SHENZHEN, China, Dec. 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — RealNetworks, Inc. (NASDAQ: RNWK), a leader in digital media software and services, announced today that it has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Shenzhen Homtar High-Tech Co., Ltd. RealNetworks and Homtar will work together to localize SAFR^TM for China. Through this partnership, RealNetworks, one of the world’s leading innovators in facial recognition, will enter China’s burgeoning facial recognition technology market.

RealNetworks’ SAFR platform is based on artificial intelligence, which enables the system to deliver industry-leading accuracy and detailed analytics, specifically designed to identify faces in real-world conditions, including people in motion, in dim lighting, and at occluded angles. SAFR can reliably match against millions of faces in under a second. It also can handle a variety of conditions, including face makeup, hats, glasses, varying hair style, and aging. In addition, it has a high tolerance to facial yaw, tilt and rotation, minimizing errors by allowing error rate adjustment.

According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), RealNetworks’ computer vision achieved a high performance rating with an accuracy score of 0.048 for Wild Faces FNMR. In a test developed by the University of Massachusetts, SAFR achieved a 99.8% accuracy score for “labeled faces in the wild” (LFW).

In addition to world-class accuracy, SAFR delivers exceptional efficiency and flexibility, working with existing IP cameras and readily available hardware to match faces in real time, enhancing secure access. SAFR supports cloud and on-premises local storage. System integrators and application developers can easily integrate with the SAFR platform through RESTful APIs, SDKs and dashboards.

Furthermore, SAFR encrypts all facial data and images to ensure privacy. When used locally, no personal or facial data is transmitted over the internet.

“RealNetworks uses the latest computer vision, machine learning theory and technical methods to develop the industry-leading SAFR software. We achieved excellent results by training for faces in photos and videos from real-life video. We are very happy that we can work together with Homtar to commercialize this technology in China,” said RealNetworks’ Chief Technology Officer Reza Rassool.

Homtar will launch the technology with its partner Shenzhen Wiseme Electronics Co., Ltd. Ms. Lin Luhua, Chairman of Homtar Corp. said, “We’re excited that RealNetworks’ advanced SAFR technology will be promoted and operated in China. Through the development of localized applications, we will bring safer and more efficient products to our partners. The first trial system will be launched in Shenzhen with Kingbrother Tech Ltd. within one month.”

RealNetworks and Homtar will work together to develop a series of commercial applications of SAFR products in the future, including VIP identification, retail analytics, secure area monitoring, live data collection, visitor IDs and screenings, and digital signatures. Valuable demographic data can also be collected and compiled from these applications.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — The markets react based on new information and traders lack the ability to analyze the market in real time. A lot of new information streams into the markets all the time, digesting this information is difficult for a human. BetterTrader’s AI can process a huge amount of data in a short period of time and generate trade ideas. The most essential barrier is that development of AI infrastructure which is critical for effective work of AI, is extremely expensive.

Time is a key element in trading.

Eyal Mor, CEO of BetterTrader.co, commented: “Most traders are not aware of the existence and do not use the most advanced technology, in most cases, AI is available only inside hedge funds and banks’ trading rooms for internal use and not accessible to the public.”

BetterTrader.co is an AI-powered information platform

CHICAGO, Dec. 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Compliance monitoring has become a hot topic in artificial intelligence (AI) in 2018. This has led a number of banks to explore how new technology can help reduce fraud, money laundering, and insider trading amongst other regulatory infractions.

ING Bank started this journey early; in 2015 they engaged with Intelligent Voice®, a leading supplier of speech recognition and compliance software in the financial services market, to see how innovative technology can be used to improve their processes.

During that time, Relativity, the industry-leaders in e-Discovery software, started its partnership with Intelligent Voice to deliver an integrated, end-to-end system that would bring together the best of Intelligent Voice’s AI technology with Relativity’s world class platform. Now, ING has signed on to leverage Relativity Trace, a new app for proactive risk management and compliance. ING plans to use the combined solution to proactively monitor and stop suspicious activity, like insider trading, collusion, and improper investment management practices, before they become a problem within its business.

ING has gone live with Intelligent Voice and Relativity Trace in its Amsterdam location and is already monitoring almost 400 traders across email and IM, with voice following shortly. This is the beginning of a global roll out that will monitor data from over 1200 traders worldwide in a dozen languages.

