Existing multimodal task-oriented dialog data fails to demonstrate the diverse expressions of user subjective preferences and recommendation acts in the real-life shopping scenario. This paper introduces a new dataset SURE (Multimodal Recommendation Dialog with SUbjective PREference), which contains 12K shopping dialogs in complex store scenes. The data is built in two phases with human annotations to ensure quality and diversity. SURE is well-annotated with subjective preferences and recommendation acts proposed by sales experts. A comprehensive analysis is given to reveal the distinguishing features of SURE. Three benchmark tasks are then proposed on the data to evaluate the capability of multimodal recommendation agents. Based on the SURE, we propose a baseline model, powered by a state-of-the-art multimodal model, for these tasks.

The restaurant industry has evolved significantly over the years, but technology has transformed it in ways that few could have predicted.

The field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is constantly evolving and growing more sophisticated. This presents both challenges and opportunities for the Manufacturing Industry. As, AI technology advances, it is becoming more and more capable of Automating tasks that have traditionally been done by Human workers. This can result in increased efficiency and productivity for manufacturers, but it can also lead to job loss as machines replace human workers. AI is also being used to create more personalised and customised products.

Online orders skyrocketed at Walmart, the largest retailer in the US, when the pandemic hit, making more work for in-store employees. At the same time, demand for certain products led to frequent stock outages. While Walmart's ordering app allowed customers to indicate their preferred substitutes for out-of-stock products, customers usually skipped this step. This forced the Walmart employees who pick and pack items on behalf of the customer to make the decision themselves. As a result, dissatisfied customers returned one in ten substitute items, leaving Walmart to refund the full amount of the product and pick up the cost of restocking.
