8、lands on a pilotless plane.So far, online travel agency K has partnered with Czech airplane technology company Zuri to develop a concept plane that could fly completely unmanned.The plane would come in response to concerns that the industry would experience a serious problem in the near future that
9、would threaten the growth of world air travel.The International Air Transport Association estimates there will be about 650，000 short of new pilots in the world over the next 20 years, and that the airline traffic will nearly double during that same period.The plane, which is expected to carry up to
10、 four passengers, would have a wing span of roughly 11 meters and would weigh only 900 kilograms.It would use vertical takeoff and landing technology, which means the plane can land vertically, meaning it can be landed in more places.Developers hope the prototype (原型) will be able to fly up to 698 k
11、ilometers, which is the distance between London and Germany.The plane would be ideal for travelling between islands as travellers wouldnt need to worry about changing from commercial flights to boats, taxis or car rides.Oliver Dlouhy, CEO and CoFounder of K said, “The Zuri project represents a direc
12、tion that I see as key to the future transportation.Combined with the global transportation network, it will bring completely new chances for travelling by adding thousands of smaller islands into the airports catchment areas.”But pilotless or single pilot operation of airplanes wont be easy in an i
13、ndustry where at least two pilots in the cockpit (驾驶舱)are required.Many airlines around the world made this a rule after a pilot flew a plane into the French Alps in March 2015, killing all 150 people on board.Whats more, its also unclear whether passengers or their insurers or carriers would accept

17、 be a new trend in the travelling industry.CPeople turn to many different sources for clothing style advice, from magazines to best friends to Instagram.Soon, though, you may be able to ask your smartphone.A computer science team from University of Texas at Austin, in partnership with researchers fr
18、om Cornell Tech, Georgia Tech and Facebook AI Research, has developed an artificial intelligence system that can look at a photo of an outfit(服装)and suggest helpful tips to make it more fashionable.“We thought of it like a friend giving you advice，” said Kristen Grauman, a professor of computer scie

20、l alternative outfits to the user.Fashionwas trained using more than 10，000 images of outfits shared publicly on online sites for fashion enthusiasts.Finding images of fashionable outfits was easy, said graduate student Kimberly Hsiao, but finding unfashionable images proved challenging.So, she came
21、 up with a solution.She mixed images of fashionable outfits to create lessfashionable examples and trained the system on what not to wear.“As fashion styles develop, the AI can continue to learn by giving it new images, which are abundant on the Internet，” Hsiao said.Like all AI systems, bias can sp
22、read through the data sets for Fashion.The researchers pointed out that vintage (复古的) looks are harder to recognize as stylish because training images came from the Internet, which has been in wide use only since the 1990s.Additionally, because the users submitting images were mostly from North Amer
23、ica, styles from other parts of the world dont show up as much.Another challenge is that many images of fashionable clothes appear on models, but bodies come in many sizes and shapes, affecting fashion choices.Next up, Grauman and Hsiao are working toward letting the AI learn what suits different bo

28、yal to their local bookshop and out of the control of supermarkets and corporations.But the arrival of ecommerce and ereaders has promoted questions worthy of their own tomes (大部头著作).Can you fix the price of a book if it is part of an allyoucanread subscription service? Are audiobooks books at all?
29、And what of authors who selfpublish?Changes have been made to preserve the principle of “one book, one price”In 2011, the rule began to apply to digital tomes.Free delivery by online sellers was prohibited because it implied a subsidy (补贴) on the delivered books (encouraging online sellers to charge
30、 only0.01 for postage).But a new challenge to the policy is proving more difficult to deal with.Used books are exempted from the pricing rule.Thirdparty sellers on Amazon are accused of using this as a way to apply forbidden discounts: selling brandnew books as “secondhand” to make them cheaper.So f
