In this session , you will have three different speakers presenting skills/tools that can be valuable in different aspects of your next investigation.
1) Learn how to create compelling before-and-after visualizations of satellite images using free tools. We'll walk through a basic workflow and share tips to quickly visualize change over time — no prior geospatial knowledge needed!
2) How to reveal metadata and other hidden information in PDF documents? We will walk our audience through the command line tool that can be used to explore PDFs in depth, and address issues that a journalist faces when they upload a PDF to an investigative tool like open source Aleph and discover that the OCR produced no text output.
3) How can journalists use AI to build a customized assistant that digs through a large number of documents? In this skillshare, you will get examples of a combination of skills and tools to screen, systematize, and analyse content in a cross-border investigation.
4) AI-powered search through audio - how do you find what you want without falling prey to hallucinations? Using the example audio transcription with Whisper, we showcase the issues of search through audio and how we've solved it in several recent use cases of ours.
