Appier's AI solution empowers Nexon, yielding remarkable results in attracting valuable game users

Appier

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA - Media OutReach - 1 December 2023 - Appier, a software-as-a-service (SaaS) company that uses artificial intelligence (AI), has announced significant results from its partnership with Nexon, the leading South Korean gaming company, to help the brand acquire high-value game users. KartRider Rush+ Marking a solid six-year partnership between Appier and Nexon, Appier's AI solution, AIBID, has played a pivotal role in achieving this milestone. AIBID, a proprietary AI audience model, meticulously identifies and targets high-value users, tailoring the approach to suit each unique game. Leveraging intricate analysis of user interactions within gaming applications, contextual data, and marketing graphics, AIBID excels not only in driving game installations but also in delivering an exceptional return on ad spend (ROAS), all while maintaining an outstanding user retention record. Dungeon & Fighter Mobile Nexon has adopted AIBID for the successful launches and high retention rates of its flagship titles, including Dungeon & Fighter Mobile and KartRider Rush+. "Witnessing AIBID's impact on our ROAS targets was truly exceptional. It's no wonder AIBID has seamlessly integrated into our user acquisition strategy, propelling our success to new heights," exclaimed WooChang Lee, Deputy Department Manager of Nexon. "Since adopting Appier's AIBID solution, our app's growth skyrocketed, generating impressive installs from day one. Notably, it consistently drew in high-quality users with remarkable retention rates. Appier's AI expertise is more than a solution; it's a catalyst for unparalleled growth and sustained excellence." In a standout campaign for Dungeon & Fighter Mobile last year, Nexon masterfully employed AIBID, securing high-value users from the very inception of the game's release. This strategic move led to an impressive 6.9% increase in level completion rates and a 1.4x surge in in-app purchases, witnessed from the first week to the fourth week. AIBID's re-engagement facet has proven equally impressive. Following a dip in installations for Nexon's popular game, KartRider Rush+, after 45 days post-launch, Nexon integrated AIBID's re-engagement tool, undertaking a strategic user retargeting effort. The outcome was nothing short of remarkable, with a striking 55% increase in user conversion rates (CVR) and a notable 16% upswing in in-app purchases. The re-engagement feature of AIBID effectively identifies users worth retargeting by analyzing recent user behavior patterns, including but not limited to in-app purchases within the last three days, reaching level 25 within five days, or logging into the game five or more times a day. The collaboration between Nexon and Appier shows no signs of waning, as Nexon unveils plans to introduce new features, including Appier's captivating 3D banners and in-banner videos. These innovative creative assets have not only garnered heightened user attention but have been successfully implemented in Nexon's new and time-honored games, such as KartRider: Drift and MapleStory M, resulting in a substantial increase in click-through rates (CTR). https://www.appier.com/en/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/appier/ About Appier Appier (TSE: 4180) is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) company that uses artificial intelligence to power business decision-making.

HTX

December 1, 2023 - The founder of TRON and a member of HTX's Global Advisory Board, Justin Sun, received an invitation to attend NFT Taipei 2023, a prominent NFT event in Asia. Taking the virtual stage, he delivered a captivating speech titled "The Intersection of Digital, Humanity, and Art," sharing unique insights into the NFT market. Sun, a cryptocurrency mogul, emphasized that HTX, as one of the leading global cryptocurrency exchanges, is actively monitoring the NFT market’s evolution. The exchange aims to foster innovative growth in the digital economy and provide users with a diverse digital asset trading experience. During his speech, Sun introduced his own NFT avatars, such as Tpunk#3442 and BAYC Tron NFT. He expressed the view that the digital era, comparable to the settlement of Mars, signifies a trend that the crypto world can spearhead. NFT avatars represent a novel form of digital art, showcasing a more universal punk style that embodies a fusion of individual talent and artistic inspiration from traditional art. This, coupled with widespread recognition and appreciation, symbolizes a new era in the digital art landscape. According to Sun, each generation defines its era through unique artistic forms and expressions. To us, NFTs and unique on-chain digital art represent the creativity and vision of our generation in today's era driven by blockchain and artificial intelligence. They not only serve as mediums for our exploration and self-expression but also act as our virtual galleries. NFTs enable us to both create art and achieve decentralized and global interaction within the art world. This interaction transcends physical boundaries, providing a real-time space for global creators to create and participate. Regarding the integration of traditional art and NFTs, Sun emphasized that NFTs in the digital age demonstrate profound human interest and imbue digital art with genuine value and identity, ensuring that creators receive the deserved respect and rewards for their intellectual labor. Through NFTs, artists can directly communicate with their audience, eliminating the need for intermediaries, and explore more possibilities for creation and interaction. Furthermore, Sun mentioned that the APENFT Foundation was established in 2021 to promote the integration of the metaverse, finance, and art. It houses collections with a total value exceeding 1 billion RMB, including Picasso's "Femme nue couchée avec collier," Andy Warhol's "Three Self-Portraits," Chinese artist Zeng Fanzhi's "Portrait" for Justin Sun, Beeple's "Ocean's Front" and "ABUNBANCE," as well as the "Cube" NFT collection by the digital artist Pak and "Digital Zones" by Mitchel Chen. Sun expressed his pride in embracing new opportunities brought by digital art, as a member of HTX's Global Advisory Board and the founder of TRON. He also mentioned that HTX and TRON are dedicated to building a secure and reliable platform that allows more people to access NFTs and understand their value. He believes that NFTs will play a crucial role in connecting the digital world with the real world and exploring something more in human art and culture. NFT Taipei, known as the largest NFT art and blockchain forum in Asia, took place from November 30 to December 3 this year at the Songshan Cultural & Creative Park in Taipei. It brought together dozens of top leaders in the Web3 space to decode how to create new opportunities in blockchain and NFTs in the next bull run and discuss diverse topics such as AAA game firms engaging in blockchain games and DeFi's ability to meet market demands. Additionally, the OneOffs Fair during the NFT Taipei 2023 attracted hundreds of artists and over 100,000 participants around the world, featuring famous NFT projects including BAYC, the largest blue chip NFT community. As a steadfast advocate for the digital economy, HTX looks forward to leveraging the NFT Taipei event to establish closer connections with digital asset practitioners worldwide, jointly driving NFTs growth, exploring new trends and opportunities in the digital age, and creating new peaks in the digital economy. About HTX Founded in 2013, HTX has evolved from a crypto exchange into a comprehensive ecosystem of blockchain businesses that span digital asset trading, financial derivatives, wallets, research, investment, incubation and other areas.

