Now an algorithm could detect Twitter abuse of women
With the increasing proliferation of online abuse or sexual violence targeting women, the latest study published by Springer Nature has reported that Queensland University of Technology (QUT) researchers have developed a sophisticated and accurate algorithm to detect these posts on Twitter and help drum it out of the Twittersphere.
The team, including Associate Professor Richi Nayak, Professor Nicolas Suzor and research fellow Dr Md Abul Bashar, is a collaboration between QUT’s faculties of Science and Engineering and Law and the Digital Media Research Centre. It mined a dataset of 1 million tweets then refined these by searching for those containing one of three abusive keywords – whore, slut, and rape.
“At the moment, the onus is on the user to report the abuse they receive. We hope our machine-learning solution can be adopted by social media platforms to automatically identify and report this content to protect women and other user groups online. The key challenge in misogynistic tweet detection is understanding the context of a tweet. The complex and noisy nature of tweets makes it difficult,” said Professor Nayak.
Asserting that teaching a machine to understand natural language is one of the more complicated ends of data science, Nayak added, “We developed a text mining system where the algorithm learns the language as it goes, first by developing a base-level understanding then augmenting that knowledge with both tweet-specific and abusive language.”
The team implemented a deep learning algorithm called Long Short-Term Memory with Transfer Learning, which means that the machine could look back at its previous understanding of terminology and change the model as it goes, learning and developing its contextual and semantic understanding over time.
While the system started with a base dictionary and built its vocabulary from there, context and intent had to be carefully monitored by the research team to ensure that the algorithm could differentiate between abuse, sarcasm and friendly use of aggressive terminology.
“Take the phrase ‘get back to the kitchen’ as an example–devoid of context of structural inequality, a machine’s literal interpretation could miss the misogynistic meaning. But seen with the understanding of what constitutes abusive or misogynistic language, it can be identified as a misogynistic tweet,” said Professor Nayak.
The research team’s model identifies misogynistic content with 75 percent accuracy, outperforming other methods that investigate similar aspects of social media language. Other methods based on word distribution or occurrence patterns identify abusive or misogynistic terminology, but the presence of a word by itself doesn’t necessarily correlate with intent.
Once the team had refined the 1 million tweets to 5000, those tweets were then categorised as misogynistic or not based on context and intent, and were input to the machine learning classifier, which used these labelled samples to begin to build its classification model.
The QUT team further added that there’s no shortage of misogynistic data out there to work with, but labelling the data was quite labour-intensive. Professor Nayak and the team hoped the research could translate into platform-level policy that would see Twitter, for example, remove any tweets identified by the algorithm as misogynistic.
According to the researchers, this modelling could also be expanded upon and used in other contexts in the future, such as identifying racism, homophobia, or abuse toward people with disabilities. The researchers further added that the end goal is to take the model to social media platforms and trial it in place. If the researchers can make identifying and removing this content easier, that can help create a safer online space for all users.

Technology is changing the way New Zealanders interact with sports
Sport and technology are not things that most people immediately associate with each other but there are several reasons why technology and the gadgets, apps and websites sports fans use are changing the way people interact with sports forever. One place where this is especially true is in New Zealand.
Sports Websites in New Zealand
In New Zealand, over 70% of residents over the age of 15 have gambled or bet, and most of this betting is done online with sports betting websites. These sports websites are hugely popular in New Zealand with total gambling and betting expenditure reaching over $2.4 billion New Zealand dollars between 2017 and 2018.
New Zealand currently has only one domestic operator that is allowed to offer sports betting from within New Zealand – the TAB NZ.
However, right now the outdated New Zealand Gambling Act doesn’t restrict Kiwis’ use of international betting websites, which has led to many Kiwis betting offshore with operators who offer better sports odds, more generous bonuses and top-notch betting apps.
The rise in popularity of online bookmakers has led the New Zealand government to begin a review of New Zealand’s current betting and gambling laws.
Sports Apps in New Zealand
Sports betting apps offer New Zealanders the opportunity to take their sports bets on the go.
With free apps that can be downloaded from the Apple Store or directly from bookmakers’ websites, betting companies are making the mobile betting experience as painless as possible for Kiwis.
Many of these apps have a variety of features like live betting, live statistics, build your bet options and secure payments which often makes betting apps even better than their desktop alternatives.
The popularity of betting apps has meant that some newer sportsbooks have created their whole company on a ‘mobile-first’ approach.
