The AI in retail market is anticipated to reach $4,337.1 million by 2024, registering a CAGR of 35.4% during the forecast period. The retail e-commerce industry is predicted to value $4.8 trillion by 2021, witnessing a massive surge in its revenue from $2.3 million in 2017. The credit of the impressive growth of this industry is mainly due to the popularity of the internet and its easy access to virtually every individual on this planet. Further, technological advancements in various fields have led to the development of smarter devices, easy payment methods and gateways, and connected logistics network; all of these have been major contributors in the popularity of retail e-commerce websites. During 2014–2018, machine learning was most extensively used in the retail e-commerce domain.

It is hard to underestimate the role of E-commerce in a world where most communications happen on the web and our virtual environment is full of advertisements with attractive products and services to buy. Meanwhile, it is obvious that many criminals are trying to take advantage of it, using scams and malware to compromise users' data. The level of E-commerce fraud is high, according to the statistics. With E-commerce sales estimated to reach $630 billion (or more) in 2020, an estimated $16 billion will be lost because of fraud. Amazon accounts for almost a third of all E-commerce deals in the United States; Amazon's sales numbers increase by about 15% to 20% each year. From 2018 to 2019, E-commerce spending increased by 57% -- the third time in U.S. history that the money spent shopping online exceeded the amount of money spent in brick-and-mortar stores. The Crowe UK and Centre for Counter Fraud Studies (CCFS) created Europe's most complete database of information on fraud, with data from more than 1,300 enterprises from almost every economic field.

Before the coronavirus hit, consumer expectations were already changing and creating challenges in the retail industry. And CIOs, who historically had little to do with developing new customer experiences, were increasingly being tasked with driving innovation. To deliver Amazon-like here-and-now products and services and build brand loyalty, they are turning to artificial intelligence (AI) to improve the shopping experience for consumers both in stores and online. Of course, AI alone won't transform retail but there are several key technologies that when married with AI can bring innovation to that industry. One is video analytics, which turns regular stores into intelligent stores that have visibility into consumer behavior for optimized merchandising.

Retailers looking to develop new customer experiences need to make artificial intelligence part of their digital transformation plans or risk falling further behind.

The coronavirus pandemic is changing the way we shop, especially for groceries. From donning masks to wearing gloves, many Americans are taking extra precautions when stocking up on pantry staples and other essential items. Grocery shopping online has become a great option for many during quarantine, and if you're shopping at Walmart, Google Assistant can help. With a few simple voice commands, you can order everything you need from Walmart using a Google-Assistant-enabled speaker or smartphone. While this may not be ideal for massive shopping lists, when you're standing in your kitchen looking at a cookbook or recipe site, it's convenient to just read off what you need to your smart assistant.

At supermarkets like Giant Eagle, robots are freeing up employees who previously spent time taking inventory to focus on disinfecting and sanitizing surfaces and processing deliveries to keep shelves stocked. Retailers insist the robots are augmenting the work of employees, not replacing them. But as the panic buying ebbs and sales decline in the recession that is expected to follow, companies that reassigned workers during the crisis may no longer have a need for them. The role of a cashier is also changing. For many years, retailers have provided self-checkout kiosks.

Metals shop and auto mechanics in high school; B.A. in Biology, eventually leading to an interest in General Systems and computing; interest in robotics sparked by the realization that autonomous machines could enable a vast improvement in land management.

Machine Learning in Python: Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for Handling High-Dimensional Data In this video, I will be showing you how to perform principal component analysis (PCA) in Python using the scikit-learn package. PCA represents a powerful learning approach that enables the analysis of high-dimensional data as well as reveal the contribution of descriptors in governing the distribution of data clusters. Particularly, we will be creating PCA scree plot, scores plot and loadings plot. This video is part of the [Python Data Science Project] series. If you're new here, it would mean the world to me if you would consider subscribing to this channel.

Machine learning (ML) practitioners gather data, design algorithms, run experiments, and evaluate the results. After you create an ML model, you face another problem: serving predictions at scale cost-effectively. Serverless technology empowers you to serve your model predictions without worrying about how to manage the underlying infrastructure. Services like AWS Lambda only charge for the amount of time that you run your code, which allows for significant cost savings. Depending on latency and memory requirements, AWS Lambda can be an excellent choice for easily deploying ML models.
