AI breaks the sound barrier
The story of artificial intelligence and text recognition dates back many years, but sound recognition is a much more recent endeavour and, as a field of research, is still in the teething stages. The subtleties of sound are a major challenge for machines in terms of assimilation, and understanding those subtleties can be very difficult. […]

Auditing AI: when algorithms come under scrutiny
Transparency of algorithms is an essential component of an ethical and responsible artificial intelligence. The concept has emerged in response to the growing use of AI systems in sensitive areas and their impact on the lives of individuals as well as on society as a whole. While AI is a powerful tool for fighting inequality, […]

International crisis prevention, management and resolution: the assets of AI
Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies make it possible to spot patterns in large, heterogeneous datasets, and to anticipate certain phenomena. They are also powerful tools for finding solutions to certain global problems that are as urgent as they are complex. They are being used more and more by government institutions and humanitarian and development organisations at […]

Progress in the semantic analysis of the voice of the customer
The automatic processing of natural language is an area of perennial research for Orange, which has been working on these topics for many years. Applying this work to Customer Relations has been gradually structured to bring industrialised solutions to fruition. These solutions chiefly enable us to leverage a rich and complex source of data: free-form […]

Algorithms in the shop window
Retailers have access to more and more data. In addition to traditional socio-demographic and transactional data, there is now also data from search engines, social networks, forums, and mobile apps collected with user consent. In keeping with the GDPR, artificial intelligence makes it possible to exploit, analyse, and combine these very large volumes of heterogeneous […]

Fake news: will advances in technology help us to distinguish between true and fake?
Social networks are fertile ground for spreading lies that are knowingly presented as legitimate information. Exposing them is often simple. Critical thinking, civic-mindedness, and media education can often suffice to foil misinformers’ strategies. However, doctored videos, called deep fakes, are in certain cases more and more difficult to identify as such. These composite videos create […]

Algorithm predicts congestion in mobile radio networks
Network supervision is advancing thanks to artificial intelligence. One Orange laboratory in Belfort has offered further proof of this by developing a predictive analysis solution that can prevent mobile network traffic overload. An algorithm can now detect imminent congestion 30 minutes before it occurs, with a success rate of over 80%. This predictive maintenance solution […]
