has been developed for news and media organizations. This is not only a first in Pakistan but also in the region.”In addition to this, DADA analyses the sentiments people have on a variety of trends i.e. whether people feel positively or negatively about the subject. The platform can allow newsrooms to analyze data, identify patterns and trends, derive actionable insights from multiple sources, patterns that the naked eye can’t see and understand sentiment. This will help news organizations and reporters to spend less time on repetitive tasks and grunt work. DADA is streamlining workflows, automating mundane tasks, crunching more data, digging out insights and generating additional outputs. With AI powered news collection, journalists will serve as editorial gatekeepers, allowing them to engage in more complex and qualitative work.Now in its 16th year, the annual PASHA ICT Awards aim to provide recognition to the software and service companies of Pakistan by providing them an opportunity to gain local, regional and international exposure through on-going promotional activities.
