Amazon's Echo Show 8 returns to an all-time low of $90

Engadget

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

#artificialintelligence

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.

Super-successful AI Investment Technologies Will Likely Never Be Publicly Available

#artificialintelligence

It's tempting to see AI as a solution to building a super-success investment engine. After all, if AI can solve text-to-speech or self-driving cars or landing rockets vertically, couldn't an artificially intelligent investing engine with access to all stock market, economy, weather, and trends data vastly outpace human investors and guarantee massive returns? And won't we be able to simply ask Alexa to buy a stock that's going to triple in value in six months? Well, never say never, but it's unlikely. One is that investment AI engines are returning benefits right now, but not Everest-sized performance that will blow your financial socks off and make you fire your investment advisor.


Multiple Choice Question Generation for Recommender System

#artificialintelligence

Want to improve this question? Update the question so it focuses on one problem only by editing this post. I have a project where I want to give recommendations of products based on answers to autogenerated questions. I have texts that explain for every product, in which cases they make sense for a client to buy (this project is about insurance policies). Based on these I want to generate multiple choice questions.


Is artificial intelligence a friend or foe? Or is that a question for Siri?

#artificialintelligence

Every time we ask Siri a question on our iPhones, we're using artificial intelligence, of course, but in what other ways will it infiltrate our lives? AI already goes beyond just Siri or Alexa. Every time you get directions from Google Maps, it's AI that's working out the shortest path from A to B. When you get a film recommendation on Netflix, it's AI that knows about people's preferences and a little too much about you. More than three-quarters of the movies watched on Netflix are those the algorithms choose for us. And we're spending more and more time locked away in digital and virtual realities.

Resonance as a Design Strategy for AI and Social Robots

#artificialintelligence

Resonance, a powerful and pervasive phenomenon, appears to play a major role in human interactions. This article investigates the relationship between the physical mechanism of resonance and the human experience of resonance, and considers possibilities for enhancing the experience of resonance within human–robot interactions. We first introduce resonance as a widespread cultural and scientific metaphor. Then, we review the nature of “sympathetic resonance” as a physical mechanism. Following this introduction, the remainder of the article is organized in two parts. In part one, we review the role of resonance (including synchronization and rhythmic entrainment) in human cognition and social interactions. Then, in part two, we review resonance-related phenomena in robotics and artificial intelligence (AI). These two reviews serve as ground for the introduction of a design strategy and combinatorial design space for shaping resonant interactions with robots and AI. We conclude by posing hypotheses and research questions for future empirical studies and discuss a range of ethical and aesthetic issues associated with resonance in human–robot interactions.


Improve & Personalize Your Customer Experience with AI - Latest Information Technology Trends & Updates

#artificialintelligence

Customer experience is the root of every business success. So, any tech decision you take should reflect it as a core foundation. With the rising trend of digital transformation, wherein AI (Artificial Intelligence) and data automation are playing a great role in transforming the way businesses operate – from data collection, processing, and security to HR and project management. AI technologies help you in time and cost savings by automating workflows and other customer-facing processes. It allows you to implement and streamline complex business operations and logic to ensure a consistent customer experience by catering to their individual needs, providing them the most relevant content, services, and assistance whenever they need.


La veille de la cybersécurité

#artificialintelligence

In 2016 at TechCrunch Disrupt New York, several of the original developers behind what became Siri unveiled Viv, an AI platform that promised to connect various third-party applications to perform just about any task. The pitch was tantalizing -- but never fully realized. Samsung later acquired Viv, folding a pared-down version of the tech into its Bixby voice assistant. Six years later, a new team claims to have cracked the code to a universal AI assistant -- or at least to have gotten a little bit closer. At a product lab called Adept that emerged from stealth today with $65 million in funding, they are -- in the founders' words -- "build[ing] general intelligence that enables humans and computers to work together creatively to solve problems."
