Reading isn’t a passive pursuit. Benefits run the gamut -- such as improving memory and vocabulary, introducing new ideas, providing inspiration, and sharpening focus and concentration. These tips may be exactly what you need to provide the motivation to enthusiastically embrace an activity that’s never without reward. The List -- Begin by writing down books you’d enjoy based on your interests or subject matter helpful to achieve a personal or professional goal. A simple Goog

In the techno age, print remains resilient. The global book publishers’ market is expected to grow from $84.54 billion in 2021 to $89.25 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The market is targeted to reach $105.27 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 4.2%. Printed book sales amounted to 750.89 million units in 2020 and their sales have increased 13.2% between 2020 and 2021, and 21% between 2019 and 2021. According to a survey conducted by the Pew Research

Now that we’ve officially entered an era when machines can learn to solve complex problems without human intervention, what exactly are the problems they’re tackling? Here are several tasks Deep Learning (DL) supports today. It’s inevitable the list will expand as the algorithms continue to learn via the infusion of data. Virtual Assistants -- Whether it’s Alexa or Siri or Cortana, the virtual assistants of online service providers use DL to help understand your speech and t

Deep Learning (DL) is a type of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) that imitates the way humans gain certain types of knowledge. DL, a subset of machine learning, is essentially an artificial neural network with three or more “deep” layers. These neural networks (or algorithms) attempt to simulate the behavior of the human brain, allowing it to “learn” as they draw conclusions from large amounts of data continually analyzed within a given logical structure. Whi

Combinatorial Innovation (CI) is the art and science of creating something new from existing knowledge and resources. Combining unconventional elements in new, creative ways leads to a multiplier effect, increases the potential of a breakthrough discovery or invention and ultimately, an innovation’s impact. It yields solutions to complex challenges and can augment current business capabilities for new insights in the digital world, satisfying customer and industry demands. Th

“The medium is the message" is a phrase coined by the Canadian communication theorist Marshall McLuhan and the name of the first chapter in his ‘Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man,’ published in 1964. He proposed that a communication medium itself, not the messages it carries, should be the primary focus of study. He also claimed that artifacts as media affect any society by their characteristics or content. With McLuhan’s revelation in mind, Tomestic’s Founder and CE

DALL-E2, OpenAI’s improved version of DALL-E (a nod to “WALL-E, the 2008 animated movie about an autonomous robot, and Salvador Dalí, the surrealist painter) is a neural network that can turn natural language into stunning images, thanks to advanced deep learning techniques. DALL-E2 can create realistic, never-seen-before visuals from a simple text prompt. An example might be a tyrannosaurus playing the accordion while riding a unicycle on the moon. If you tweak the prompt wi

A myth is a widely held but false belief or idea. That a multitude of myths surround AI technology is understandable, since mainstream entertainment and all iterations of media are usually in the business of promoting a negative message to attract eyeballs and generate clicks. It’s time to examine some of the misinformation and develop a more realistic picture of what AI really is. Myth: AI will create an autonomous and malevolent Skynet-style system that will destroy humanit
