Every month, Amazon pushes a slate of updates to its Alexa-enabled devices. One of the more noteworthy features Amazon added this month is the ability to move music between Echo devices using your voice. If you want to do so between different speakers in your home, say "Alexa, pause" to the one currently playing music, and then say "Alexa, resume music here" to the device where you want to move your tunes to. The feature also works with Echo Buds and Echo Auto, allowing you to take your music on the go. If you're a football fan with an Echo Show, another new feature allows you to ask Alexa to play the Two-Minute drill, an NFL pregame show that will offer expert analysis on the next match your favorite team is about to play.

Maternal and child mortality is a public health problem that disproportionately affects low- and middle-income countries. Every day, 800 women and 6,700 newborns die from complications related to pregnancy or childbirth. And for every maternal death, about 20 women suffer serious birth injuries. However, nearly all of these deaths and negative health outcomes are preventable. Midwives are key to revert this situation, and thus it is essential to strengthen their capacities and the quality of their education. This is the aim of the Safe Delivery App, a digital job aid and learning tool to enhance the knowledge, confidence and skills of health practitioners. Here, we use the behavioral logs of the App to implement a recommendation system that presents each midwife with suitable contents to continue gaining expertise. We focus on predicting the click-through rate, the probability that a given user will click on a recommended content. We evaluate four deep learning models and show that all of them produce highly accurate predictions.

If you were asked to say what technologies you think have had the biggest impact on shaping our world, what would your answers be? Some examples that would likely feature might include electricity, the telephone, the computer and so on. Last time I asked students this question the most common response was wifi. Back in 1995 if you wanted to surf/work/learn on the internet you'd need to be tethered to a network cable (I still see some organisations working like this today). To anyone under the age of 45 wifi is generally given the same status as any wider utility, with the speed of broadband connectivity now forming a major part of the buying decision when people look at new homes.

Amazon is adding new features to Alexa that would allow the smart assistant to listen for the sound of kids turning on an Xbox, and automatically give them a chore list. The latest move is part of a series of measures by Amazon designed to make it more'passive', having it do more automatically without human intervention. Speaking at Web Summit 2021, which is being held in Lisbon this week, Tom Taylor, Senior Vice President of the Alexa division, said the firm wants people to have to talk to Alexa less. One of the new features taking it in this direction involves'passive sounds,' made from audio files people record around their own home that then trigger a Routine. 'Lets say you are a parent and want to make sure your kids do their chores,' he explained.

Amazon is trying to find ways how users could stop talking so much to its AI voice assistant. According to the company official, many people would be surprised since the tech giant wants its customers to interact with Alexa less. On Tuesday, Nov. 2, Alexa's senior vice president Tom Taylor announced more about the capability of artificial intelligence to incorporate in many devices, according to CNBC's report. "We believe that the future of consumer technology is ambient intelligence, which uses AI to weave together devices and intelligent services," Taylor stated during the Web Summit tech conference in Lisbon. At the time, many companies were exploring effective methods on how to enhance their voice assistants.

Speech synthesis is a computer-generated production of audible human words. The voices which you hear on hardware products like Google Home, Amazon Echo, GPS, and e-book are quite fast and cheap for many tech companies to create but they are not original and realistic in a true sense. But in the same context, artificial intelligence or AI operates a bit differently. AI voice uses deep learning to create higher-quality synthetic speech that more accurately imitates the pitch, tone, and pace of real human voice. There are many potential advantages of synthetic speech, AI voice has a myriad of use cases let's see a few. Few companies such as Papercup are using AI voice to translate videos by generating voices that sound like the original speaker for translation.