“The combination of IV and Relativity has allowed us to build a fully distributed review capability for the compliance monitoring team capable of handling all electronic communications. The small footprint offered by IV’s GPU powered speech recognition means we can deploy this at a significantly lower operating cost than other solutions saving both rack space and energy. Next to that we have seen that the voice transcribing accuracy for our purpose is proven higher that 85%. Installation started in July 2018 and we are already up and running with the first phase in November 2018.”
Paul Braakman, ING

“It has been our pleasure to work with ING in bringing this innovative new package to market. The professionalism of the ING team has allowed us to give the bank great value in a short period of time.“
Ben Shellie, CEO, Intelligent Voice

“We are thrilled to partner with Intelligent Voice and ING on this exciting initiative. Intelligent Voice’s connectors enable ING to push all of their communication data proactively to Relativity Trace, so their compliance team can quickly take action on suspicious activity.“
Jordan Domash, General Manager of Relativity Trace

IV and Relativity Trace are available as both on prem and cloud solutions to enable companies large and small to monitor all electronic and audio communications.

Intelligent Voice coupled with Relativity provides the industry’s most capable and secure audio, email, and chat review platform.

ROSELAND, N.J., Dec. 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — As a leading provider of research on labor markets, people and performance, ADP^® today announced the biggest trends that could impact the workplace in 2019.

Looking back at the state of the labor market according to the monthly ADP National Employment Report^® and quarterly Workforce Vitality Report, the U.S. workforce experienced historic gains in 2018.  Specifically, in 2018 the unemployment rate fell to a near 50-year low, more than two million jobs were added, and wage increases began to accelerate in 2018.  Wages increased nearly an average of $1 per hour from last year, and the average wage increase for job switchers was 5.8 percent, while job holders saw a 4.7 percent increase.

“With 2018 employment levels at an all-time high and broad-based wage growth taking root, the U.S. job market is more dynamic than ever,” said Don Weinstein, Chief Product and Technology Officer, ADP.  “In 2019, employers and workers will increase their focus on issues ranging from the personalization of pay, to an increasing mosaic of workers that span fulltime to gig, data privacy issues, and more.”

Trends for 2019:

The Personalization of Pay

– With workers being able to personalize almost every aspect of their personal and professional lives, employers will need to adopt flexible options around pay schedules and provide financial wellness tools to employees.

• Digital accounts will become an increasingly common option for employees that allow access to pay how and when they want.
• The weekly, bi-weekly or monthly payroll cycle will evolve into schedules that meet the needs of each individual worker.
• Today, 86 percent employees are interested in using non-traditional financial tools to manage their pay.  Tools that enable workers to manage and budget take-home pay, while automatically tracking spending and suggesting budgets, will help them meet their financial goals.

Ensuring Workforce Agility

– Employers will continue to shift to a mosaic of workers to meet business needs, increase their focus on employment engagement and embrace the importance of the team.

• As organizations become more agile, they will have a greater reliance on freelancers and contractors to help bridge the skills gap and scale effectively.  Employers need to assess the right mix of freelancers (1099), temps and traditional fulltime workers (Form W-2) to best meet their increasingly on-demand business objectives.  As a result, employers will need to manage worker classifications in a more dynamic manner. 
• Today’s workforce has more generations working than ever before.  With Gen Z workers entering and Baby Boomers retiring from fulltime work, employers will need to limit “brain drain” and engage workers in new and creative ways.
• As employers struggle to retain and engage employees, many will change how they approach the annual performance review and opt to move to new performance-based models where the frequency of team leader check-ins is key to increasing engagement.  In fact, data shows that associate engagement is 57 percent higher when a team leader frequently checks in with their team members.
• Organizations will increasingly demand HR systems that account for and manage where work gets done.  Today, more than 82 percent of work gets done on teams.  As teams organically form to address business needs, companies need to be able to track employee performance in a more matrixed environment.  Systems need to track what team members do well, what they enjoy and foster ways to do more of it.  Rather than focusing on developing weaknesses, models will shift to help workers discover their strengths and leverage them more at work.

Diversity and Inclusion

– Pressure for employers to deliver against diversity and inclusion initiatives will continue.

