Apple introduced the 10th anniversary iPhone called iPhone X on Tuesday and put emphasis on the device's new features like the edge-to-edge OLED display and its facial recognition technology. However, some analysts are not really sold on the inclusion of these hardware features, thinking that they would soon be considered outdated. On Wednesday, Korean analysts expressed to South Korean media outlet The Investor their honest thoughts on the new iPhone X. It appears the analysts are not really pleased with what Apple has created because they pointed out how edge-to-edge OLED and facial recognition are already getting outdated. Apple's biggest rival, Samsung, has been using OLED screens for its smartphones for the past six years.

Over the last several years, a team of roboticists at the University of Tehran has been working on increasingly large and complex life-size humanoids. For their latest project, however, the Iranian researchers decided to build something smaller--and cuter. Surena Mini is a knee-high robot with a sleek 3D-printed body, articulated limbs, and a round head with two camera-eyes. "The main purpose of this robot is to provide researchers and students with a reliable robotic platform for educational and research applications," Aghil Yousefi-Koma, a professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Tehran, told IEEE Spectrum. He added that his group also has plans to offer the robot "for helping autistic and deaf children."

Amazon has a problem, and that problem is humans. Amazon needs humans, lots of them. But humans, as we all know, are the most unreasonable part of any business, constantly demanding things like lights and air. So Amazon has turned to robots (over 100,000 of them) for doing tasks like moving things around in a warehouse. But it's proving to be much more difficult to get the robots to do some other tasks.

Nintendo says the retro version of one of its iconic video game platforms is making a comeback in 2019. The 8-bit NES Classic went on sale last year selling 1.5 million units, but the Japanese gaming firm shocked fans by mysteriously pulling the plug on production in April. The company now says its NES Classic Edition will now return next summer due to popular demand. Nintendo says the retro version of one of its iconic video game platforms will return to stores next year. The Japanese announced in April that it had ended production of the nostalgic NES classic, re-released in November 2016 and selling around 1.5 million units The Nintendo Entertainment System, or NES, was an 8-bit home video game console initially released in Japan as the Family Computer, or Famicom, on July 15, 1983.

During the past several years, in my capacity as deputy director and then acting director of national intelligence, I have participated in National Security Council meetings about immediate challenges, from North Korea's aggressive missile and nuclear development programs to Russian military operations along its borders, and from ISIS threats to the homeland to Chinese activity in the South China Sea. Michael Dempsey is the national intelligence fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and the former acting director of national intelligence. The author is an employee of the US government on a sponsored fellowship, but all opinions are those of the author and do not reflect the official views of the US government. Even in instances in which the threat the US confronted was especially complex, there was at least a familiar policy playbook of options, as well as a shared understanding of how to approach these crises. However, in today's dynamic security landscape, it's fair to ask whether US policymakers might soon be forced to grapple with a new series of threats for which we have no common understanding or carefully considered counter-measures.

This post is an adaptation of a talk I recently gave for the Global AI Mind Web Series hosted and organized by Wetogether.co and GirlsinTech Taiwan. Whether you realize it or not, you are living in a world that has been dramatically altered due to artificial intelligence and automation. Advances in technology have been improving the efficiency of everyday processes and recreating our workforce in incremental ways. It's easy to adapt to these small changes as they are introduced, since they provide convenience and eliminate tedious tasks but as small changes add up they quickly create a new version of reality. When is the last time you had to filter spam from your email inbox?

I have a confession to make. I'm a privacy lawyer who researches the risks of face recognition technology – and I will be buying the new iPhone. Apple's next generation smartphone will unlock using face recognition, thanks to infrared and 3D sensors within its front-facing camera. Reports indicate that the face scan and unlock system will be almost instantaneous and require no buttons to be pressed, being always "on" and ready to read your face. Android users can expect similar face unlock features as well.

This involves automatic extraction of the business logic from a code base. One of the challenges is to understand the developper's intentions that led to a specific organization of this business logic. Using Posters to Recommend Anime and Mangas by Jill-Jênn Vie, (livestream from Japan) - English- The classic recommendation problem is the following: given a user and the items (mangas) that they like, how can we recommend new items (mangas) that they are also likely to enjoy? Typically this is done via collaborative filtering, i.e. people with similar taste also enjoy other mangas, so we recommend these to the original user. A very common problem occurs when you have a new or obscure manga, aka the cold-start problem. There are no reviews to use for this manga, so a cooler option is to build a system that actually understands the content it recommends. We propose extracting visual information from the posters of these little-known mangas, using a deep neural net called Illustration2Vec. The theory is that users that like mangas with "girl with sword" will also like other mangas that have "girl with sword" or perhaps "girl with bow" but probably not "multiple boys in a swimming pool".
