ROUNDUP PRESENTED BY Veritone

Veritone’s newly unveiled Cognitive Media Platform (CMP) brings groundbreaking searchable access to the presidential debates – including fact checking tools and trend spotting – for a lightning-fast review of the past 36 years of presidential debate coverage, including those upcoming next week and next month. CMP’s first-of-its-kind technology applies artificial intelligence to provide real-time search engine capabilities across audio and video – keyword and even facial recognition search – to the last 3 decades of televised presidential debates. With the CMP, you can search transcripts and actual video for exact phrases, issues, candidates, and key moments from every presidential debate since 1980, not to mention the big debates just around the corner.

For a short time, Veritone is providing free access to their CMP technology for exclusive recipients.
