Summary: Deep learning and Big Data are being adopted in law enforcement and criminal justice at an unprecedented rate. Does this scare you or make you feel safe? When you read the title, whether your mind immediately went for the upstairs "H" or the downstairs "H" probably says something about whether the new applications of Big Data in law enforcement let you sleep like a baby or keep you up at night. You might have thought your choice of "H" related to whether you've been on the receiving end of Big Data in law enforcement but the fact is that practically all of us have, and for those who haven't it won't take much longer to reach you. There is an absolute explosion in the use of Big Data and predictive analytics in our legal system today driven by the latest innovations in data science and by some obvious applications.

Huawei's slice of the worldwide mobile pie isn't as big as it used to be, but hey -- at least it keeps getting better at making big phones. We didn't know it would be the last Nexus phone, but the 6P was a solid sendoff. Then came the enormous Mate 8, which was incredibly well built (even if the company's EMUI interface sometimes made me want to jam a fork in my eye). With the new Mate 9, however, Huawei is trying to do things a little differently. Case in point: the phone will eventually launch in the US, a first for the company's flagship phablets.

Our research shows that Python is one of the most popular languages for data science analyses, in use by more than one-third (36%) of organizations.

Machines enrich and enhance our lives, whether it's the smartphones that allow us to stay connected or the supercomputers that solve our toughest computational problems. Imagine how much more productive and innovative our world will be when computers become infinitely more powerful. Indeed, the growing field of quantum computing may make our current technological capacities look feeble and primitive in comparison. It could even transform the workings of the human brain and revolutionize how we think in ways we can't begin to imagine. Today, computers operate at the most basic level by manipulating two states: a zero or a one.

It's difficult to talk about security analytics without considering machine learning. Machine learning is used to detect malicious websites, flow anomalies, infectious files, infected endpoints and user behavior anomalies. It's applied to big data repositories to glean information and insights that may otherwise go undetected. Multiple industries are using machine learning to better automate security screening, border entry, college applicant selection, loan analytics and health care. Behind the scenes, almost every industry that affects our daily lives involves some type of machine learning. Machine learning is based upon statistical analytics of existing data and learning applied to new data sets.

This week brings us one chatbot, one'robot judge' closer in the AI revolution of legal. While financial, services and other industries charge head-on into the technological future, legal's embrace of technology has been a reluctant move at best. As Clutch Group president Brandon Daniels told me in a conversation earlier this week, when it comes to legal, "the application of artificial intelligence tends to create some trepidation."

Positive Grid can already provide you with modelled guitar amps and effects in your iPad, and now the company is set to provide a virtual drummer as well. In fact, it's claimed that AI Drums could be your "best songwriting partner", being "the world's first artificial intelligence drum app". Positive Grid says that, with just a few finger taps, AI Drums can learn your song structure, BPM and music style. It'll then search through thousands of drum patterns and kits in the cloud and select those that are most suitable, though you can change the'feel'. We're also told that, because it uses "the latest AI technology and deep machine learning", the more you use AI Drums, the more it learns about your drum preferences.

Chatbots and conversational interfaces are the new big thing: they are intuitive, natural, and can be quickly deployed without downloading a new app. Use cases for enterprises are numerous: agenda management, customer support, ... During this talk, we will focus on one particular B2B application: how intelligent assistants can reinvent the way analysts and data scientists access and spread advanced data analytics across organizations.

NowDiscover, a unique content recommendation engine built to bridge the gap between video content and e-commerce/retail, has formally launched. Following months of successful customer trials of the platform, which tailors video content into product websites to increase sales, is now full accessible to businesses worldwide in Beta. NowDiscover parses product data from any online store before scouring YouTube for videos that are likely to help consumers reach their purchasing decision and automatically integrates these videos directly into e-merchant's site. The platform has proven to boost sales and saves both e-merchants and consumers time by delivering informative tutorials, branded, unboxing and review videos via a proprietary player at the crucial moment in the shopping journey. Commenting on the launch, co-founder Vishal Kawatra said: "NowDiscover bridges the gap between content and ecommerce, giving the shopper the video experience they want. The increased amount of video content across online platforms has left consumers wanting richer more immersive experiences before they buy. NowDiscover satiates consumer desire for authentic as well as branded product videos to inform purchase decisions."