LeoVegas NZ is a prime example of this as they offer Kiwis a diverse range of sports markets and over 1100 casino games from their betting site that is optimized for mobile.
Live Streaming of Sports
Some of the top European betting companies that cater to New Zealand bettors also offer live streaming capabilities.
This means that New Zealanders no longer have to buy local sports streaming subscriptions and can instead watch high-quality football, rugby, tennis and other sports from their desktop computers or smartphones.
Bet365 and Betway are two of the top bookies for live streaming that are available in New Zealand. To access live streaming features, users just need to create a betting account and have funds in their e-wallet.
Virtual Reality and Sports
Some betting sites also offer the opportunity to view fantasy matches through VR headsets.
It is unproven whether this technology will catch on in New Zealand, and around the world, but for bettors who are looking for something extra, this is still a huge drawcard.
Summary
The popularity of sports betting sites and apps is growing faster than it ever has before and this growth is especially apparent in New Zealand where sports betting used to be dominated by local tabs for so long.
With the invention of the internet and widespread adoption of smartphones into our daily lives, technology has and will undoubtedly continue to shape the way fans interact with sports.

eSports and online gaming continue to boom in Japan amid COVID-19
Despite the Coronavirus Pandemic which has greatly affected many industries in the world, esports and the gaming industry have been exceptionally resilient. While live sports were absent in the midst of the pandemic, global consumers quickly turned to esports and online gaming for entertainment accessible from home. Japanese people were no exception to this global trend.
Earlier this year, the Japanese government announced a plan aimed at driving the domestic esports industry with an expected annual benefit of $2.6 billion (USD) by 2025. In the second quarter, PlayBrain reportedly raised fresh $6 million funds to grow esports in Japan.
Japan is fast catching up in esports regardless of having been a latecomer in comparison to its Asian neighbours such as China and South Korea. The esports revenue in the country was over $56 million in 2019 and the growth forecast is more than double, $141 million by 2024.
The pandemic further heightened the public interest in esports, taking the spotlight in Japanese media as the current corona situation continues.
Meanwhile, Japanese public gambling is thriving as well regardless of a drop in domestic household consumption caused by COVID-19. In the practice of social distancing, Japanese gamblers swiftly shifted to wager on horses and powerboats online.
Gambling in Japan has been a multi-billion dollar industry. On top of Japan’s love for Pachinko, Japanese obsession with horse racing is unstoppable, boasting revenues of $27 billion in 2019 with a steady increase over the past five consecutive years.
What is more, it’s not only the nation’s public gambling that is experiencing a boost, but foreign-owned iGaming operators are taking shares of the giant Japan market. An increasing number of offshore betting sites are attracting Japanese players to wager on a wide range of sports from J-League to Sumo.
Needless to say, the growth of esports and online betting go hand in hand. The Corona pandemic has ushered in dramatic growth and opportunities in online betting as well. Without live sports to bet on, the spike in demand for esports betting became evident.
As a matter of fact, esports betting operator, Luckbox benefited from the 500% surge in esports betting during the peak of Corona lockdown. In May, the company successfully raised $2.8 million in preparation for a listing on the Toronto Venture Exchange. Many of the sports betting providers such as DraftKings and bet365 have quickly enhanced their offerings in the esports market.
Looking at esports and online gaming scenes worldwide, these industries have been steadily evolving and shown astounding growth in recent years. The combination of increased home time and social distancing due to COVID-19 is likely to continue to drive higher demand for gaming leisure. Both esports and the online gaming industry are presented with fresh opportunities to boost their businesses in Japan, as the trend of growing interest in both sectors looks to continue to grow in the near future.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 price accidentally gets listed on its website ahead of the September 1 launch
After launching Galaxy Fold last year, the South Korean smartphone company is gearing up to launch its successor that is the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 on September 1. The company has announced its next foldable phone earlier this month at the Unpacked 2020 but now it will be hosting Unpacked Part 2 virtual event to officially launch the device. Ahead of the launch out of the blue the company accidentally shared the pricing of Galaxy Z Fold 2 online.
At the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event the company introduced Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 but it did now reveal the price of the device. But before it could officially launch the device it by mistake let the price of the Tablet slip on its UK website. The price of the Fold 2 has been set at £1,799 that translates to Rs 1,75,400 which is more expensive than its predecessor Galaxy Fold. Later on, the pricing was removed after the price was spotted by some of the journalists. And without any further delay, one of the publishers also took a screenshot.
