monitoring sea level rise using GPS data

PD's article presented to the idea storm: "They find the data can best be explained using a model that says an individual can join a team if she/he can bring some new, complementary skills to the group. This interpretation goes against the idea that an individual will tend to mainly join-and remain comfortable in-groups of "like-minded" people."

nice article according to the abstract but can't download the paper (can we from within ESA? do you have it already downloaded - would be interested in reading the full paper - can we apply this to behaviour and size of the ACT?

Yes it is available within ESA's network - I have it anyway

By pulling raw data from the news and plotting it onto a graph, Sean Gourley and his team have come up with a stunning conclusion about the nature of modern war -- and perhaps a model for resolving conflicts. - really interesting

The Web Developer's Resource

Great idea! Isn't it at the opposite of the web 2.0, where machine tends to be only clients and all the data centralized in big servers? I like more this approach of each individuals dealing with their own data, you have more control on what you want to share or not!

From the statistical analysis of nucleosome positioning data for chromosome III of S. cerevisiae, we demonstrate that long-range correlations (LRC) in the genomic sequence strongly influence the organization of nucleosomes.

Alternative data distributing concept

Jere Jenkins and pals at Purdue University in Indiana have re-analysed the raw data from these experiments and say that the modulations are synchronised with each other and with Earth's distance from the sun. (Both groups, in acts of selfless dedication,

Excellent visualization tool for scientific data. Only for Mac Os X.

very nice way to present global data ...

Optar stands for OPTical ARchiver. It's a codec for encoding data on paper. A proposal for fighting the digital obsolescence: Digital obsolescence is a situation where a digital resource is no longer readable because the physical media, the reader require

"Flights into space are limited," said University of Central Florida Associate Professor Joshua Colwell. "This is an excellent opportunity to gather additional data that can only be obtained from these kinds of flights and which is essential for our research to move forward." --> the same was mentioned a few times during the NEOMeX workshop...

smart!

"The BICEP2 data would eliminate about 90% of inflationary models, Andrei Linde, a cosmologist at Stanford University in California, told a packed auditorium at MIT the day after the BICEP2 announcement (see picture below). Many of those models do not produce gravitational waves at detectable levels, said Linde, who is one of the founders of inflation theory." Is there any hope for LISA now?

Of course - the data is more proof that GWs exist!!

so you don't expect any impact on the science objectives of Lisa at all?

Responding to calls from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), a working group of the American Statistical Association has developed a whitepaper detailing how statisticians and computer scientists can contribute to administration research initiatives and priorities. The whitepaper includes a lot of topics central to machine learning and data mining, so please take a look.

I guess Norvig is trumping Chomsky big time if this is the attitude of the NSF :)))

Another Appathon with the aim to allow access to vast amounts of 'space data' and then play around.. In other words, a neural network's guy wet dream, so Paul, what are you waiting for?

I'm not really an app developer :P But I'll think about it

TensorFlow is an open source software library for numerical computation using data flow graphs. Nodes in the graph represent mathematical operations, while the graph edges represent the multidimensional data arrays (tensors) communicated between them. The flexible architecture allows you to deploy computation to one or more CPUs or GPUs in a desktop, server, or mobile device with a single API. TensorFlow was originally developed by researchers and engineers working on the Google Brain Team within Google's Machine Intelligence research organization for the purposes of conducting machine learning and deep neural networks research, but the system is general enough to be applicable in a wide variety of other domains as well.

And the interface even looks a bit less retarded than theano
