We construct a large scale of causal knowledge in term of Fabula elements by extracting causal links from existing common sense ontology ConceptNet5. We design a Constrained Monte Carlo Tree Search (cMCTS) algorithm that allows users to specify positive and negative concepts to appear in the generated stories. cMCTS can find a believable causal story plot. We show the merits by experiments and discuss the remedy strategies in cMCTS that may generate incoherent causal plots.

NVIDIA's (NASDAQ:NVDA) quarterly revenues have been surging at double-digit rates in the last three quarters and, looking at the guidance for the next quarter, it's clear that the company is expecting the growth rate to continue unabated in the near future. One of the key factors that has added fuel to their engines is NVIDIA's new growth drivers: the data center segment and auto segment. In the most recent quarter, NVIDIA's data center unit reported 151 million in sales, a growth of 109.72% The growth in data center revenues is much higher than other segments, and there are several reasons why this growth can, in fact, continue its breakneck pace for several more quarters. NVIDIA's expertise in the GPU segment has given it a range of must-have products for hyperscale data centers.

Microsoft is bringing Cortana, its voice-activated virtual assistant, to Xbox One this summer as part of a larger software update. The new version will also include a refreshed Game Collection interface, the addition of PC games on Xbox Live and combined Xbox and Windows stores, Sarah Perez writes.

Google is expected to announce two new phones Tuesday, but information seemingly posted early by a British retailer may have given us all a sneak peek. All unofficial leaks, no matter where they come from, should be taken with a grain of salt. With that in mind, however, the leak from retailer Carphone Warehouse does back up a few things already suspected about the phones, according to 9 to 5 Google. The Carphone Warehouse leak, for example, supports what we have heard about the new phone's name. For several years, Google has released phones under the "'Nexus" brand name.

Few would argue Android got off to a slow start. Back in 2008, it was the eagerly anticipated Google mobile platform that was supposed to take on the barely year-old Apple iPhone and venerable RIM (BlackBerry). The first Android phone, the HTC-built G1, was unusual and distinctive. It even had a dedicated, physical search button (so Google), but it didn't inspire or sell very well. For a long time, Android appeared to have a failure-to-launch problem.

Google Pixel Tomorrow, Oct 4, is Google's day with the tech giant expected to launch products from new Pixel smartphones to showcase what Android can do ( and already leaked as below), to the much hyped about smart home hub, the Google Home speaker. This product, which will make use of its voice-enabled AI Google Assistant, is meant to be a direct rival to Amazon's Alexa. But as voice-control heats up, and consumers grow more comfortable running their homes by just saying what they want, tech companies are eager to be the app used to run people's lives. Images of Google Pixel phones were leaked late last night by a retailer Carphone Warehouse, before images were taken down. California has just given the greenlight to self-driving cars--without drivers.

It hasn't even been six months since I reviewed the Echo Dot, the smaller companion to the full-sized Echo, and I already have the second-generation version in my hands. The new and improved Echo Dot is still a powerful and convenient voice-controlled smart home hub for your home, but it's an even better deal. The Echo Dot is no longer order-only via Amazon's Alexa voice assistant through an Echo or Fire TV. It's now more squat, a whole lot glossier, cheaper at 50 (the old one was 90) and comes in a six-pack (buy five, get the sixth one free) for all of your rooms.

When was the idea of a brand born? Maybe it's always been with us--or even before us. The show has some irresistibly charming pieces on view, from human-sized Starbucks cups to a blinding neon sign reading "Bitch, you're a fan" (a reference to Madonna's Instagram account). But perhaps the most provocative piece is a comprehensive timeline of branding, all the way from 1 BC to today. The time line begins with a simple argument: that the world has always been branded.

Google will this week launch the first smartphones that carry its own brand and design, as part of a batch of new devices aimed at competing in markets with Apple and Amazon. The new gadgets, which will include a voice-responsive "smart speaker" modeled on Amazon's Echo, are the first products of a new hardware division set up earlier this year. Google has in the past mainly developed hardware to show off its software and services and to encourage other consumer tech companies to create a mass market for the technology. But like Microsoft, whose Surface has become the leading product in a new category of tablet/laptop hybrids, Google has been drawn deeper into developing its own distinctive products. The new devices are about Google "owning more of the hardware category", said Jan Dawson, senior analyst at Jackdaw Research, though the main impetus will still be "about showing partners the way forward".
