It has been described as Germany's most spectacular bank heist in years. On a quiet weekend just after Christmas, a group of thieves broke into a High Street bank in the western town of Gelsenkirchen, by boring through a wall with an industrial drill. They looted more than 3,000 safe deposit boxes and made off with millions of euros. Over a month later, police have yet to make an arrest. For the bank's clients, some of whom say they have lost their life savings and precious family jewellery and valuables, this is a time of anger, confusion and shock.

You can submit items you believe may amuse readers to Feedback by emailing feedback@newscientist.com Feedback is often on the lookout for a nice gift for Mrs Feedback, a task made significantly trickier by her pesky habit of pre-ordering books before we even realise they exist. So we were briefly intrigued to learn about something called "smart jewellery". Basically, imagine wearable technology like a Fitbit or Apple Watch that can monitor your heart rate and so forth, but instead of looking like a bit of tech, it is integrated into luxury jewellery. A recent South China Morning Post headline explains that "Gucci, Hermès, Tag Heuer, Vertu and other brands are combining Silicon Valley's wearable tech with exquisite European craftsmanship".

In mass manufacturing of jewellery, the gross loss is estimated before manufacturing to calculate the wax weight of the pattern that would be investment casted to make multiple identical pieces of jewellery. Machine learning is a technology that is a part of AI which helps create a model with decision-making capabilities based on a large set of user-defined data. In this paper, the authors found a way to use Machine Learning in the jewellery industry to estimate this crucial Gross Loss. Choosing a small data set of manufactured rings and via regression analysis, it was found out that there is a potential of reducing the error in estimation from +-2-3 to +-0.5 using ML Algorithms from historic data and attributes collected from the CAD file during the design phase itself. To evaluate the approach's viability, additional study must be undertaken with a larger data set.

As much as a programmer likes machine learning, there must come a time when they are overwhelmed by the study process. All the coding, maths and infrastructure of it might make one reach out for that extra cup of coffee. Now, e-commerce giant Amazon has made the world of generative artificial intelligence a little easier to understand by introducing its machine learning-powered MIDI-compatible keyboard, DeepComposer. AWS DeepComposer is a 32-key, 2-octave keyboard design. This ML keyboard offers developers to experience generative AI in a better way.

Polish designer Ewa Nowak has developed a mask that makes the wearer's face undetectable to facial recognition algorithms used in public surveillance cameras. Nowak designed the Incognito mask in an attempt to reclaim the privacy and anonymity that they feel has been lost to face-detecting cameras installed in public spaces. Described by the designer as "face jewellery", the main structure of the mask-like accessory consists of a long piece of brass that has been shaped to fit the contours of the face, curving behind the ears like a pair of glasses. It features three prominent elements that work together to make the wearer's face "unrecognisable" to cameras. These are two brass circles that sit below the wearer's eyes, and a rectangular element positioned between the eyes.

COPENHAGEN MUMBAI, October 07, 2019: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) (BSE: 532540, NSE: TCS), a leading global IT services, consulting and business solutions organization, has been selected by Pandora, a world-leading jewellery design and manufacturer, based in Copenhagen, as a strategic IT partner. The agreement with TCS marks a major milestone in Pandora's global IT transformation, which is part of Programme NOW, the company's brand relaunch and business turnaround plan. TCS will leverage its proven Machine First Delivery Model (MFDM), powered by ignio, its award-winning cognitive automation software, to enable the digital transformation.

Many will be flocking to the UK capital this week – all in the name of fashion. London Fashion Week is making a return on Friday, with fashionistas from all around the world gathering in celebration of fashion, community, diversity and creativity. In light of this, I wanted to take a look at the evolution of the fashion industry and how technology is transforming the sector at a pace faster than ever before. Wearable tech has been on the market for some time now, from the earliest days of the Fitbit to the latest iterations of the Apple Watch and Google Glass. Today, fashion leaders are merging form and function to make wearables more stylish and, well, wearable.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) or often called as machine learning, is finding its feet in every field. Be it stock trading, marketing, healthcare or fraud detection, the AI is certainly giving humans a run for their money. The newest addition of AI is coming in the product design front. That is the newest area in the consumer facing businesses where trends, fashion, preferences and taste changes every now and then. And the companies, already burdened with R&D overheads, are just not able to cope up with the fast change.

This time next week, on Tuesday 11 October at Bletchley Park, sees the launch of an initiative to celebrate women in maths and computing. As a new branch of the existing Suffrage Science scheme, it will encourage women into science, and to reach senior leadership roles. Women make up no more than four in ten undergraduates studying maths (London Mathematical Society), and fewer than two in ten of those studying computer science (WISE report, 2014). Despite much effort, there has been little sign of improvement. In fact, the number of women studying computer science at the undergraduate level has been in decline since the 1980s.
