DAS 2018 | Keynote Presentation: Truth is a Lie

There is no single notion of truth, but rather a spectrum that has to account for context, opinions, perspectives and shades of grey. This is critical when we curate and describe online media collections, which will be consumed by a variety of people with different intentions in numerous contexts. We need to focus on solutions that collect, harness and represent this multitude of perspectives in the descriptions of online audio-visual collections. Ultimately, harnessing the full spectrum of truth also for better machine intelligence.
