Nils Lenke, head of research at Nuance, says that the collaboration raises some interesting questions for everyone working in the area of voice recognition and artificial intelligence.
"On the one hand, it confirms what we have been saying for a long time: assistants should be specialised in specific areas, rather than creating a 'jack of all trades, master of none' scenario.
"The most exciting question is: How exactly do two virtual assistants, two artificial intelligence solutions, work together?
"Well, first of all, the AI solution must know what it does not know, and what the other does know. Alexa should know what Cortana knows to be able to decide who ought to respond to a specific inquiry - and vice versa.
As things stand, you'll need to be specific that you want to use the other assistant, saying something like "Alexa, ask Cortana if I have any appointment today".
But, as Lenke points out, it would be much better if both interoperable AI systems knew where they should go for the answer to your question without you having to be specific about the assistant.
"Depending on how well the interactions with other AIs work and how satisfied the human user is with the results, the model can be refined over time."
The makers of Pawan Singh’s upcoming ‘Raja’ have released the official trailer of the film that also stars Sambhavna Seth and Priti Biswas in pivotal roles.
In the trailer, Pawan can be seen pulling off some high octane action scenes apart from burning the dance floor with Sambhava Seth and sparking off an amazing on-screen chemistry with Priti Biswas.
The trailer has already received great feedback from the Bhojpuri audience.
‘Raja’ has been directed by Sanjay Shrivastava and produced by Mukesh Gupta. The music has been composed by Chhote Baba, with lyrics penned by Rajnesh Mishra, Sumit Singh Chandravanshi and Raja Yadav.
The movie also stars Diya Singh, Satya Prakash, Aryan Vaid, Sanjay Verma and Mukesh Gupta.
Mumbai: F.N. Souza’s Sewing Machine hangs in the hallway outside Tina Ambani’s office; along with Sudhir Patwardhan, Jayshree Burman and Bikash Bhattacharjee. Reliance Centre, this commercial establishment with its sheer glass walls and muted corporate tones, is crammed with art. “Some people think ‘oh, she’s just a rich housewife buying art’," Ambani says, embarrassed, adding that she knows people who seek the former actress in her, are disappointed. “The artist in me moved on to other arts." The Harmony Art Foundation’s annual show, curated by Gayatri Sinha this year and titled Fabular Bodies: New Narratives in the Art of the Miniature, opened on Friday at the Coomaraswamy Hall of the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya (formerly the Prince of Wales Museum), Mumbai. “Being an artist, you always have a close affinity to creativity. When I started the show, I wanted to do something to promote textiles. Bombay 15 years ago lacked an awareness of art. There was not so much disposable income. Artists were struggling. As an artist myself, I always wanted to provide a platform for them. It was a coming together of all these," she explains.
Why was there no Harmony Art Show last year (2010)?
I ask myself that all the time. Last year, Reliance was awarded the running of the Delhi Metro, and I was keen a budget be set aside for art. The Harmony Art Foundation had the vision of taking it to the next level; to install art for public viewing. The process of checking sites, transporting works, fittings, was quite time consuming. The pieces are quite large you see, 20ft by 60ft; and because these things are restricted by a budget, it’s not like we could acquire works for any amount. I really appreciate the artists contributing works at reasonable rates for this project. In retrospect, maybe I should have made an extra effort to make both happen.
Is enough being done to bring art into the public domain?
This year’s show seems smaller and you’ve skipped the artist showcase too. Why?
Post 26/11, we decided it was appropriate to be muted. I saw the attack on the Taj as an attack on our culture and heritage. Hence, that year, we did the miniature. To me it was a way of embracing our origins. Six hundred years ago, when Europe was doing large canvases, the Persians were bringing miniatures to India and we were expressing ourselves in fine detail. I’ve always been attracted to that. Since we didn’t have a show in 2010, this year we extended the metaphor and moved to contemporarise it. We thought let’s see how people react. We wanted artists evolved enough to take it forward. The Rietberg Museum in Switzerland is also currently showcasing a miniature art show, curated by Padmabhushan Dr Goswamy, our guest of honour.
Have to ask, there’s nothing miniature about Reliance, is there? All your canvases here are larger than life!
Well, a miniature may be small in size, but they have so much more detail, so much more story, so much more history and depth. In such a small space they say so much. So... (waves hands in air and shrugs). it’s not the size that matters.
You have Waswo Waswo, Orijit Sen and Pooja Iranna next to a Nilima Sheikh, Mithu Sen; aren’t they a varied mix? How do they string together?
