Roku Streambar Pro review: A solid, Roku-enabled upgrade for your TV's built-in speakers
Roku has been slowly expanding its line of affordable soundbars, most recently with last year's compact, "pretty good" Streambar, and now comes the $180 Streambar Pro, the successor to 2019's Smart Soundbar. While none of Roku's soundbars will appeal to audiophiles, they're perfect for everyday viewers looking to upgrade their TV's tinny audio without breaking the bank, and the 2.0-channel Streambar Pro ups the ante with surprisingly solid sound and a new virtual surround mode. The Streambar Pro's efficient audio performance is already a strong selling point, but the real draw is an integrated Roku streaming player with 4K HDR playback, not to mention Alexa, Google Assistant, HomeKit, and AirPlay 2 support. This review is part of TechHive's coverage of the best soundbars. Click that link to read reviews of competing products, along with a buyer's guide to the features you should consider when shopping.
Denoising User-aware Memory Network for Recommendation

For better user satisfaction and business effectiveness, more and more attention has been paid to the sequence-based recommendation system, which is used to infer the evolution of users' dynamic preferences, and recent studies have noticed that the evolution of users' preferences can be better understood from the implicit and explicit feedback sequences. However, most of the existing recommendation techniques do not consider the noise contained in implicit feedback, which will lead to the biased representation of user interest and a suboptimal recommendation performance. Meanwhile, the existing methods utilize item sequence for capturing the evolution of user interest. The performance of these methods is limited by the length of the sequence, and can not effectively model the long-term interest in a long period of time. Based on this observation, we propose a novel CTR model named denoising user-aware memory network (DUMN). Specifically, the framework: (i) proposes a feature purification module based on orthogonal mapping, which use the representation of explicit feedback to purify the representation of implicit feedback, and effectively denoise the implicit feedback; (ii) designs a user memory network to model the long-term interests in a fine-grained way by improving the memory network, which is ignored by the existing methods; and (iii) develops a preference-aware interactive representation component to fuse the long-term and short-term interests of users based on gating to understand the evolution of unbiased preferences of users. Extensive experiments on two real e-commerce user behavior datasets show that DUMN has a significant improvement over the state-of-the-art baselines. The code of DUMN model has been uploaded as an additional material.

How to Smarten Up Your Home With Alexa Routines
It can be tiring calling on Amazon's virtual assistant for every command to turn on a variety of smart home devices in succession. But did you know you can set up Alexa routines and create a single voice command that triggers a series of different actions? To design routines, you need to use the Alexa app. Once you make one, you can use an Alexa speaker, smart display, or another smart home device with built-in Alexa to trigger a routine. You can also schedule routines, or trigger them via third-party smart home devices, by dismissing alarms, or with Echo buttons.
Max Lin on finishing second in the R Challenge
I participated in the R package recommendation engine competition on Kaggle for two reasons. First, I use R a lot. I cannot learn statistics without R. This competition is my chance to give back to the community a R package recommendation engine. Second, during my day job as an engineer behind a machine learning service in the cloud, product recommendation is one of the most popular applications our early adopters want to use the web service for.
What are the benefits of Artificial Intelligence in Government?
In other words, it can be said that Artificial Intelligence is an extraordinary content source for the public sector and, above all, it is a great value . Many developed and developing countries are already implementing AI in different activities within the Public Administration. An example of this is what the Government of Finland is doing, which is conducting tests with what is considered, so far, the most ambitious public assistant based on Artificial Intelligence in the world: AuroraAI . The objective of this program is to offer citizens personalized services, and filter them according to the specific needs of each person at different times in their lives. Likewise, work is being done to integrate public and business services into a single platform.
Propagation-aware Social Recommendation by Transfer Learning
Social-aware recommendation approaches have been recognized as an effective way to solve the data sparsity issue of traditional recommender systems. The assumption behind is that the knowledge in social user-user connections can be shared and transferred to the domain of user-item interactions, whereby to help learn user preferences. However, most existing approaches merely adopt the first-order connections among users during transfer learning, ignoring those connections in higher orders. We argue that better recommendation performance can also benefit from high-order social relations. In this paper, we propose a novel Propagation-aware Transfer Learning Network (PTLN) based on the propagation of social relations. We aim to better mine the sharing knowledge hidden in social networks and thus further improve recommendation performance. Specifically, we explore social influence in two aspects: (a) higher-order friends have been taken into consideration by order bias; (b) different friends in the same order will have distinct importance for recommendation by an attention mechanism. Besides, we design a novel regularization to bridge the gap between social relations and user-item interactions. We conduct extensive experiments on two real-world datasets and beat other counterparts in terms of ranking accuracy, especially for the cold-start users with few historical interactions.

7 Great Examples of Artificial Intelligence in Daily Life
The term Artificial Intelligence (AI) may conjure up images of futuristic robots and scenes from movies like The Matrix. While some highly sophisticated applications of AI still feel as though they belong to a distant future, Artificial Intelligence is in fact already all around us in daily life. Through AI technology, machines are trained to evaluate stimuli in an intentional and intelligent manner, adapt to it, and make decisions. And according to McKinsey & Company's 2020 global survey on the State of AI, over half of organizations are already using AI to facilitate at least one business function. In truth, the vast majority of us are already interacting with Artificial Intelligence every day.
