Power-and-blood fantasy saga "Game of Thrones" ruled the Emmy Award nominations Thursday with a leading 23 bids, including best drama, while a real-life epic of murder and celebrity, "The People v. O.J. Simpson," was close behind with 22 nods. "Game of Thrones" gets the chance to win its second top Emmy, while "Veep," last year's top comedy winner, also will get another shot at holding office and with 17 nominations was the comedy leader. Breakthrough nominations include a best comedy series nod for sophomore "black-ish," which brought the African-American family sitcom back to network TV, with bids as well for its stars, Anthony Anderson -- who announced the awards Thursday and read his own name with glee -- and his co-star Tracee Ellis Ross. They were among a number of black actors recognized by TV academy voters, who have started to keep pace with TV's growing diversity -- in sharp contrast to moviedom's Academy Awards, which were slammed as "Oscars So White" this year. Viola Davis, the "How to Get Away with Murder" star who last year became the first woman of color to win a best drama actress trophy, was nominated again.

As with the rest of the Zenmuse line, the camera's main functionality is integrated into the main DJI GO app, allowing you to swipe to to zoom in and out, for example. Previously, if you wanted to zoom in using a drone, you needed to fly it closer. And yes, it can still be used as a live video feed while you're flying. The Z3 uses the same camera sensor as in the Inspire 1 and Phantom 4, meaning it offers the same 12-megapixel still shots and Adobe DNG RAW support. Although it's not the primary purpose, the Zenmuse Z3 can be used for shooting video too -- 30fps at 4k resolution.

It's the drama that has people looking at USA through anti-blue-sky glasses -- and liking it. Robot" was part of the network's rebranding strategy away from programming with optimism and humor into edgy, dark terrain to rival shows on competing networks. And it seems to be working. The series, which stars Rami Malek as a young computer programmer who moonlights as a vigilante hacker, has been a breakout hit for the network, drumming up acclaim and awards chatter. And while Malek has received plenty of attention for his internal-monologue-heavy character, the real question is whether the series, which took home a Golden Globe earlier this year, can break through.

Early this year AI system AlphaGo cracked the ancient Chinese game Go, one of the most complex that ever existed. If there is one thing that fuels the speed of AI development, it's data. In 2011, Benjamin Grosser launched his Interactive Robotic Painting Machine, which paints abstract pictures with oil on canvas and responds to the sounds in its environment. That way Google's AI will be able to learn how creative people work, making itself more creative in the process.

Recently an AI-written novel made it past the first screening round of a Japanese national literary prize. True, the AI still had help from humans and no, it did not win the prize in the end. But what's groundbreaking here, is that AI is starting to display forms of creativity that have the potential to change the face of humankind. Many of us believe that creativity is one of the last beacons of humanity. It's what we believe distances us from animals and robots.

Bloomberg has become the latest news organization to place bets on automation as a measure to cover so-called "commodity news" and free up time for enterprise journalism. In a memo to Bloomberg's staff Wednesday, Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait announced that the data-driven news organization is creating a 10-person team to determine how automation can be used throughout the company's portfolio of editorial products. Bloomberg, which already uses automation for news alerts, customized news and trending stories, will use automation for "many of our new initiatives," Micklethwait said in the memo: In Daybreak, it will let customers tailor their morning news; our equity Movers project relies on computers to tell us when a share has jumped or sunk; Project Cyborg is helping our editors send headlines this earnings season on hundreds of U.S. companies; and computers are helping us instantly translate stories into other languages. But we have only scratched the surface. But where does that leave Bloomberg's extensive corps of journalists, which number more than 2,000 in over 150 bureaus worldwide? Without guidance from human journalists using strong news judgement, automation is only of limited use, Micklethwait said.

Conventional collaborative filtering techniques treat a top-n recommendations problem as a task of generating a list of the most relevant items. This formulation, however, disregards an opposite - avoiding recommendations with completely irrelevant items. Due to that bias, standard algorithms, as well as commonly used evaluation metrics, become insensitive to negative feedback. In order to resolve this problem we propose to treat user feedback as a categorical variable and model it with users and items in a ternary way. We employ a third-order tensor factorization technique and implement a higher order folding-in method to support online recommendations. The method is equally sensitive to entire spectrum of user ratings and is able to accurately predict relevant items even from a negative only feedback. Our method may partially eliminate the need for complicated rating elicitation process as it provides means for personalized recommendations from the very beginning of an interaction with a recommender system. We also propose a modification of standard metrics which helps to reveal unwanted biases and account for sensitivity to a negative feedback. Our model achieves state-of-the-art quality in standard recommendation tasks while significantly outperforming other methods in the cold-start "no-positive-feedback" scenarios.

Eye in the Sky Superbly acted, this nail-biter starring Helen Mirren, the late Alan Rickman and Aaron Paul is a fully involving war drama about the new rules of engagement. Hunt for the Wilderpeople This wonderful New Zealand film has a gently absurdist quality, a simultaneously sweet and subversive sensibility all its own, mixing warmth, adventure and comedy in ways that consistently surprise. The Innocents Anne Fontaine's post-World War II drama involving a Polish convent and a French female doctor proves yet again that though moral and spiritual questions may not sound spellbinding, they often provide the most absorbing movie experiences. The Jungle Book By turns sweetly amusing and scarily unnerving, crammed with story, song and computer-generated visual splendors, this revisiting of the old Rudyard Kipling tales aims to be a model of modern crowd-pleasing entertainment. Life, Animated A remarkable documentary about how Disney animated features changed the life of a young autistic boy in a deep and profound way.

The revolution is here--and it will be televised, Friend. Tonight, in fact, as the highly anticipated season 2 of Mr. Robot premieres. The unusual show struck a chord with audiences last summer and garnered immediate praise from critics and the public, even stealing a Golden Globe from Game of Thrones. Now, the program will have to sustain that interest as it continues the arresting story of Elliot Alderson, a mentally unstable hacker and member of the anarchic hacktivist group fsociety. An amalgam of Fight Club, V is for Vendetta and The Matrix, the show was initially conceived of as a feature film by creator Sam Esmail--but his big-canvas aspirations haven't been lost in the move to smaller screens.
