We are going to solve an overly simple, and unrealistic problem, which has the upside of making understanding the concepts of ML and TF easy. We want to predict a single scalar outcome, house price (in $) based on a single feature, house size (in square meters, sqm). This eradicates the need to handle multi-dimensional data, enabling us to focus solely on defining a model, implementing, and training it in TF. We start with a set of data points that we have collected (chart below), each representing the relationship between two values --an outcome (house price) and the influencing feature (house size). However, we cannot predict values for features that we don't have data points for (chart below) We can use ML to discover the relationship (the'best-fit prediction line' in the chart below), such that given a feature value that is not part of the data points, we can predict the outcome accurately (the intersection between the feature value and the prediction line.

Sony's attempt at introducing Virtual Reality to millions of homes has been quite impressive, the device having sold unexpectedly big numbers. However, console accessories often fail to continuously sell without a'killer app'. For instance, the Nintendo Switch's reasonably rubbish release line-up was improved phenomenally by Zelda: Breath of the Wind, the console selling by the millions as a result. So far, the best VR-only experiences have been Batman, Rigs, and REZ (Resident Evil VII was playable in VR but better played as a normal console game) but none have been'must-play' games. Packaged with the Aim controller, this first-person shooter has potential but bores relatively quickly.

IN JULY 2011 Sebastian Thrun, who among other things is a professor at Stanford, posted a short video on YouTube, announcing that he and a colleague, Peter Norvig, were making their "Introduction to Artificial Intelligence" course available free online. By the time the course began in October, 160,000 people in 190 countries had signed up for it. At the same time Andrew Ng, also a Stanford professor, made one of his courses, on machine learning, available free online, for which 100,000 people enrolled. Both courses ran for ten weeks. Such online courses, with short video lectures, discussion boards for students and systems to grade their coursework automatically, became known as Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs).

Google has launched a new feature that could make its search box even more popular than it already is. The company has added a new Personal tab to its search page, which is designed to make it easier for you to track down your own content. Personal is only available when you're logged in to your Google account, and results are taken from other Google services, like Gmail and Google Photos. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph. The giant human-like robot bears a striking resemblance to the military robots starring in the movie'Avatar' and is claimed as a world first by its creators from a South Korean robotic company Waseda University's saxophonist robot WAS-5, developed by professor Atsuo Takanishi and Kaptain Rock playing one string light saber guitar perform jam session A man looks at an exhibit entitled'Mimus' a giant industrial robot which has been reprogrammed to interact with humans during a photocall at the new Design Museum in South Kensington, London Electrification Guru Dr. Wolfgang Ziebart talks about the electric Jaguar I-PACE concept SUV before it was unveiled before the Los Angeles Auto Show in Los Angeles, California, U.S The Jaguar I-PACE Concept car is the start of a new era for Jaguar.

As the world evolves to a more digitised era, new and emerging innovations will disrupt the way different industries operate. In the field of marketing, we have witnessed the transformation of marketing strategies to meet evolving consumer expectations. Traditionally, consumers are pulled to a physical shopping space and today, it has transformed to one which is highly digitised where products are now pushed according to the data received and analyzed by various businesses online. With the Big Data Revolution, the processes involved in making sense of such data become even more complex. But the dawn of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning might assist in simplifying these processes.

However, most importantly, the restaurant owner has the most scope for extracting valuable snippets of insights from customer reviews with ratings between 3-4/5. I recently had a chance to deliver a talk in a conference titled'Understanding Consumers in the Digital World', held at IIM Lucknow, Noida Campus on 16-17th November 2015. The audience mainly comprised of marketers, market research professionals and academics whose work is primarily focused on obtaining deep insights by understanding the online consumers. My talk was titled'Decoding Ratings for superior service in restaurants – Using text to understand customers'. The focus was quite simple – convince and demonstrate how to read and understand customers from their reviews, not ratings. Our product, Lunchbox, a complete restaurant management solution was showcased as well.

Google has redesigned the Chrome app, and Android users can test its new layout now. The company has tweaked the browser's user interface, making its core features easier to access. The address bar has been moved from the top of the screen to the bottom, which is a sensible switch considering that's where your thumbs naturally rest when you hold a smartphone. With phone displays seemingly getting larger and larger by the year, making the top of the screen harder to reach, it's likely that the bottom of your phone will be home to the address bar for the considerable future. Google has also created the Chrome Home Expand Button, an arrow key you can tap for fast access to your favourite websites and news stories Google think you'll be interested in.

Ukrainian authorities earlier this month blocked access to Yandex as well as to several major Russian social media websites. President Petro Poroshenko said the move was made in response to Russia's annexation of the Crimean peninsula and continuing interference in eastern Ukraine.

BEIJING (Reuters) - A popular Chinese dating app for lesbians has been shut down, along with its website and main social media account, just as the gay community celebrates Taiwan's decision giving same-sex couples the right to marry, a first for Asia.

Consumers in Asia are more willing to spend time researching products to find the right brand that works for them, which paves the way for companies to build long-term relationships with their customers. The region, however, also is widely disparate with varying smartphone penetration rates. Given this, brands will need to depend on local skillsets to reach out to customers via different touchpoints, says Simon Tate, Salesforce.com's area vice president for commercial business. They also will need customer relationship management (CRM) tools that are highly automated and can capture real-time data signals to help them build a more complete profile of their customers, Tate notes in this Q&A with ExchangeWire. He adds that artificial intelligence can clock in and fill gaps in customer service, as well as help businesses anticipate opportunities and deliver proactive services.
