Google Assistant can now automatically change passwords
Google said a year ago that Assistant would offer to change compromised passwords, and now the company is delivering on that promise in earnest. Android Police notes that Assistant warnings are now rolling out more broadly to Chrome users, including those on Android. Sign in to a site with a compromised password and you'll both get the familiar "change your password" alert and, on some sites, an option to have Assistant automatically make that change. You can take control at any point, but this will be helpful if you'd rather not spend time devising a secure replacement sign-in. The helper uses the AI from Google's web version of Duplex to navigate websites and apply password changes.

Sonos may roll out its own voice assistant next month
It seems Sonos is gearing up to roll out its own long-rumored voice assistant in the coming weeks. Sonos Voice is said to offer voice control for music playback on many of the company's devices, offering owners another option if they'd rather not use Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Sonos will first roll out Sonos Voice in the US on June 1st as part of a software update, according to The Verge. The feature should arrive in other countries later. A rumored $250 soundbar called Sonos Ray will likely be among those.
Machine Learning : The Subset of Artificial Intelligence
You may also have heard machine learning and AI used interchangeably. AI includes machine learning, but machine learning doesn't fully define AI. Machine learning and AI both have strong engineering components. You find AI and machine learning used in a great many applications today. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a huge topic today, and it's getting bigger all the time thanks to the success of technologies such as Siri.
Data Observability and Its Importance in Determining Intent - DataScienceCentral.com
In my blog "The Importance of Determining Intent", I discussed the importance of determining user intent to create an "intelligent" user or stakeholder experience. Analytics-centric organizations specialize in determining and codifying a user's intent in order to provide a more engaging, relevant, hyper-personalized experience (Figure 1). Figure 1: Using "Intent Determination" to Create an Intelligent Customer Experience To create an "intelligent" user experience requires leveraging AI/ML to analyze a deep history of the user's interactions to determine the user's intentions, and then coupling those intentions with current trends, patterns, and relationships to match those intentions with a deep understanding of the available content to recommend the most relevant action. We reviewed how digital marketing companies, such as those featured in Figure 1, determine user intent. These companies accumulate a deep history of each individual user's interactions including what sites or content they visited or viewed, how long they spent with each site or piece of content, what they clicked on, what they did not click on, and their contextual search requests. They analyze the user's interaction history, and match that with current trends and behaviors of similar cohorts, to determine and codify (think propensity scores) the user's intentions (areas of interest) that drives real-time recommendation decisions.
Ask Help Desk: Smart speakers can get dumber after learning your voice
But something clearly went haywire when the primary user of the speaker subscribes to YouTube Music and a second user turns on Voice Match. Things make more sense with Amazon Alexa and Apple Siri, which also have voice capabilities. I checked in with both companies, and neither cuts off other members of a household with voice matches from using a shared streaming music account.
Sonos joins Matter but hasn't committed to supporting the new standard
A huge reason behind Sonos' success is the company's adaptability. Whenever a new audio streaming service comes along -- and as the industry evolves and pushes new formats like lossless and Dolby Atmos spatial audio -- Sonos is always right there trying to support what's new. For voice assistants, Sonos offers both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant on its smart speakers. And the company also widely supports Apple's AirPlay 2 across its current product lineup. That's all on top of the whole-home audio platform that Sonos has built its brand on. But to stay so nimble and adaptable, Sonos constantly needs to be looking forward and have some sense of what's coming down the technology pike.
Amazon's Echo Show 8 returns to an all-time low of $90
For the first time since February, Amazon has discounted the Echo Show 8 to $90. We gave the second-generation model a score of 87 when Amazon released it midway through last year. We liked the Echo Show 8's vibrant 1,280 by 800 resolution display and handy video calling functionality. It comes with a digital pan-and-zoom face-tracking feature that follows you while you move around. Best of all, that feature works with every video chat platform available for the device, including Skype and Zoom. In addition to discounting the Echo Show 8, Amazon has also put the Echo Show 15 on sale.
How Forte Transforms the Building of NLP Solution with PyTorch into Assembly Lines
Forte introduces "DataPack", a standardized data structure for unstructured data, distilling good software engineering practices such as reusability, extensibility, and flexibility into PyTorch-based ML solutions. Machine Learning (ML) technologies are now widely used in many day-to-day applications. For example, the systems behind personal assistants like Siri or Alexa are grounded in complex ML technologies, such as Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision, and many more. While the consumer interface of Machine Learning systems may appear simple, the systems behind the scene can be much more complex than they first appear. For example, building an intelligent medical information retrieval system requires one to stitch together a diverse set of techniques.
