Try these useful Siri commands when you watch a movie on Apple TV

USATODAY - Tech Top Stories

I love my Apple TV, but I can't stand the old Siri remote that came with it. Its touchpad is too sensitive, and I never know if it's in the right orientation when I grab it. Apple did fix all that with its second-generation Siri remote, but why buy another one when the one I currently have still works--especially when I can use a few handy Siri commands to do more than what the touchpad can do. On the Apple TV and accompanying Siri remote there's a handy microphone button that lets you chat directly with Siri to get your TV to do things like search for movies in a specific genre or year, ping other devices, and even fast forward by a specific amount of time. Not every command is intuitive, though, so it's helpful to know a few of them off-hand before you binge another series.

The importance of AI-enabled drug research to develop effective therapies - MedCity News

#artificialintelligence

Many of us interact with artificial intelligence (AI) in our everyday lives, from online searches and receiving personalized shopping recommendations to booking travel, making reservations and asking questions of digital assistants in our homes. The use of AI has been growing significantly because of its ability to carry out complex tasks rapidly and solve problems without human intervention. AI's ability to quickly scan and synthesize huge volumes of information is also being adopted for numerous healthcare initiatives, including use in pharmaceutical drug discovery and development. The traditional process of drug discovery and development of just one new drug can take more than a decade and cost billions of dollars. Most drug candidates eventually fail to show effectiveness in clinical trials and large pharmaceutical companies often abandon investments in early development of drug candidates even before the clinical trial stage because of cost.

What are the Most In-demand Skills in Artificial Intelligence?

#artificialintelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is intelligence exhibited by machines. In Computer Science, AI research deals with how to create computers that are capable of intelligent behavior. AI has been defined in numerous ways, but in general, it can be described as a way of making a computer system "smart" โ€“ able to understand complex tasks and carry out complex commands. The principal benefit of AI is that it can help humans make better decisions by providing insights and recommendations informed by data. AI has several applications and is being employed in a growing number of industries, including healthcare, finance, manufacturing, and transportation. Some of the most remarkable applications of AI are in the field of robotics, where AI is used to create machines that can carry out complex tasks.


CARCA: Context and Attribute-Aware Next-Item Recommendation via Cross-Attention

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

In sparse recommender settings, users' context and item attributes play a crucial role in deciding which items to recommend next. Despite that, recent works in sequential and time-aware recommendations usually either ignore both aspects or only consider one of them, limiting their predictive performance. In this paper, we address these limitations by proposing a context and attribute-aware recommender model (CARCA) that can capture the dynamic nature of the user profiles in terms of contextual features and item attributes via dedicated multi-head self-attention blocks that extract profile-level features and predicting item scores. Also, unlike many of the current state-of-the-art sequential item recommendation approaches that use a simple dot-product between the most recent item's latent features and the target items embeddings for scoring, CARCA uses cross-attention between all profile items and the target items to predict their final scores. This cross-attention allows CARCA to harness the correlation between old and recent items in the user profile and their influence on deciding which item to recommend next. Experiments on four real-world recommender system datasets show that the proposed model significantly outperforms all state-of-the-art models in the task of item recommendation and achieving improvements of up to 53% in Normalized Discounted Cumulative Gain (NDCG) and Hit-Ratio. Results also show that CARCA outperformed several state-of-the-art dedicated image-based recommender systems by merely utilizing image attributes extracted from a pre-trained ResNet50 in a black-box fashion.


What's the Matter? We Explain the New Smart Home Standard

WIRED

The ideal smart home seamlessly anticipates your needs and instantly responds to commands. You shouldn't have to open a specific app for each appliance or remember the precise voice command and voice assistant combination that starts the latest episode of your favorite podcast on the nearest speaker. Competing smart home standards make operating your devices needlessly complicated. Tech giants try to straddle standards by offering their voice assistants as a controlling layer on top, but Alexa can't talk to Google Assistant or Siri or control Google or Apple devices, and vice versa. And so far, no single ecosystem has created all the best devices.


5 ways Artificial Intelligence is revolutionising African businesses according to Nigerian based entrepreneur Dumebi Okwechime [BI Africa Exclusive]

#artificialintelligence

A new wave of change in how consumers interact with services is on the horizon, driven by the growing demand for rapid responses from customers. According to Okwechime, AI-powered Chatbots leverage Natural Language Processing to understand conversations and their contexts to such an advanced level that appropriate responses can be generated. He explained that recent advances have gone beyond text-based chats, with companies like Apple (Siri), Google, and Amazon (Alexa), introducing voice-controlled virtual assistants, able to answer an infinite number of questions proficiently in natural language dialogue. "In a market like Africa where literacy rate falls heavily behind the world's average, voice-controlled products and services will revolutionise how a consumer interacts with technology platforms, reducing entry barriers and improving technology adoption," he said.