Though this might also be a publicity stunt as in the past many of the brands have done this to promote its product. While the official pricing will be revealed on Tuesday that is September 1. The company will be hosting a formal launch event for its upcoming device where it is likely to share the price officially. The event will start at 10 am ET (7.30 pm IST).
Meanwhile, the foldable phone is available for reservations in the US and will be offered in Mystic Black and Mystic Bronze colours. The company has also collaborated with the New York fashion house Thom Browne to make available the limited Galaxy Z Fold 2 Thom Browne Edition.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 specifications
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 will be featuring a 7.6-inch Infinity-O Display that is the main screen similarly the cover screen is a 6.2-inch Infinity-O Display. That is an upgrade over its predecessor. The Samsung Galaxy Fold has a 7.3-inch primary display and a 4.6-inch cover display.
The company claims that the upcoming model brings the most unconventional flexible display. For this, the company has used Ultra-Thin Glass (UTG) which comes on the Z Flip protection over a plastic covering addressing the issue which made the company delay the shipment of its first-generation Galaxy Fold model.
The Galaxy Z Fold 2 will be carrying a 120Hz refresh rate panel for a smoother experience than Fold which offers a standard 60Hz refresh rate.
While the hinges have been re-engineered and are similar to the Z Flip which has a CAM Mechanism allowing it to open it up at multiple angles which is not present on the existing model.
The camera department has been taken care of by a triple camera setup at the back whereas the displays also include sensors for taking selfies. The camera details are yet to be known.
In addition to this, it is backed up by a 4,500mAh Dual Intelligent Battery. While the foldable is further supported by Dolby Atmos and 5G.

OnePlus Watch gets listed on IMDA certification, tipped to launch soon: Report
After doing well in the Smart Televisions category, now OnePlus is going to foray into the smartwatch business also. The company will launch its first smartwatch soon which is expected to be called OnePlus Watch. According to a report recently the wearable was spotted on the IMDA website which is an Indonesian regulatory. The device has appeared with a model number W201GB. As it has now received the certification, possibly the OnePlus Smartwatch will hit the shelves soon.
OnePlus is prepping up to foray into the smartwatch segment. A report has appeared on the internet claiming the Smartwatch has been certified by Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA). On the website, the device was spotted with its marketing name “OnePlus Watch”. It has been listed under the “Wearable Watch” category with model number W301GB. However, the information about the company’s upcoming offering is very scarce. But in the coming weeks or so we will get to see more information related to its software or design.
If these reports are to be believed then OnePlus Watch will be competing against Apple Watch and Galaxy Watch 3 from Samsung. Where Apple has delayed the launch of its next-gen iPhones due to the pandemic OnePlus is going ahead with some of the major announcements this year. Until now it has timely rolled out the OnePlus 8 Series and yes, the company’s most affordable offering OnePlus Nord. And we are pretty much sure that the Watch will soon make it to the markets in the coming months.
Well, this is not the first time we are hearing about the OnePlus smartwatch. Way back in the year 2016 the company has accepted developing its smartwatch. Interestingly even its co-founder Carl Pei has shared the sketches of the smartwatch they are working on. The sketches have revealed a round dial but the company’s plan never took off.
However, the upcoming OnePlus Watch will arrive with Google Wear OS operating system as all the OnePlus devices run on Google’s Android Operating system. The device is most likely to arrive by the end of this year. Though all these are speculation and it has risen after the launch of Oppo watch by its sister company, so you should take the information with a pinch of salt.

LG introduced PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier, with dual fans and a respiratory sensor
The electronics major LG announced a new face mask that comes with an air purifier. The company has unveiled the PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier face mask that comes with portable protection. According to the company, it will be showcasing the mask at this year’s IFA that is going to be held in September in the wearable air purifier technology category.
As per company the LG PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier face mask will be available starting the Q4 in select markets only. But before it is made available to the public it will be presented at the upcoming virtual tech event IFA 2020 that will be hosted in Berlin.
The LG PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier will be a solution to the problem of homemade or shortages or inconsistent quality of disposable masks these days. Addressing the issue, the LG face mask comes with two H13 HEPA filters which the company is already using in its home air purifier products. This will allow PuriCare masks to supply fresh, clean air indoors and outdoors.
