Nintendo Switch: Release date, price and features

The Independent - Tech

Nintendo has unveiled the Switch, the company's first games console since the disappointing Wii U. As its name suggests, the Nintendo Switch prides itself on versatility, with the surprisingly small handheld/console hybrid capable of being hooked up to a TV at home or being used in multiple modes on the go. Here's everything you need to know about the Nintendo Switch, ahead of its release. The giant human-like robot bears a striking resemblance to the military robots starring in the movie'Avatar' and is claimed as a world first by its creators from a South Korean robotic company Waseda University's saxophonist robot WAS-5, developed by professor Atsuo Takanishi and Kaptain Rock playing one string light saber guitar perform jam session A man looks at an exhibit entitled'Mimus' a giant industrial robot which has been reprogrammed to interact with humans during a photocall at the new Design Museum in South Kensington, London Electrification Guru Dr. Wolfgang Ziebart talks about the electric Jaguar I-PACE concept SUV before it was unveiled before the Los Angeles Auto Show in Los Angeles, California, U.S The Jaguar I-PACE Concept car is the start of a new era for Jaguar.

Watch Super Bowl 2017 Better, With Alexa, Siri and Other Tech

WSJ.com: WSJD - Technology

With the Super Bowl upon us once again, millions of people will gather with friends and family around big-screen TVs--and monumental levels of finger food--to watch the Atlanta Falcons take on the New England Patriots. More than ever, tech this year is changing the way we enjoy the big game. From virtual reality to artificial intelligence to 8K cameras and smartphone selfies, here's a guide to tech built just for the big event.


Mobile-second? We're heading to an AI-first future - Home

#artificialintelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) – the ability of machines to think for themselves – has been a topic long covered by Hollywood and one that conjures up concerning thoughts mostly driven by the likes of Skynet from the Terminator series, VIKI in iRobot, Ava from Ex Machina or Channel 4's biggest drama in 20 years, Humans. Yet some of the largest tech companies we've come to know and (mostly) love are gearing up to push our lives in this very direction. The full UK launch of Amazon Echo ( Alexa software) and the launch announcement of Google Home ( Assistant) puts products right in the centre of the so-called smart home – the first steps towards AI becoming an integral part of our lives. So what will this mean for users and businesses? And how will it change their technology and marketing needs in the shorter term?


Arghon AI Gets Personal

#artificialintelligence

To get everyone familiar with Arghon's many amazing features, we have decided to highlight one feature of our artificial intelligence each month. The feature for this month is Arghon Personalization: our AI's unique ability to learn and change for each individual user. Our AI learns a user's needs and adapts accordingly, proof of its superior standing in the AI market today. Arghon's ability to personalize to each user is arguably one of its best features.The more the AI gets familiar with a user's preferences, the more uniquely tailored it becomes. Each Arghon is different from any other AI in existence.


The Fundamental Statistics Theorem Revisited

@machinelearnbot

In this article, we revisit the most fundamental statistics theorem, talking in layman terms. We investigate a special but interesting and useful case, which is not discussed in textbooks, data camps, or data science classes. This article is part of a series about off-the-beaten-path data science and mathematics, offering a fresh, original and simple perspective on a number of topics. Previous articles in this series can be found here and also here. The theorem discussed here is the central limit theorem.


Building an Analytics Center of Excellence – A Practical Guide

@machinelearnbot

For companies newly endeavoring in establishing capabilities in Data Science, it is important to keep a few crucial points in mind. Clean data, applicable models, and business intuition are all key to success. Do not remove any of them from the equation. Data Science is essentially about identifying and/or creating the cleanest possible data set, then searching mathematically for patterns within it. The goal should be to help business users make important data-driven decisions, prove or disprove their intuitions, predict the future, or optimize outcomes and processes.


Three Creative Ways To Drive Brand Marketing From Patrón

Forbes - Tech

Mobile phones fundamentally changed how marketers reach consumers, but it's not the only technology that's impacting customer engagement. Augmented reality(AR), Virtual Reality (VR), conversational interfaces and machine learning have emerged as new tools in the digital marketing toolbox. To understand how technology is changing branding and the customer experience, I interviewed Lee Applbaum, the Global Chief Marketing Officer of Patrón Spirits International AG. Patrón is widely heralded as the company that changed Tequila's public perception. Once relegated as the liquor of a college party gone wrong, tequila is now sold in upscale bars, restaurants and clubs.


Eight Industries That AI Will Change Forever

Forbes - Tech

Companies handle a great deal of information every day, which can make it difficult to tease out trends or watch for sales opportunities. Artificial intelligence (AI) improvements are reducing that strain by automating data analysis, which can reduce costs as well as the time required to make decisions. Recent AI technology developments mean that firms now have a chance to take advantage of stronger analysis automation in fields like shipping, travel, health care and even transportation. Below, executives from Forbes Technology Council highlight eight industries that will benefit most from artificial intelligence. Technicians analyze data following the trial of an autonomous self-driving vehicle.


Q&A: How to fix problems with Wi-Fi

USATODAY - Tech Top Stories

Too many laptops, tablets and other mobile devices leads to congested WiFi airwaves. Q: I have horrible Wi-Fi in rooms of my house. A: A wireless network repeater is a great way to extend coverage, but it has to be placed in the right spot. Most routers spread signals in a circle. The closer you are to the router, the stronger the signal. As the circle spreads out, there is a sweet spot to put the repeater.


AI Is About to Learn More Like Humans--with a Little Uncertainty

WIRED

Neural networks are all the rage in Silicon Valley, infusing so many internet services with so many forms of artificial intelligence. But as good as they may be at recognizing cats in your online photos, AI researchers know that neural networks are still quite flawed, so much so that some wonder whether these pattern recognition systems are a viable path to more advanced--and more reliable--forms of AI. Able to learn tasks by analyzing vast amounts of data, neural networks power everything from face recognition at Facebook to translation at Microsoft to internet search at Google. They're beginning to help chatbots learn the art of conversation. But because they can't make sense of the world without help from such large amounts of carefully labelled data, they aren't suited to everything.
