Recently, I shared an example of a work email on LinkedIn, sparking a flood of opinions on whether images belong in B2B emails. It turns out, the question of “to image or not to image” is a surprisingly divisive topic in B2B. Here’s the email in question for reference. While the names have been hidden to protect privacy, the situation still reflects a poor experience for everyone involved.

Imagine a world where AI agents handle many of your everyday tasks, freeing you up to focus on what truly matters — building relationships, making strategic decisions, and innovating. This isn’t a distant dream, though: It’s the reality we’re shaping in partnership with our customers at Salesforce. But the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) agents can only be realized if they’re trusted to act on someone’s behalf.

In deep learning, there are two very different ways to process input (like an image or a document). Typically, images are processed all at once, with the same kind of computation happening for every part of the image simultaneously. But researchers have usually assumed that you can’t do this for text data: that you need to process it the way people read text: word by word, from the beginning to the end, taking context into account as you go.

Today’s buyers expect more than generic outreach–they want relevant, personalized interactions that address their specific needs. For sales teams managing hundreds or thousands of prospects, however, delivering this level of personalization without automation is nearly impossible. The key is integrating AI in a way that enhances customer engagement rather than making it feel robotic.

Neural network architectures with memory and attention mechanisms exhibit certain reasoning capabilities required for question answering. One such architecture, the dynamic memory network (DMN), obtained high accuracy on a variety of language tasks. However, it was not shown whether the architecture achieves strong results for question answering when supporting facts are not marked during training or whether it could be applied to other modalities such as images.

Introduction Deep learning has significantly improved state-of-the-art performance for natural language processing tasks like machine translation, summarization, question answering, and text classification. Each of these tasks is typically studied with a specific metric, and performance is often measured on a set of standard benchmark datasets. This has led to the development of architectures designed specifically for those tasks and metrics, but it does not necessarily promote the emergence of

Cold calls are awful. They're inherently intrusive, naturally uncomfortable, and — according to a study from Cognism — unsuccessful roughly 95.2% of the time. With that said, that same study found that 49% of buyers actually prefer to be contacted through a cold call. That‘s why they’re still central to many orgs' sales processes. If they‘re already a staple of your day-to-day, you can’t bank on them becoming obsolete anytime soon.

When humans generate novel neural architectures, they go through a surprisingly large amount of trial and error. This holds true almost regardless of how much experience in deep learning that person might have! In an optimal world, the neural networks themselves would explore potential architectures and improve themselves over time. Without human intuition and insights however, automated architecture search is fraught with peril.

Deep reinforcement learning (deep RL) is a popular and successful family of methods for teaching computers tasks ranging from playing Go and Atari games to controlling industrial robots. But it is difficult to use a single neural network and conventional RL techniques to learn many different skills at once. Existing approaches usually treat the tasks independently or attempt to transfer knowledge between a pair of tasks, but this prevents full exploration of the underlying relationships between
