Machine Learning
Machine Learning (ML) is NOT the same as Artificial Intelligence. That said, the connection between the two is undoubtedly undeniable. Machine learning is part of AI in which the algorithms allow the system to locate patterns and learn the trends in the data and try to make decisions without human intervention. ML technology is evolving so rapidly that every generation is entirely different from the last. The first types of ML were just programmed to perform certain tasks in case of a specific event.

"It doesn't look good for a date": Transforming Critiques into Preferences for Conversational Recommendation Systems

Conversations aimed at determining good recommendations are iterative in nature. People often express their preferences in terms of a critique of the current recommendation (e.g., "It doesn't look good for a date"), requiring some degree of common sense for a preference to be inferred. In this work, we present a method for transforming a user critique into a positive preference (e.g., "I prefer more romantic") in order to retrieve reviews pertaining to potentially better recommendations (e.g., "Perfect for a romantic dinner"). We leverage a large neural language model (LM) in a few-shot setting to perform critique-to-preference transformation, and we test two methods for retrieving recommendations: one that matches embeddings, and another that fine-tunes an LM for the task. We instantiate this approach in the restaurant domain and evaluate it using a new dataset of restaurant critiques. In an ablation study, we show that utilizing critique-to-preference transformation improves recommendations, and that there are at least three general cases that explain this improved performance.
How Educators Can Use Artificial Intelligence as a Teaching Tool
Deb Norton spends her days helping teachers in Wisconsin's Oshkosh Area school district get more comfortable with technology tools they're using to engage students.

Around then, the International Society for Technology in Education asked her to lead a course on the uses of artificial intelligence in the K-12 classroom. She was initially intrigued when she saw students light up at the mention of artificial intelligence. It soon became clear to her that they were already experiencing AI in their daily lives, with tools like Instagram filters or chatbots on websites.

FTC warns of extortionists targeting LGBTQ+ community on dating apps
The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) warns of extortion scammers targeting the LGBTQ community via online dating apps such as Grindr and Feeld. As the FTC revealed, the fraudsters would pose as potential romantic partners on LGBTQ dating apps, sending explicit photos and asking their targets to reciprocate. If they fall for the scammers' tricks, the victims will be blackmailed to pay a ransom, usually in gift cards, under the threat of leaking the shared sexual imagery with their family, friends, or employers. "To make their threats more credible, these scammers will tell you the names of exactly who they plan to contact if you don't pay up. This is information scammers can find online by using your phone number or your social media profile," the FTC said.
Unlocking the power of data with artificial intelligence
Data is the lifeblood of business – it drives innovation and enhances competitiveness. However, its importance was brought to the fore by the pandemic as lockdowns and social distancing drove digital transformation like never before. Forward-thinking businesses have started to grasp the importance of their data; they understand the consequences of not fully mobilizing it, but many are sat at the start of their journey. Even the best organizations are failing to extract the maximum benefits from their data while keeping it safe. This is where artificial intelligence (AI) comes into play – it can benefit enterprises with their data in three fundamental ways.