I’m very excited by the mix this year. Anant Joshi has been a part of the Harmony show for years now. Iranna crosses mediums; painting, video installations, sculpture—there is so much available out there to an artist today. Honestly, five years ago, video as an art form didn’t excite me. Today, you see how art has changed and grown. I just loved Orijit Sen! To be able to take a comic strip to an art form in the miniature; stunning work; his detailing and his precision, it’s like a print. Anything is art if you have the eye for it and if it has that level of aesthetic and detail. These artists come together in the format of the miniature, but yes their expression is varied.
How much do you seek control over the show? Do you seek curatorial control?
I don’t have the knowledge to be a curator. It’s a very heavy-duty term and a very responsible position to hold. It involves academic expertise. My current curator Gayatri Sinha is someone I had not worked with before, so I didn’t want to cramp her style. I took care to step back and respect her for what she does. I ensured the show was in line with Harmony’s template, but you have to give her the space and freedom to express herself. I like to work with people who bring in newness to art. I’m learning all the time.
Is that what you also try to translate the show into? Divesting art of its snootiness as a domain of the elite?
Exactly. Art is something that can bring a very sensitive, humane touch into your life. We invite schools to bring kids to the show. We have an art historian at hand to explain it to them. I also try to ensure that the art we show is saleable. When I started the Harmony show, a lot of works wouldn’t sell. All the works are specially commissioned and I would feel so bad that four-five works sold and these didn’t, that I would buy them myself. That’s how I began to build my collection. The point of inviting an artist to the show is also to generate the revenue that allows him to go onto his next work. In those days, paints were imported as were brushes and canvases. The point is not merely to showcase the artist, but to support him comprehensively.
Tell me about your collaborations with museums?
We invite artists from all over the world for residencies. I am also on the board of the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Boston, that has a deep association with India. They also have the Chester Herwitz collection with over 150 works of our top artists. During the spice trade, Salem being a port, sailors would travel to Calcutta and bring back art with them over centuries, which the museum has acquired. You witness how the West is taking forward their art. I hope to translate what I learn from there in India.
You do have plans to start your own museum?
I do hope to. It is my passion and if I don’t achieve it in my lifetime, I hope my sons take it forward. Any museum I create will not merely be art; it will include everything that can be seen as art; to me vintage textile is art, a comb from ancient India is art, dance is art. I would like to create a space where art is comprehensive and available.
For the record, though, it’s Beauty she’s playing – at the Alexandra Theatre at the Regis Centre, Bognor, from Monday, December 12-Monday, January 2.
She’s done Snow White, Jack and the Beanstalk, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and also an earlier Beauty and the Beast stint, though this time as the Enchantress.
“I loved it, but I spent the whole time wishing I was playing Beauty, the principal girl role that I usually play. But I just loved it as a show, maybe because it is just a little bit different to the other classic panto titles.
“I love the fact that Beauty has got a bit more brain than some of the other girls in panto. She loves her books, and she has got some spirit to her.
Amy, who comes from Southend, decided at an early stage that showbiz was the career path for her.
“I did lots of amateur dramatics, and I probably started at school, to be honest.
“I did every single class I could take after school, and I did speech and drama festivals. Every single night after school I would be doing something to do with the performing arts.
“No one else in my family had done anything like that, but they were really supportive. They just believed that if you find something in life that you are passionate about, you have got to go for it.
“I was taking A levels and went to see the careers advisor. I was at a grammar school and was very academic. The careers teacher said ‘You should be going to Cambridge’, but my parents were very supportive of me not going to university. Thankfully they took the view that if there is something you really want to do, you have got to try to do it, and fortunately I got a full scholarship (at Performers College, in Essex, just off the M25 motorway).
In fact, this is her second time in Bognor this year. She was here earlier filming a new road safety film.
And she gave it her all.
“I had to be a victim in a car, and I was paralysed. My boyfriend was killed, literally in my lap. I had no voice by the end of the week I had been so hysterical.
Beauty and The Beast is at the Alexandra Theatre at the Regis Centre, Bognor, from Monday, December 12-Monday, January 2. Tickets on www.alexandratheatre.co.uk 01243 861010.
They came back stronger than ever.
Almost 100 people turned out for the first Wednesday night Bible study at Charleston's Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church since its pastor and eight other people were gunned down exactly a week ago at the South Carolina landmark.
"The room was immaculate. The feeling was spiritual and uplifting," a beaming Marlene Coakley-Jenkins, whose sister Myra Thompson was among last week's victims, said after the session.
"We know that everything that we did and everything that happened in that room just reverberated the love that we've been taught since we were children," Coakley-Jenkins said.
