Your AI's Ethical Lapses Could Be Causing CX Disasters
Artificial intelligence is presented as the opposite of natural intelligence, which is demonstrated by animals. By that definition, AI would appear to be free from the social neuroses and discriminations that can plague humans. But machine learning originates from human makers, meaning those shortcomings can be passed along via algorithms and data input. AI is increasingly customer-facing: It includes asking Siri details about an upcoming trip or turning on Netflix and seeing recommendations based on viewing habits. AI touches numerous points along the customer journey, meaning its limitations can have organization-wide consequences.
Here's what we know about Google's mysterious search engine
President Trump thinks Google's search engine is "rigged." By featuring more mainstream news outlets and relatively fewer conservative sites in the results he sees, Trump tweeted Tuesday, Google is "suppressing" right-wing views on its platform. Trump escalated his attacks Tuesday afternoon in remarks from the Oval Office, warning that "Google and Twitter and Facebook, they are treading on very, very troubled territory and they have to be careful." It's easy to see how Trump arrived at this conclusion, because in many ways his experience mirrors that of millions of Americans who've awoken to the dominance of Google -- and Facebook, and Twitter -- in their everyday lives without being quite certain how it wound up there. We rely constantly on Google to find out what to buy, which restaurants to eat at and how to get from one place to another.
Analyze Unstructured Data Patterns for Conceptual Representation

Online news media provides aggregated news and stories from different sources all over the world and up-to-date news coverage. The main goal of this study is to have a solution that considered as a homogeneous source for the news and to represent the news in a new conceptual framework. Furthermore, the user can easily find different updated news in a fast way through the designed interface. The Mobile App implementation is based on modeling the multi-level conceptual analysis discipline. Discovering main concepts of any domain is captured from the hidden unstructured data that are analyzed by the proposed solution. Concepts are discovered through analyzing data patterns to be structured into a tree-based interface for easy navigation for the end user, through the discovered news concepts. Our final experiment results showing that analyzing the news before displaying to the end-user and restructuring the final output in a conceptual multilevel structure, that producing new display frame for the end user to find the related information to his interest.
Why Google Is a Perfect Target for Trump
A full hour before the sun rose in Washington, DC, Tuesday, President Donald Trump fired off a pair of tweets claiming that Google had "rigged" search results against conservatives. Like so many Trump grievances, the argument seems steeped less in fact than a roiling stew of personal animus. But in Google News, the latest subject of his ire, Trump may have found the perfect target. In Trump's tweets--which he later deleted, then tweeted again, with no substantive changes--you can see the outlines of an attack that can't be easily fact-checked or dismissed. Charges of bias against Google will stick, because no algorithm is truly neutral.
Trump news: President claims Google is rigging search results to make him look bad
Donald Trump has accused Google of rigging its search results to make him look bad. People who search for the latest news about the president are in fact being shown intentionally damaging stories, he claimed. Mr Trump even suggested that the results could be getting illegally manipulated from inside the search giant. 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.

There Is a Remake of the Shadow of the Tomb Raider Trailer Starring Cats and Dogs and Here It Is
Shot-for-shot remakes are a dangerous proposition for any filmmaker. The potential downsides are huge--see, e.g., Gus Van Sant's Psycho or John Legend and Stevie Wonder's "Hey Ya!"--and the upside is tiny. Even excellent remakes, like Jimmy Fallon's meticulous recreation of the music video for Styx's "Too Much Time on My Hands," can only hope to be praised for their attention to detail, not their artistic vision. There is one exception, however: remakes that replace the film's original humans with live-action house pets behaving like humans. These are uniformly masterpieces, each and every time, and it is incumbent upon critics to bring them to the attention of as large an audience as possible as quickly as possible.
Microsoft shines a 'spotlight' on Bing news searches to add more context
One of the complaints I recently had with Bing's ability to search news involved its seeming inability to generate search results with sufficient information density. On Monday, Bing coincidentally released a new "spotlight" feature that promises to help. The Bing spotlight feature consists of three different areas: a timeline that tracks major evolutions in the story or topic, and various news perspectives, as well as the large "hero" image that features breaking news. Both perspectives and stories are compiled using a combination of both AI and experienced human editors, according to Bing. According to Bing, the site tracks "queries and browser logs, and document signals from publishers such as how many publishers cover a story, their angles, and how prominently they feature the story on their site."
Superhighway: Bypass Data Sparsity in Cross-Domain CF

Cross-domain collaborative filtering (CF) aims to alleviate data sparsity in single-domain CF by leveraging knowledge transferred from related domains. Many traditional methods focus on enriching compared neighborhood relations in CF directly to address the sparsity problem. In this paper, we propose superhighway construction, an alternative explicit relation-enrichment procedure, to improve recommendations by enhancing cross-domain connectivity. Specifically, assuming partially overlapped items (users), superhighway bypasses multi-hop inter-domain paths between cross-domain users (items, respectively) with direct paths to enrich the cross-domain connectivity. The experiments conducted on a real-world cross-region music dataset and a cross-platform movie dataset show that the proposed superhighway construction significantly improves recommendation performance in both target and source domains.
