Amazon's Echo Dot is on sale for only $20 for Prime Day

Engadget

While Prime Day deals have discounted most of Amazon's gadgets, one of the most affordable you can get is the Echo Dot. The company has knocked 60 percent off the small smart speaker, bringing it down to a new record low of $20. The Echo Dot with Clock is also cheaper than ever right now at only $33, while the full-sized Echo speaker has dropped to $60. We've recommended the Echo Dot in many gift guides because it combines Alexa chops with decent audio quality in an attractive, compact package. The fabric-covered orb is small enough to fit on a nightstand easily and we like that you can control it via Alexa commands or the few touch options on the device itself.

The Robots Are Coming For Your Closed Captions -- And That's No Baloney, Patsy

#artificialintelligence

During a recent episode of the January 6 Commission hearings -- this summer's most-talked-about new show -- comedy goddess Merrill Markoe took to Twitter to call attention to what she was seeing at the bottom of her screen: The Jan 6 hearings were once again amazing, stunning and magnificent. In a related story, because it is my responsibility and my job, I have recorded the valiant attempts made by the closed-captioning software to spell Pat Cippolone. "Patsy Baloney" was soon trending on Twitter, but that's not the really interesting part (though it was hilarious, which was Markoe's intent). For the first time I alone am responsible for change in the permanent political record. In the closed captioning for the Jan 6 hearings (where i got all the screen grabs above) mid-way in Patsy Baloney and many of her friends have been replaced w/correct spelling.



Transformer Compressed Sensing via Global Image Tokens

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Convolutional neural networks (CNN) have demonstrated outstanding Compressed Sensing (CS) performance compared to traditional, hand-crafted methods. However, they are broadly limited in terms of generalisability, inductive bias and difficulty to model long distance relationships. Transformer neural networks (TNN) overcome such issues by implementing an attention mechanism designed to capture dependencies between inputs. However, high-resolution tasks typically require vision Transformers (ViT) to decompose an image into patch-based tokens, limiting inputs to inherently local contexts. We propose a novel image decomposition that naturally embeds images into low-resolution inputs. These Kaleidoscope tokens (KD) provide a mechanism for global attention, at the same computational cost as a patch-based approach. To showcase this development, we replace CNN components in a well-known CS-MRI neural network with TNN blocks and demonstrate the improvements afforded by KD. We also propose an ensemble of image tokens, which enhance overall image quality and reduces model size. Supplementary material is available: https://github.com/uqmarlonbran/TCS.git
