The feature, rolled out in partnership with AI music startup Mubert, will generate an instrumental track in any of more than two dozen musical styles designed to match the mood of a given clip. Trained on a library of over 1 million beats, samples and patterns, the system also has the benefit of being completely royalty-free, since each snippet it generates is a wholly original composition. "AI, of course, cannot replace human imagination, but it will become the new virtual creative assistant that will expand and fine-tune one's overall skills," PicsArt CEO Hovhannes Avoyan said. "In time, we'll begin to see more novice users being able to produce vastly superior content than they ever thought possible because of AI." Among the genres of music offered by the feature are "techno," "lofi" and "dub" as well as mood-based styles including"happy" or "romantic" and activity-based ones such as "study" or "yoga."

Recommendation is a prevalent application of machine learning that affects many users; therefore, it is important for recommender models to be accurate and interpretable. In this work, we propose a method to both interpret and augment the predictions of black-box recommender systems. In particular, we propose to interpret feature interactions from a source recommender model and explicitly encode these interactions in a target recommender model, where both source and target models are black-boxes. By not assuming the structure of the recommender system, our approach can be used in general settings. In our experiments, we focus on a prominent use of machine learning recommendation: ad-click prediction. We found that our interaction interpretations are both informative and predictive, e.g., significantly outperforming existing recommender models. What's more, the same approach to interpret interactions can provide new insights into domains even beyond recommendation, such as text and image classification.

The upcoming iOS 14 software release will include some notable changes to the Apple's Podcasts app, such as a feature that suggests podcasts you may like based on what you currently listen to, according to 9to5Mac. The leak comes ahead of the virtual WWDC next Monday, where Apple is expected to reveal more about iOS 14. The new podcast feature will reportedly work similar to Apple Music's "For You" feature, which uses an algorithm to suggest new songs, albums and artists, a source told 9to5Mac. Apple Podcasts will learn from your listening preferences and suggest new podcasts. Another reported update to Apple Podcasts is the option for podcast creators to offer bonus content -- similar to what is currently offered when you buy a movie Apple TV.

In this session, we will be going through some of the fundamental methods that are used to tackle Natural Language Processing (NLP) problems. We will first be going through some NLP theory and then will walk through some code showing how a sentiment analysis model can be trained from scratch on a real-world IMDB movie review dataset.

A new Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm, developed by scientists at the University of Hong Kong, can only create enormously realistic photos from sketch drawings. Researchers say the new algorithm can be used to identify suspects in police investigations. Despite the concerns of names like Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies continue to penetrate every aspect of our lives. AI, which has a place in many sectors including security, health, military, automotive and transportation, is becoming more and more powerful. According to the information reported by the website of New Scientist, Hongbo Fu and colleagues from the University of Hong Kong developed an algorithm that can instantly convert a very simple sketch drawing representing the face of a person into portrait photography.

Waymo has gradually expanded its service around Phoenix and now can run autonomously in an area about the size of San Francisco, Cadariu said. The company said that before the pandemic, it was running 1,000 to 2,000 rides per week. Between 5% and 10% were fully autonomous without human safety drivers, Waymo said.

The first Amazon Echo device designed for use in a car has finally been launched in the UK and Ireland, after being first revealed by the tech giant back in 2018. Amazon Echo Auto allows drivers to play music, check the news, make calls and check their schedule without taking hands off the wheel or eyes off the road. The £49.99 device, which clips to car air vent mounts, is powered by Alexa, the company's digital assistant, just like the rest of the Echo smart speaker range. Drivers can use Alexa voice commands such as'Alexa, start my road trip playlist' to enjoy their journey safely without being distracted by their phone. The three-inch-long black box gets internet connectivity by connecting to a user's smartphone and the Alexa app, and using its existing data plan.

Another machine learning approach is reinforcement learning.
