Following a brief overview discussing why we prefer listening to expressive music instead of lifeless synthesized music, we examine a representative selection of well-known approaches to expressive computer music performance with an emphasis on AI-related approaches. In the main part of the paper we focus on the existing CBR approaches to the problem of synthesizing expressive music, and particularly on TempoExpress, a case-based reasoning system developed at our Institute, for applying musically acceptable tempo transformations to monophonic audio recordings of musical performances. Finally we briefly describe an ongoing extension of our previous work consisting on complementing audio information with information of the gestures of the musician. Music is played through our bodies, therefore capturing the gesture of the performer is a fundamental aspect that has to be taken into account in future expressive music renderings. This paper is based on the "2011 Robert S. Engelmore Memorial Lecture" given by the first author at AAAI/IAAI 2011.

An efficient traffic signal control system (TSCS) should not only be reactive to the current traffic but also be predictive by anticipating future traffic disturbances. In this study, we investigate the potential of using convolution neural network (CNN) in detecting emergency cases and forecasting events that can interrupt the traffic flow. Case-based reasoning (CBR) is then exploited to react to detected and forecasted events. We further develop an adapted Reinforcement Leaning (RL) algorithm in building and enhancing the case bases. The proposed system inherits the advantages of CNN, CBR, and RL, which allow detection, prediction, control, evaluation, and learning in a unified framework.

IBM Watson Assistant (WA), at its core has a basic intent and entity structure. Intents are as minimalist as can be. During the intent creation process, there are two features which aid in the defining of intents. Bot of these features translate into better defined intents, and translates nicely into the JSON export file. Hence the leverage these functions lend to the intent creation process is not lost.

Ahead of the U.S. presidential election on November 3, IBM today announced it's working with states to put information into the hands of potential voters. Using the AI and natural language processing capabilities of Watson Assistant, IBM says it's helping field voter queries online and via phone by advising people on polling place locations, voting hours, procedures for requesting mail-in ballots, and deadlines. Research from the Pew Center indicates that nearly half of all U.S. voters expect to have difficulties casting a ballot due to the coronavirus pandemic. In a recent NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist Poll, 41% of those surveyed said they believed the U.S. is not very prepared or not at all prepared to keep November's election safe and secure. IBM's election-focused Watson Assistant offering taps Watson Discovery to surface information about voting logistics from federal, state, and county websites; local news reports; and government documents.

MLassisted applications are a trend, and many researchers and developers are rushing to apply ML and recover their inherent potential benefits [2] [3]. However, using ML techniques to solve any problem do require some previous background and expertise. For example, it is vital to choose the ML technique that better suits the target application in terms of available computational capability and expected target results. In sequence to an adequate ML technique choice, it is typically necessary to model the problem under the premises of the chosen technique. The modeling process may include, as an example, an MDP-based markovian process (Markov Decision Process) like Q-Learning or SARSA formulation for Reinforcement Learning or the definition of a neural network structure for Neural Networks (NN) [4] [5].

Fox News Flash top headlines are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com. A Minnesota beer brand is planning to reward one person's extremely questionable behavior with a ridiculous amount of free beer. Hamm's, which bills itself as "the beer … refreshing," has announced a contest to find the library-goer who hid several cans of Hamm's beer behind some paneling at a Washington state library some time in the 1980s. BUDWEISER WANTS TO BECOME UTAH'S STATE BEER News of the hidden stash recently made headlines after facilities workers at the Walla Walla Public Library discovered the beer -- which is estimated to be over 30 years old -- during a reorganizing of the facility.

There is no famous person or single individual in history who has achieved his or her goals in life without working hard and sweating on them. Whether working more than anyone, studying more than anyone, or even suffering more than everyone else, you need to understand the importance of working towards your ultimate goal, without that, there is no way to have goals in life that are achievable really. To start the hard work, you can set your schedule, write down the tasks and functions of the day and find the right people and resources to help you. Who this course is for: Technology professionals Technology courses instructor since 2019 and database specialist.

Most often the first step in creating a chatbot is listing the different intents. Intents are really the different intentions a user might want to exercise in using your chatbot. From this example Customer Care Sample Skill, the different intents are clearly care related to each other. The first intent addressed, usually is the greeting, then the goodbye, followed by small talk. The key is to segment the intents accurately, and not have conflicts.

While her peers reveled in an unprecedented virtual school year, the self-described "technology enthusiast," Harita Suresh, 13, was bored. She decided on an online course and settled on IBM Skills Network's "AI chatbots without programming." She lacked experience with artificial intelligence, but was eager to learn through the self-paced course. Harita is more than a little familiar with tech, "I have been interested in technology since I was 5," she said. "My first coding challenge was the Lightbot Hour of Code. I was fascinated that the code I wrote could control the actions of the characters on screen. Since then, I pursued coding on multiple platforms like code.org, The more I learned about tech, the more I wanted to know. In fifth grade, I took a Python programming course offered by Georgia Tech."

Staying healthy and fit is a critical habit to build (especially in the midst of a global pandemic). Unfortunately, without the amenities of our everyday fitness routines-- lavish community gyms, expert personal trainers, even that one buddy who spends way too much time working out-- staying in shape can be a struggle for many. But what if you could have 24/7 access to expert-level, on-demand personal training advice, as quickly and easily as sending a text message? Thanks to increasingly sophisticated conversational AI technologies, it's now possible to build your very own virtual workout advisor in just minutes (even if you have no clue how to code). In this tutorial, we're going to walk through the process of creating an AI personal trainer using IBM's Watson Assistant.