The room showed no indication that a crime had been committed there — except for squares cut out of the wood paneling that covers the walls of the room and the foyer. Some churchgoers told NBC News that investigators cut out the areas where the bullets struck.
In place of the Rev. Clementa Pinckney, the church's slain pastor, the study session was led by the Rev. Norvel Goff, presiding elder of the Edisto District of the state conference of the AME Church.
Attendees told NBC News he took them on a parable-filled tour from the Old Testament through the New Testament that left them simultaneously crying and rejoicing.
"Everyone just laughed," said another of Thompson's sisters, Claudette Coakley-Watkins, a Charleston schoolteacher. "It's been a beautiful gathering for all of us, and the love that's been pouring out — it's more than we could ask for.
"The love for one another was wonderful," she said.
Coakley-Jenkins, who lives in Fayetteville, North Carolina, acknowledged that she was "hurt" and "angry." But she said she and her sisters were determined not to give in to hatred — "that's not going to happen," she said.
"We can't allow hate to replace everything that our parents instilled into us," she declared.
"Love is always hard," she said. "Don't you know that?"

Steve Cook's close-range finish set the visitors on their way before Joshua King scored after a defensive mix-up.
Jordan Ayew reduced the deficit with a powerful shot beyond Artur Boruc.
Villa need to win their remaining five games to have any chance of staying up, but could be down before they play at Manchester United on 16 April.
The Birmingham side could be relegated on Sunday - for the first time in 29 years - if Sunderland beat league leaders Leicester.
Alternatively, Norwich, who are 17th in the Premier League table - 15 points clear of Villa - entertain fellow strugglers Sunderland at 12:45 BST on 16 April.
If the Canaries avoid defeat in that game, Villa will be relegated.
For 23 minutes on Saturday Villa were down before Jason Puncheon's 68th-minute winner for Crystal Palace against Norwich earned the Premier League's bottom club a temporary stay of execution.
Aston Villa scored their first goal in seven hours and 36 minutes - an unsuccessful challenge by Joshua King allowing Idrissa Gueye to set up Jordan Ayew.
Fans were in an unforgiving mood as the fractured relationship between home players and supporters continued.
There were thousands of empty seats at kick-off as some supporters chose to miss the first seven minutes in protest - seven being the number of times Villa have been champions of England.
Towards the end, other home fans were spotted waving white handkerchiefs - a sign of surrender - after another poor, careless performance.
Villa, who desperately needed a positive display to appease their disgruntled fans, set up to contain the Cherries yet were picked off at ease.
Villa gave a full Premier League debut to 20-year-old midfielder Jordan Lyden - though he lasted only 45 minutes before being replaced at the start of the second half.
By then the match was already as good as over for Villa following another performance in which they lacked leadership, character, fight and had only one shot on target.
In contrast, Bournemouth, who welcomed back forward Callum Wilson after a serious knee injury, were bright and breezy.
Lewis Grabban forced a full-length save from Brad Guzan before Cook's finish from a short corner on the stroke of half-time gave them the lead.
The Cherries doubled their lead when Ciaran Clark was robbed by King, who went on to finish smartly - and although Villa went on to score a first goal in over seven and a half hours, the visitors held on comfortably.
Bournemouth were tipped for relegation at the stat of the season yet they are challenging for a top-half finish after reaching 41 points with five games left.
Joshua King has hit form at a crucial stage of the season. Having netted in wins over Newcastle and Swansea, the former Manchester United youngster made it three in five games with a sublime finish after dispossessing Ciaran Clark.
Aston Villa caretaker manager Eric Black, speaking to BBC Sport: "Not going down today is a small consolation. We've conceded poor goals, but we have to remain professional until the end.
"We didn't create as many chances as we would have liked. Ultimately, if you concede poor goals it will be hard to score.
"I'm sure it's not easy to play in that atmosphere, but there have only been two or three victories here this season so I won't be criticising the supporters.
"They turned out again today, which I find remarkable. This is certainly not down to the supporters."
Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe, tells BBC Sport: "This was really important for us. It was very nervy from both teams but I thought we dominated the ball and deserved it in the end.
"It was a difficult game to play in because of the toxic atmosphere. We made it that way with the way we started."
Villa have made more errors leading to goals than any other side in the Premier League this season (14).
Steve Cook has scored four Premier League goals this season - the only defender with more is Scott Dann (5).
Joshua King has scored five times for Bournemouth this season - he managed just five league goals in three seasons in the Championship with Blackburn.
Jordan Ayew scored his first Premier League goal since December, ending a run of 10 games without scoring.
Villa's relegation will be confirmed if they fail to beat Manchester United at Old Trafford next Saturday - something they have not done since 2009.
