Lionsgate's R-rated buddy romp "The Hitman's Bodyguard," as predicted, topped the domestic box office for the second weekend in a row as Hollywood's newest releases slumped into theaters, all three opening short of $6 million. Starring Samuel L. Jackson as an imprisoned assassin who needs the help of bodyguard Ryan Reynolds, "Hitman" (which cost $30 million to make) earned $10 million this week in the U.S. and Canada for a cumulative total of $39.6 million. The action comedy, which received mixed reviews -- earning a B rating on CinemaScore but a stale 39% "fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes -- made $21.6 million in its opening weekend and has dropped 53% since last week. Maintaining the No. 2 spot (despite a 53% drop since last weekend) was Warner Bros' horror prequel "Anabelle: Creation." The film brought in $7.6 million in its third week for a cumulative total of $77.9 million domestically.

The world is changing very rapidly with emerging technology almost every day. The future of mobile technology closely revolves around two words: "augmented reality" (AR). AR in simple terms means an advanced and unseen version of what we can see with our naked eyes. A regular sight when perceived through our smartphone infused with the AR technology will be enhanced through the use of computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics and GPS data. Layer allows users to view embedded digital content within a variety of sources, such as posters, magazine pages, advertisements and product QR codes.

Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:DIS) presented at a conference last month its newly developed artificial-intelligence (AI) technology for tracking the facial reactions of theatergoers as they watch a movie. The tech could help the entertainment giant make even better movies and could also have other applications across its empire. Disney tapped an NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) graphics processing unit (GPU) to play a starring role in the development of its new tech. Here's what you should know. Disney's new factorized variational autoencoders (FVAE) tech falls within the branch of AI called deep learning, which aims to mimic human thought processes. In deep learning, an artificial neural network is trained how to think or make inferences, and then it's deployed where it makes inferences from new data, which could be images, speech, and so on.

Steven Croft, the Lord Bishop of Oxford, who is a member of the House of Lords' Artificial Intelligence Committee, said jobs would be lost as more "mundane tasks" become automated. His comments come as experts have warned robots could take over from humans as developments in artificial intelligence threaten to become smarter than those who create it. Speaking on Sunday on BBC Radio 4, Dr Croft said issues needed to be tackled including our use of data. Asked where future pressure points could arise, he said: "The first one I would say is data and the issue of control of our data, which is really slightly out of control at the moment and the Government is proposing new legislation this year to catch up with the technology.

A trio of reissues, all 4K restorations, highlight the Labor Day weekend film offerings: Steven Spielberg's 1977 mashed-potato-stacking sci-fi classic "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," with Richard Dreyfuss; Merchant-Ivory's 1983 India-set drama "Heat and Dust," starring Julie Christie; and Jacques Becker's 1960 crime drama "Le Trou." Other limited releases include French domestic drama "After Love" and the Czech-Slovak drama "The Teacher." After Love A couple chooses to separate after 15 years of marriage, but the husband remains in the apartment with his wife and daughters due to tight finances, leading to rising tensions. California Typewriter Documentary on a Berkeley repair shop, it's challenge to remain open and some of the collectors and enthusiasts who share a passion for the aging machines. Close Encounters of the Third Kind Steven Spielberg's 1977 science fiction classic stars Richard Dreyfuss as a man on a mission after a brush with a UFO.

First it was Machine Learning, and now all of a sudden Deep Learning is taking all the thunder even from Machine Learning. So what's the difference, and why all of a sudden Deep Learning has become the most buzzing new Technology of our Era? Is Deep Learning a false idol being Ubiquitously worshiped or is it the panacea which is going to take us to our Utopia? These are two extreme positions & the reality usually lies somewhere in between. To delve deeply on this question, we need to first know what Machine Learning & Deep Learning are, & the difference between the two.

Deep convolutional networks have witnessed unprecedented success in various machine learning applications. Formal understanding on what makes these networks so successful is gradually unfolding, but for the most part there are still significant mysteries to unravel. The inductive bias, which reflects prior knowledge embedded in the network architecture, is one of them. In this work, we establish a fundamental connection between the fields of quantum physics and deep learning. We use this connection for asserting novel theoretical observations regarding the role that the number of channels in each layer of the convolutional network fulfills in the overall inductive bias.

Netflix darling Stranger Things returns for a second season this fall and the hype is already building. Vulture caught up with the Duffer brothers, the twins who created the nostalgic series that's equal parts horror and adventure. The duo chats seasons 2 and 3, including details of how they plan to end the show at the conclusion of the fourth season. It takes an elaborate setup to test autonomous vehicles. The Atlantic offers a unique look at both Waymo's virtual and physical testing grounds.
