As the weather gets warmer and spring approaches, many of us will be spending more time outside. If you're looking for a new gadget that you can bring with you on family outings, DJI's Mavic Air 2 could be a good option -- especially now that it's on sale at Amazon. The online retailer has knocked 20 percent off the Fly More combo pack, which includes a bunch of extra things in addition to the drone, bringing the whole thing down to $789. The discount is only good for today, but it allows you to get a plethora of handy accessories essentially for free, since the drone on its own costs $799. Ultimately, you're getting everything you'd need to take the drone with you on your next trip and, if you plan correctly, enough battery power to keep it in the sky for a long time. DJI came out with the Mavic Air 2 in 2020 as a follow-up to the original Mavic Air of 2018.

Amazon SageMaker Autopilot automatically builds, trains, and tunes the best machine learning (ML) models based on your data, while allowing you to maintain full control and visibility. We have recently announced support for time series data in Autopilot. You can use Autopilot to tackle regression and classification tasks on time series data, or sequence data in general. Time series data is a special type of sequence data where data points are collected at even time intervals. Manually preparing the data, selecting the right ML model, and optimizing its parameters is a complex task, even for an expert practitioner.

The average person sees up to 10,000 ads every day. No wonder people just throw money at whatever -- they'll buy something they don't need, something that doesn't fit them or won't help them. It can be a perpetual need to spend. Then the guilt hits, and more than half of all Americans say that they regret spending on things they didn't need or can't use. A single Black Friday sale generates $74 billion worth of regretted spending in the U.S. alone.

While these companies take different tacks, both have the potential to catalyze tomorrow's advances in drug discovery, new materials, remedies to climate change, closer analysis of military-drone footage and more. And they are hardly the only ones: Microsoft Corp., Amazon.com Inc., Oracle Corp., International Business Machines Corp. and others are also in the AI marathon. The Morning Download delivers daily insights and news on business technology from the CIO Journal team. Consumers and investors, more focused on spasms in the stock market, may not be paying attention to projects not directly connected to lines of business or quarterly results. But research and development often hatch products that vault beyond a lab's original aims.

Last May, Walmart announced its acquisition of the virtual clothing try-on startup Zeekit, which leveraged a combination of real-time image processing, computer vision, deep learning and other AI technologies to show shoppers how they would look in an item by way of a simulation that takes into account body dimensions, fit, size and even the fabric of the garment itself. Today, Walmart says it's bringing that technology to Walmart.com and its Walmart mobile app. The retailer is introducing the computer vision neural network-powered "Choose My Model" try-on feature, now in beta, which will now allow Walmart customers to select a model that better matches their own appearance and body type. At launch, online shoppers will be able to choose from among 50 different models to find one who best reflects their own skin tone, height and body shape so they can get a better idea of how clothing would look on them. Walmart notes it will continue to expand its model selection over time, with plans to launch nearly 70 additional models in the weeks ahead to offer more variety in terms of size, skin tone and even hair color.

After more than 20 years in the retail business, Switzerland-based online marketplace Ricardo wanted to fix some of the problems its users had buying and selling items. Ultimately, Ricardo settled on a system based on the Ray open source Python framework developed by AI vendor Anyscale. Like most such marketplaces, Ricardo previously used a category business model in which the items sellers listed for sale were placed under different categories. However, sometimes end users clicked on the wrong categories and were unable to find the items they wanted. Also, since Switzerland has four official languages, sometimes customers were describing the product they wanted in a language that was different from what the website was picking up.

The primary goal of this course is to provide you a comprehensive learning framework to use Python for data science. Data Science with Python involves not only using Python language to clean, analyze and visualize data, but also applying Python programming skills to predict and identify trends useful for decision-making. Since data revolution has made data as the new oil for organizations, today's decisions are driven by multidisciplinary approach of using data, mathematical models, statistics, graphs, databases for various business needs such as forecasting weather, customer segmentation, studying protein structures in biology, designing a marketing campaign, opening a new store, and the like. The modern data-powered technology systems are driven by identifying, integrating, storing and analyzing data for useful business decisions. Scientific logic backed with data provides solid understanding of the business and its analysis.

Retail giants have increasingly leveraged in-store technology that allows customers to buy products without waiting in line for the cashier. By marrying advancements in artificial intelligence and computer vision, cameras and sensors, and deep learning algorithms, these locations permit visitors to shop by simply picking up goods or placing products in their carts, nixing the need for a cash register altogether. The trend appears to be catching on across the retail industry . Kroger and Albertsons have partnered with smart cart startup Veeve for a pilot that has rolled out in select stores. Amazon Go stores began opening to the public in 2018.

Alphabet's drone service Wing this morning announced another milestone, as it hit 200,000 commercial deliveries. The number, which the firm says excludes test flights, comes half-a-year after it hit 100,000. Australia, which has been the primary market for testing and commercial deployment, comprises 30,000 of those deliveries in the first two months of this year. Broken down further, Wing says it was up to more than 1,000 deliveries in a day, or one delivery every 25 seconds or so. The big round number arrives as it announces a commercial partnership with Coles, one of Australia's leading supermarket chains.
