Inria Project Lab iCODA – Page 2 – Knowledge-mediated Content and Data Analytics

iCODA, where data and content meets knowledge for journalism!

One of today’s major issues in data science is the design of algorithms that allow analysts to efficiently infer useful information and knowledge by collaboratively inspecting heterogeneous information sources, from structured data to unstructured content. Taking data journalism as an emblematic use-case, the goal of the project is to develop the scientific and technological foundations for knowledge-mediated user-in-the-loop collaborative data analytics on heterogenous information sources, and to demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach in realistic, high-visibility use-cases. The project stands at the crossroad of multiple research fields—content analysis, data management, knowledge representation, visualization—that span multiple Inria themes, and counts on a club of major press partners to define usage scenarios, provide data and demonstrate achievements.

iCODA members interviewed on fake news detection

Researchers from the iCODA project interviewed in a report on fake news detection published in Le Monde’s website. In this report, Inria’s teams CEDAR and Linkmedia, together with journalists from Le Monde and AFP, explains how data and image processing benefits the chase of fake news. The report presents results from companion projects of ICODA, namely the ANR ContentCheck and H2020 InVid projects, which served as a seminal inspiration for iCODA.
