I am working on a problem and think that a sequence to sequence LSTM model would be a good approach. However, I am dealing with a multivariate input sequence. Every seq2seq example I have found is for machine translation and uses a one dimensional input sequence. Any examples or ideas on how to implement would be greatly appreciated.

Many retailers like Macy's, Tommy Hilfiger and Home Depot have evidently proven that Artificial Intelligence can be used for Visual recognition as it provides them with visual product searches.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is making significant waves across the globe, with experts predicting that it will increasingly change and reshape the way people live their daily lives. AI is also likely to shake up the legal industry; triggering a profound shift in the delivery of legal services. However, with such potential and power to drive seismic change to ordinary life and professional services, it has led to some debate over whether AI should be regulated. Professor Sylvie Delacroix, of the University of Birmingham, spoke to Thomson Reuters' Legal Solutions UK & Ireland Blog about her views on AI and the call for regulation. How significant is artificial intelligence and its role within society? The most significant development today is the extent to which we are capable of gathering and exploiting data to develop new kinds of knowledge which radically transform the way we live, for better or for worse.

You've probably heard that automation is becoming commonplace in more fields of human endeavor. Or, in headline-speak: "Are Robots Coming for Your Job?" You may also have heard that the last bastions of human exclusivity will probably be creativity and artistic judgment. Robots will be washing our windows long before they start creating masterpieces. In reporting a story for CBS Sunday Morning, for example, I recently visited Rutgers University's Art and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, where Ahmed Elgammal's team has created artificial-intelligence software that generates beautiful, original paintings.

Algorithms are everywhere in our world, and so is bias. From social media news feeds to streaming service recommendations to online shopping, computer algorithms--specifically, machine learning algorithms--have permeated our day-to-day world. As for bias, we need only examine the 2016 American election to understand how deeply--both implicitly and explicitly--it permeates our society as well. What's often overlooked, however, is the intersection between these two: bias in computer algorithms themselves. Contrary to what many of us might think, technology is not objective. AI algorithms and their decision-making processes are directly shaped by those who build them--what code they write, what data they use to "train" the machine learning models, and how they stress-test the models after they're finished.

I was thinking recently that neural networks with residual connections appear to be doing a sort of approximate iterative inference of features (more details in the long post). Highway and residual networks learn unrolled iterative estimation. Residual Connections Encourage Iterative Inference. Have you guys know some other paper that I may be missing in the area? Specially ones that try to isolate the effect of adding residual connections?

David Hanson envisions a future in which AI-powered robots evolve to become "super-intelligent genius machines" that might help solve some of mankind's most challenging problems. If only it were as simple as that. The Texas-born former sculptor at Walt Disney Imagineering and his Hong Kong-based startup Hanson Robotics are combining artificial intelligence with southern China's expertise in toy design, electronics and manufacturing to craft humanoid "social robots" with faces designed to be lifelike and appealing enough to win trust from humans who interact with them. Hanson, 49, is perhaps best known as the creator of Sophia, a talk show-going robot partly modeled on Audrey Hepburn that he calls his "masterpiece." Akin to an animated mannequin, she seems as much a product of his background in theatrics as an example of advanced technology.

Amazon today announced the UK release of its latest smart speaker, the Echo Spot. It's a small speaker with the same voice-controlled virtual assistant, Alexa, found in other Echo products and beyond. This is a smaller gadget – just as the Echo has a smaller sibling called the Echo Dot, this is the littler version of the Echo Show and, like the Show, it has a video screen. The Echo Spot is spherical, save for a flat screen and a flat base to stand on. It has a 2.5in circular display and is about the size of a baseball.
