Shopping for guys can be tricky business. Though "traditional" men's gifts--think neckties and whiskey stones--seem like safe bets, in truth, men have a wide variety of tastes and those "safe" gifts rarely get real use. This year, we've got you covered with the best gift ideas for all the men in your life: the home chef, the student, the traveler, the gamer, the outdoorsy athlete, and plenty more.

Roku's streaming boxes, streaming sticks, and smart TVs have a reputation for being easy to use, but that doesn't mean every useful feature is obvious from the start. Dig a little deeper, and you'll find plenty of tricks and hidden features that make the experience even better. Installing all your favorite music and video apps can be a pain when you're setting up a Roku for the first time. Instead of thumbing around with the remote, use the Roku Channel Store website to install lots of apps quickly. Just log into your account, search for the apps you want, then choose "Add channel."

The rapper 2 Milly filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the makers of Fortnite, saying they were illegally using a dance he created in their wildly popular video game. The Brooklyn-based rapper, whose real name is Terrence Ferguson, alleges that the North Carolina-based Epic Games misappropriated his moves without compensation or credit in the lawsuit, filed in federal court in Los Angeles. The lawsuit states that the dance known on Fortnite as "Swipe It", one of many that players can buy for their characters, is taken from the "Milly Rock", a dance he came up with in 2011 that caught on as a craze in the summer of 2015 after the release of a song and video of the same name. Ferguson says that the game both steals his creation and as a result appropriates his likeness. He's asking for a judge's order that the game stop using the dance, and for damages to be determined later.

This IDC Market Perspective introduces the market for artificial intelligence and cognitive systems in the Nordics.

This is an Inside Science story. When a song plays on the radio, there are invisible forces at work that go beyond the creative scope of the writing, performing and producing of the song. One of those ineffable qualities is audio mastering, a process that smooths out the song and optimizes the listening experience on any device. Now, artificial intelligence algorithms are starting to work their way into this undertaking. "Mastering is a bit of a black art," explained Thomas Birtchnell, a researcher at the University of Wollongong in Australia.

The latest adaptation of Nightflyers, a novella and short story collection written by George R. R. Martin in the 1980s, premiered on Syfy last weekend. If you're following the nightly episodes, you'll know how integral the titular spaceship, with its gloomy corridors and breathtaking habitat domes, is to the plot and mood of the show. Syfy and Universal Cable Productions paid Territory Studio, a specialist in on-set motion graphics, to shape the vessel's visual language. The team produced over 1,200 'screens' -- fictional interfaces that actors could see while performing -- across a broad range of sets, including medical labs, cabins and cargo bays. If you love science fiction, there's a good chance you've seen Territory's work before. The company, based in London, New York and San Francisco, has contributed to a number of blockbuster movies including Blade Runner 2049, Avengers: Infinity War, Ex Machina and Ghost in the Shell.

Multi-layer optical film has been found to afford important applications in optical communication, optical absorbers, optical filters, etc. Different algorithms of multi-layer optical film design has been developed, as simplex method, colony algorithm, genetic algorithm. These algorithms rapidly promote the design and manufacture of multi-layer films. However, traditional numerical algorithms of converge to local optimum. This means that the algorithms can not give a global optimal solution to the material researchers. In recent years, due to the rapid development to far artificial intelligence, to optimize optical film structure using AI algorithm has become possible. In this paper, we will introduce a new optical film design algorithm based on the deep Q learning. This model can converge the global optimum of the optical thin film structure, this will greatly improve the design efficiency of multi-layer films.

In the past few years, neural abstractive text summarization with sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) models have gained a lot of popularity. Many interesting techniques have been proposed to improve the seq2seq models, making them capable of handling different challenges, such as saliency, fluency and human readability, and generate high-quality summaries. Generally speaking, most of these techniques differ in one of these three categories: network structure, parameter inference, and decoding/generation. There are also other concerns, such as efficiency and parallelism for training a model. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive literature and technical survey on different seq2seq models for abstractive text summarization from viewpoint of network structures, training strategies, and summary generation algorithms. Many models were first proposed for language modeling and generation tasks, such as machine translation, and later applied to abstractive text summarization. Therefore, we also provide a brief review of these models. As part of this survey, we also develop an open source library, namely Neural Abstractive Text Summarizer (NATS) toolkit, for the abstractive text summarization. An extensive set of experiments have been conducted on the widely used CNN/Daily Mail dataset to examine the effectiveness of several different neural network components. Finally, we benchmark two models implemented in NATS on two recently released datasets, i.e., Newsroom and Bytecup.

By 2050, 68 percent of the total global population will live in cities, according to the United Nations. By then, the world population will be 9.7 billion and 11.2 billion by 2100. The updated report from the United Nations states that currently, 55 percent of the world's population lives in urban areas. That means around 2.5 billion more people will be living in cities by 2050. India, China, and Nigeria combined will represent 35 percent of the projected urban population growth between 2018 and 2050.

This morning, we have a very important message for you from Tom Cruise and news about the hardware that will be inside many of 2019's most popular phones. It's not a 5G world yet, but we're getting ready, and that might mean adjusting to some very strange notch placements. And a new fingerprint sensor that works from within the display.Qualcomm's Snapdragon 855 chipset will power your next flagship phone It's been clear for a while now that 2019 will be the year of 5G, and it's little surprise that the Snapdragon 855 will support "multi-gigabit" data speeds on 5G networks as they light up around the country. SVP Alex Katouzian also pointed out that the 855 was designed to trounce last-generation chipsets when it comes to AI performance -- we can expect up to three-fold performance gains when it comes to these complex computations. He even detailed a new way to sense fingerprints from inside an all-screen phone: with Qualcomm's new ultrasonic sensor.
