The [New York] Times is Partnering with Jigsaw to Expand Comment Capabilities
http://www.nytco.com/the-times-is-partnering-with-jigsaw-to-expand-comment-capabilities/ The New York Times is working together with Jigsaw, a technology incubator at Alphabet, Google's parent company, to improve and expand its comments section. Through the project, The Times's Community desk will be able to expand comments to more articles on NYTimes.com and increase the speed at which comments are reviewed. - - - I am *very* hopeful for these new Jigsaw projects on troll management and comment moderation to bear significant real fruit. I've long figured that the mixed AI/human approach was the only way to scale but until now the resources to really apply such techniques didn't exist in a practical way. The challenges will be enormous, because the intersection of moderation with perceived censorship, and the obvious ramifications for submitted content management in our toxic political atmosphere, will require walking a real technical and policy tightrope.
