Until now, the only sequence data we've covered has been text data, such as the IMDB dataset and the Reuters dataset. But sequence data is found in many more problems than just language processing. In all the examples in this section, you'll play with a weather timeseries dataset recorded at the Weather Station at the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry in Jena, Germany. In this dataset, 14 different quantities (such air temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity, wind direction, and so on) were recorded every 10 minutes, over several years. The original data goes back to 2003, but this example is limited to data from 2009–2016.

Over the last 12 months, we've seen some incredibly stirring and thoughtful conversations from our members on LinkedIn about hot topics like the opioid crisis, immigration reform, the U.S. tax bill, healthcare coverage and harassment cases. These events sparked hundreds of thousands of insightful comments from professionals on LinkedIn around the world -- and will certainly have lasting consequences for years to come. Amazon has become a kind of corporate obsession in 2017. Companies big and small are watching the retailer: A review of last quarter's earnings calls shows that Amazon's name came up almost four times as often as President Trump's, and six times as often as wages. Amazon's moves this year proved that it's corporate tentacles are expanding, from purchasing Whole Foods to searching for its HQ2, a $5 billion project that promises to bring 50,000 high-paying jobs to the winning locale.

The first animals to be domesticated by humans were wolves, although the jury is still out on when exactly this occurred. Now a menagerie of animals is considered companion animals or pets, from the fuzzy chinchilla to the majestic horse. The original reasons for domestication were as varied as the species themselves: protection, hunting, travel and companionship. Today, pets are considered by their owners to be members of the family. They have their own toys, a special place on the sofa or even their own room. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Americans individually spent an average of $500 on their pets for a collective total of $66.75 billion, three times more than 20 years earlier.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is only beginning to penetrate the workplace, but it's causing leaders to thoroughly rethink how their businesses are run. More and more startups are using AI to increase efficiency and save time across their firms. Technology can provide virtual assistance, analyse unstructured data, and generate insights. People need days to accomplish what AI technology can do in just a few seconds. What company wouldn't want to focus their employees' efforts on more important, challenging and creative tasks – and reduce overheads?

Theresa May has defended the use of drone strikes against British citizens, saying the killing of Islamic State's Reyaad Khan in 2015 was "necessary and proportionate" and that she would authorise such strikes in the future. The prime minister said there had been no alternative to the killing of Khan in a precision airstrike in Syria because "a direct and imminent threat was identified by the intelligence agencies". There was "a clear legal basis for action in international law", she added. May was responding to the publication on Wednesday of a series of reports on counter-terrorism, cyber-security and other intelligence issues. The legality of drone strikes against a country's own citizens is controversial both in the UK and the US.

As the first fully digital bank in Spain, Openbank is leading the way in banking innovation. We interviewed Patricia Benito, Chief Digital and Business Officer at Openbank to find out more. To begin can you tell us a little about Openbank SA? Openbank is our digital native bank, our Fintech and the Santander Group digital bank. This gives us the best of two models: the dynamism of a startup and the solidity of a financial group of the size and trajectory of Santander. It is a bank that today has one of the most advanced technologies in the world in terms not only of functionality for our customers but also in the application of intelligent algorithms and use of the cloud.

Sony has announced that it is strengthening its video and audio technologies through artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics by fusing its core offerings with the latest in technology. Together with its partner companies and research institutes, Sony is combining the traditional techniques of Japan with new technologies. The Sony Innovation Fund, a corporate venture capital which facilitates collaboration with leading external researches and start-up companies around the world, is focusing on AI and robotics to support the growth of investee businesses. This has resulted in investment in over 10 firms from Japan, the United States, Europe, and elsewhere. Sony's investment in Cogitai, an American start-up that specialises in AI, has also resulted in the development of AI technologies that use deep reinforcement learning and prediction technology as the basis for the next generation of AI applications and products.

In another talk, Piotr Migdał gave us some tricks and tips about reproducibility and a number of best practices on team cooperation and model deployment. It's important to be aware that even a single untracked parameter tweak can lead to frustration and inefficiencies in the whole team. I can't resist to mention his good humor with the parallelism between Borja's Ecce Homo painting and model reproducibility issues.

Artificial intelligence, upskilling, and an older workforce are a few of the workplace trends we're likely to see in 2018. With unemployment at a 42-year low of 4.3pc, the jobs market remains competitive: the Office for National Statistics recently revealed that UK businesses are struggling to find workers as the pool of potential staff dries up. As a result, employers are having to evolve and develop new strategies to attract top talent. Set against this, the broader outlook is relatively uncertain, with sluggish wages, rising inflation and concerns about Britain leaving the EU dominating the debate. Soaring life expectancy is forcing many workers to delay their retirement and stay in employment longer.
