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.

"V3Solar has developed a cone-shaped solar energy harvester that is claimed to generate over 20 times more electricity than a flat panel thanks to a combination of concentrating lenses, dynamic spin, conical shape, and advanced electronics."

This concept for a "soft-robotic rover with electrodynamic power scavenging" comes from Cornell University, and NASA has awarded it a grant under the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) program to hoist itself up from TRL 1 to TRL 2.

Japan has started construction of two floating solar power plants, which will become part of a huge, 60 megawatt floating renewable energy network.

The wisdom of crowds breaks down when people are biased. Now researchers have discovered a simple method of removing this bias-just listen to the most confident.

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.
