Council Post: Why AI And Checkout-Free Technology Will Grow In 2023
Many of the biggest technology headlines in 2022 were about artificial intelligence (AI). Commercial and enterprise applications of generative AI such as ChatGPT are already making a big splash in 2023, but what about the retail industry? Here, the impact of AI is likely to widen and deepen this year. AI in particular may have an outsized impact on physical stores. It can be easy to forget that, amidst all the talk about e-commerce, most people still do the vast majority of their shopping in bricks and mortar stores.
Detect signatures on documents or images using the signatures feature in Amazon Textract
Amazon Textract is a machine learning (ML) service that automatically extracts text, handwriting, and data from any document or image. AnalyzeDocument Signatures is a feature within Amazon Textract that offers the ability to automatically detect signatures on any document. This can reduce the need for human review, custom code, or ML experience. In this post, we discuss the benefits of the AnalyzeDocument Signatures feature and how the AnalyzeDocument Signatures API helps detect signatures in documents. We also walk through how to use the feature through the Amazon Textract console and provide code examples to use the API and process the response with the Amazon Textract response parser library.
Monitoring Lake Mead drought using the new Amazon SageMaker geospatial capabilities
Earth's changing climate poses an increased risk of drought due to global warming. Since 1880, the global temperature has increased 1.01 C. Since 1993, sea levels have risen 102.5 millimeters. Since 2002, the land ice sheets in Antarctica have been losing mass at a rate of 151.0 billion metric tons per year. In 2022, the Earth's atmosphere contains more than 400 parts per million of carbon dioxide, which is 50% more than it had in 1750. While these numbers might seem removed from our daily lives, the Earth has been warming at an unprecedented rate over the past 10,000 years [1].

How Artificial Intelligence Can Uncover Customer Needs in Real Time While They Shop in the Store
How do you know when a customer has experienced that magic moment of falling in love with a product at your store? This is a huge question for retailers of all types, ranging from high-consideration retailers such as fashion and luxury to chain stores selling detergent and soda pop. People exploring the aisles in a grocery store or browsing through blouses in a boutique clothing store give off clues about what they want long before they make a purchase. Perhaps they handle three different sizes of that blouse or examine price tags carefully for competing brands of soda pop. These clues are not always easy for store associates and salespeople to notice, especially in stores where employees are handling a variety of other jobs such as stocking shelves.

IKEA-Manual: Seeing Shape Assembly Step by Step
Wang, Ruocheng, Zhang, Yunzhi, Mao, Jiayuan, Zhang, Ran, Cheng, Chin-Yi, Wu, Jiajun
Human-designed visual manuals are crucial components in shape assembly activities. They provide step-by-step guidance on how we should move and connect different parts in a convenient and physically-realizable way. While there has been an ongoing effort in building agents that perform assembly tasks, the information in human-design manuals has been largely overlooked. We identify that this is due to 1) a lack of realistic 3D assembly objects that have paired manuals and 2) the difficulty of extracting structured information from purely image-based manuals. Motivated by this observation, we present IKEA-Manual, a dataset consisting of 102 IKEA objects paired with assembly manuals. We provide fine-grained annotations on the IKEA objects and assembly manuals, including decomposed assembly parts, assembly plans, manual segmentation, and 2D-3D correspondence between 3D parts and visual manuals. We illustrate the broad application of our dataset on four tasks related to shape assembly: assembly plan generation, part segmentation, pose estimation, and 3D part assembly.
AI love you! Moonpig enlists the help of ChatGPT to write personalised Valentine's Day cards
Not all of us are skilled in the language of love, and when it comes to Valentine's Day, there is all the more pressure to find the right words to express how we feel. Fear not, as artificial intelligence (AI) is here to turn your greetings card into a work of Shakespeare, or at least Enrique Iglesias. Moonpig has revealed it is looking into integrating ChatGPT - the AI chatbot taking the world by storm - into its online platform. This means that customers will be able to use the large language model to write a personalised message for inside their card. OpenAI says its ChatGPT model has been trained using a machine learning technique called Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF). This can simulate dialogue, answer follow-up questions, admit mistakes, challenge incorrect premises and reject inappropriate requests.