American Translators Association

A free virtual event held during Universal Human Rights Month will address the challenges depicted in the film Translators and provide insights into the repercussions of asking children to work as interpreters for people with limited English proficiency (LEP) and the trauma it can cause. The American Translators Association (ATA), the premier association of translators, interpreters, and language professionals in the world, will hold a free online roundtable to discuss concerns over the depiction of children as interpreters in the film Translators, directed by Rudy Valdez and presented by U.S. Bank.

The free virtual event will be held on Thursday, December 14, 2023, at 12:00 p.m. EST in English, with Spanish and ASL (American Sign Language) interpreting and live professional captioning. Register here to receive a Zoom link to attend. A recording of the event will be made available afterwards on ATA’s website.

PathAI Launches ArtifactDetect Model on AISight, Pioneering Automated Slide Quality Analysis in Pathology Labs

PathAI

PathAI, a leading digital and computational pathology company which provides precision pathology solutions has announced the availability of ArtifactDetect 1 on AISight ™ 2, PathAI’s digital pathology image management system. This product automates the detection of artifacts on digital pathology whole slide images and quantifies the extent of artifact on any WSI. Artifacts are unintentional morphological features that do not have any histopathological relevance. Artifacts can limit the utility of these images for review by pathologists and require replacement of the image, which can create delays in slide review and case turnaround time. The addition of ArtifactDetect to the menu of algorithms available through AISight broadens the set of efficiencies that are enabled through computational pathology and improved laboratory operations with a digital workflow. This technology automatically identifies poor-quality samples, allowing for timely interventions such as re-staining or re-scanning, thereby saving valuable resources on scanning tech, histotechnology, and pathologist time. This announcement addresses a crucial gap in pathology labs — the lack of a standardized slide quality control system. Pathologists often spend significant time reviewing non-evaluable slides due to the absence of established quality standards. With ArtifactDetect, PathAI aims to provide quality control and workflow optimization features, empowering pathology labs worldwide. “We are very excited to partner with PathAI to enhance automation and accuracy in our laboratories, benefiting both our operations and the value we bring to our beneficiaries,” remarked Dr. Fernando Soares, Full Professor at the University of Sao Paolo and Head of the Department of Anatomic Pathology at Rede D’Or. Rede D’Or is the largest integrated health network in Brazil with more than 70 hospitals and 55 oncology clinics in operation across more than ten states. “We have been testing the AIM-HER2 Breast Algorithm on our diverse cohorts to much success and are excited to expand our collaboration with PathAI to include algorithms that can drive workflow efficiencies and help us better track the quality of our whole slide images.” "The absence of a consistent slide quality standard leads to inefficiencies and challenges in pathology labs," says Dr. Eric Walk, Chief Medical Officer at PathAI. "Our goal is to distribute our advanced algorithms to foster a standardized approach, significantly reducing the time spent on non-evaluable slides." To learn more about AISight, PathAI’s Image Management System, ArtifactDetect or any of PathAI’s other algorithm product solutions, please visit https://www.pathai.com/ap-lab-solutions/ or request a meeting by contacting digitaldx@pathai.com. 1,2 ArtifactDetect and AISight are For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures. About PathAI PathAI is the only AI-focused technology company to provide comprehensive precision pathology solutions for clinical trials and laboratory use. Rigorously trained and validated with data from more than 15 million annotations, its AI-powered models can be leveraged to optimize the analysis of pathology samples to improve efficiency and accuracy of pathology interpretation, as well as to better gauge therapeutic efficacy and accelerate drug development for complex diseases. About AISight AISight, introduced earlier this year by PathAI, is a comprehensive digital pathology image management system, currently offered for Research Use Only. AISight provides best-in-class image and case management, ingestion, and viewing while seamlessly enabling access and deployment of AI applications. AISight can also be integrated bidirectionally with laboratory information systems for streamlined workflow adoption. Anatomic pathology laboratories of all sizes and specialties – including health systems, reference laboratories, independent pathology labs, and academic medical centers – may utilize AISight.
