How AI is Impacting the Digital Marketing Landscape
Technology has always influenced the way a product is marketed. In fact, that's how we went from traditional marketing to digital marketing. Now, we have more advanced technologies impacting the way digital marketing works. AI or Artificial Intelligence is one such example.

Apple's $249 AirPods Pro pack noise cancellation and hands-free Siri
Apple says the AirPods Pro offer "superior sound quality" with audio feature called Adaptive EQ. According to the company, the tool "automatically tunes" low and mid-range frequencies to suit each person's ears. There's also an amplifier on board for "pure, incredibly clear sound" and extended battery life. Apple says the drivers inside the AirPods Pro can produce bass down to 20Hz to round out the "immersive" audio quality. To help you find the right fit, there's an Ear Tip Fit Test that examines the seal for each ear to determine what size tip will be best for you.
Alexa owners can now use the virtual assistant to refill their prescriptions
Today, Amazon announced Alexa users will now be able to use their virtual assistant to order prescription refills and set reminders for each type of medication they're on. The new feature will initially be limited to customers who have accounts at Giant Eagle, a grocery and drug store chain that includes more than 200 locations across the east coast and Midwest. After activating the'Manage my Medication' skill from the Alexa skill page, users will be asked to link an active account with Giant Eagle's pharmacy. Alexa will then walk new users through a setup process, according to a TechCrunch report, which will include reviewing each medication a person is taking and the timeframe they will be taking the medication in. To ensure privacy, Alexa's reminders will not disclose the specific name of the medication a user is taking, but simply say, 'This is a reminder, take your medication.' Users can have Alexa submit an order to refill a prescription, but Amazon doesn't support the ability to track the status of the request.
Singular Value Decomposition
Some quick notes about Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) to develop an intuition that will help solve problems related to collaborative filtering, natural language processing (NLP), dimensionality reduction, image compression, denoising data etc. Let's imagine we have a matrix \(\textbf{A}\) of size \(m\) by \(n\) where \(m\) is the number of rows and \(n\) is the number of columns. If we were building a recommender system, we can think of each row representing a user, each column representing an item, and each element in the matrix indicating whether the user has interacted with the item. In NLP, we can think of each row representing a document, and each column representing a term. This matrix stores the left singular vectors.