In addition to this, the wearable also equips Dual Fans and patented Respiratory Sensor to let the users inhale clean and filtered air. While the Respiratory Sensor senses the cycle and volume of the wearer’s breath and adjusts the dual three-speed fans accordingly. Both the fans automatically get faster to assist air intake and reduce speed to decrease resistance when letting your breath out to make you breathe naturally.
The LG PuriCare Wearable has been designed for a comfortable use based on all-embracing facial shape analysis that fits comfortably on the user’s face therefore not letting any air leakage around the nose and chin area. It can be worn for a longer period of time as it is lightweight and battery operated. It comes with an 820mAh battery capacity that can deliver up to eight hours of operation in low mode and two hours on high.
In addition to this, the company also provides a case that helps to keep the face mask clean and hygienic. The case employs UV-LED lights that kills harmful germs while also keeping it charged simultaneously. Not only this, the case also sends a notification to the LG ThinQ mobile app (Android/iOS) when the filters need to be replaced for better performance.
As per LG every component of the Wearable Air Purifier from filters to the ear straps are replaceable and recyclable.
While introducing the new wearable Dan Song, president of LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company said “The PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier is an exciting addition to our growing line-up of products designed to deliver meaningful health and hygiene benefits.” He further added, “At a time when consumers are seeking ways to make life safer and more convenient, it’s important that we’re able to offer solutions that add measurable value.”

Amazon Halo band and companion app introduced for tech freaks
In what seems to be a competition with Apple and Fitbit, Amazon has now introduced its Amazon Halo band and companion app for tech freaks to help them improve their health and wellness. Members can access a suite of AI-powered features through the Amazon Halo app, powered by the comfortable, innovative Amazon Halo Band. Monitor activity and sleep, analyze the user’s body composition and tone of voice and discover healthy habits that work for them. Halo is available via early access for US customers.
“Halo is a new service designed to help you continually improve your individual health and wellness through better understanding it. That means we provide not just useful information, but also ways to put that information into action. Halo takes activity and sleep tracking a step further, plus introduces innovative new tools like body composition measurement, tone of voice analysis, and expert-backed habit labs,” said Melissa Cha, Vice President of Amazon Halo.
Amazon applied its long-term expertise in computer vision (CV) and machine learning (ML) towards developing “Body,” a feature within Amazon Halo, the new health and wellness membership. With Body, the users can easily measure and track their BFP from the comfort and privacy of their own home, using only the smartphone’s camera and the Amazon Halo app. The body is powered by artificial intelligence (AI) developed by the CV and ML team and includes a suite of algorithms that can generate their personalized 3D body model, BFP, and body model slider, a vision of how the body could change as the users gain or lose body fat.
The BFP measurement in Amazon Halo is as accurate as methods a doctor would use and nearly twice as accurate as leading at-home smart scales. So, if you’re used to getting your BFP from a smart scale, you should expect to see a difference. We tested accuracy using Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) which is considered the clinical gold standard for body composition and widely used, but these machines would require a doctor’s prescription.
Whether the bathroom or bedroom, the users can take a body scan wherever they are most comfortable. They will need to wear tight, minimal clothing, tie up your hair, and keep about 4-6 feet of space between themselves and their phone. Once ready, the Amazon Halo app shows you exactly how to stand and guides you through taking four scan images—front, back, and each side.
“In seconds, you’ll see your personalized 3D body model, BFP, and body model slider in the Amazon Halo app. It’s that simple! The model gives you a 3D view of your body at the time of that scan. Amazon Halo helps you understand where your BFP stands in relation to people of the same sex and age, and the slider can help you visualize how your body could change as you gain or lose body fat. Keeping the conditions consistent between scans will help achieve the best result. It takes time for your body fat to change. We recommend taking scans every 2 weeks and observe trends over a longer duration to track progress. We were excited to pilot the Body feature with WW members—more than 80 percent said it was a useful or motivational tool in their journey,” an Amazon blog post revealed.
Amazon further added that health is inherently personal, and taking photographic scans of your body is about as private as it gets. This is the reason why Amazon Halo and Body were built with privacy in mind. The body scan images are automatically deleted from the cloud after processing. After that, the images and resulting personalized 3D body models are only stored locally on your phone. This means no one but you ever sees them unless you choose to share them with a friend or coach. And, of course, you can download or delete your Body data any time through the Settings tab in the Amazon Halo app that comes with Amazon Halo Band.
Furthermore, you can also opt-into storing your Body scan images in the secure Amazon cloud. The users can opt back out any time directly from the Amazon Halo app and the images will automatically be deleted from the cloud.