• The business case for diversity had an enormous spotlight placed on it in 2018.  From the lack of women and minorities in leadership roles, to the challenges workers faced in reporting issues.  Despite this attention, organizations still struggle to make progress in this critical area.  According to findings from Rethinking Gender Pay Inequity in a More Transparent World, a study released by the ADP Research Institute^®, women are paid on average 17 percent ($13,640) less in base salary than men.  However, when factoring in incentive pay, the total earnings pay gap widens to 19 percent ($18,500).
• In 2019, organizations will need to address the gender pay gaps by focusing on key metrics and diversity and inclusion initiatives that demonstrate progress in both pay and bonuses.

Democratization of Data

– Employers and employees will benefit from better access to deeper workplace insights.

• Providing business leaders with data that delivers meaningful and actionable workforce insights, as well improving industry competitiveness, will become the new norm.  An increased focus will be placed on how easy it is for leaders to consume and put data into action.  HR systems will increasingly tap into artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to serve up insights in real time.    
• Workers will also have more access to data through financial wellness and professional development tools that support their goals both inside and outside the workplace.
• Data privacy will continue to remain an industry and public focus with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).  Other countries and states will continue to look at privacy rights.

Digital Consumer-Grade Human Resources

– Employers and employees will continue to demand that the technology they use at work be as user friendly as what they use in their personal lives.

• This push will require HR solutions to be fully mobile enabled, cloud-based, open to APIs and designed with the end user in mind.
• HR technology and data will need to be accessed, shared and be able to be integrated across functions and bridge internal business silos.

DENVER, Dec. 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Efforts to broaden participation in STEM and computing have been in process for decades, yet our technology workforce continues to suffer from a lack of diversity, and the demand for computing jobs continues to significantly exceed the pipeline. Exposure to a breadth of technology careers and access to more engaging career exploration leads to an improved awareness and perception of computing careers, according to a new research report from STEM education provider Couragion and Oracle Academy.

After exposure to tech careers, students expressed positive or neutral sentiment about tech career pathways 75% of the time. High numbers of students (aged 10 to 16) received a ʻBest Fitʼ for Data, Design, and Product careers. This is especially true for females and students of color, whereby 2 to 3.5X more students received ʻBest Fitsʼ for Data, Design, and Product careers compared to Programming careers.

“Based on these findings, if students better understand a broader array of tech career opportunities, the number of students pursuing computer science pathways would be greater,” said Melissa Risteff, CEO and Co-Founder of Couragion. “Those charged with postsecondary readiness and student transitions often don’t understand the tech career opportunities beyond a software developer. Career competence should be part of every educator’s job so that we can integrally incorporate career pathway exploration into our education system to expand perspectives and broaden participation in technology and computing.”

“At Oracle Academy, we believe all students should have the knowledge and skills to achieve their dreams; in the 21^st century, this necessarily includes computer science,” said Alison Derbenwick Miller, Vice President of Oracle Academy. “The lack of diversity in computing continues to be a challenge, but we are encouraged by Couragion’s latest research findings that shift how we understand and address the engagement of underrepresented populations. Perhaps part of the solution we are seeking isn’t in changing how we teach computer science. Instead, it is in changing how we frame and contextualize computer science with students.”

The research report is an ‘insider view’ from the student’s perspective about their perception of tech careers and which indicators influence their own quest for occupational identity. Key findings include:

• UX and Data Science career pathways attracted females and students of color 60 to 70% of the time which is an unanticipated higher than average rate
• Only 1/3 of students had affinity for the Software Developer career – landing at the bottom of the list of all tech careers explored, regardless of gender or race

Educators, advocates and career influencers can leverage these research findings to improve their teaching and learning with respect to what inspires individuals and how they select careers. The findings establish that computing careers can be for everyone.

The full report is available at: www.couragion.com/cs-report.

About Oracle Academy:
As Oracle’s flagship philanthropic educational program, Oracle Academy advances computing education globally to drive knowledge, innovation, skills development, and diversity in technology fields. In FY 2018, Oracle Academy worked with more than 15,000 educational institutions across 128 countries, supporting 6.3 million students worldwide. Oracle Academy offers educational institutions and educators free curriculum, resources, training, cloud-hosted technology and software, support, and certification resources. The program works with public and private partners to provide the tools educators need to engage, inspire and prepare students to become innovators and leaders of the future. Through Oracle Academy, students receive hands-on experience with the latest technologies, helping make them college and career ready in the era of big data, artificial intelligence, machine learning, cloud computing, Internet of Things, and beyond.

About Couragion:  
Couragion provides STEM career literacy and workforce development solutions for educators, students, and advocates.
