The sun continuously transmits trillions of watts of energy to the Earth. It will be doing so for billions more years. Yet, we have only just begun tapping into that abundant, renewable source of energy at affordable cost. Solar absorbers are a material used to convert this energy into heat … [continued]
“Interpretability methods” seek to shed light on how machine-learning models make predictions, but researchers say to proceed with caution.
Technique could reduce costs of battery development. Article courtesy of Argonne National Laboratory. By Jared Sagoff Imagine a psychic telling your parents, on the day you were born, how long you would live. A similar experience is possible for battery chemists who are using new computational models to calculate battery lifetimes … [continued]
Buzz Solutions is a successful cleantech startup that automates analysis of drone inspection images for the power industry on its platform-as-a-service.
The data volumes are staggering, the need to inspect them is increasing significantly, and there aren’t enough people to do the work. Enter Buzz Solutions. They save 50% of image assessment time today, and are trending to 80% of effort savings.
Users Can Now Leverage Python and Its Ecosystem To Customize EnergyPlus, Connect It to Building Equipment, Embed It Into Real-Time Applications, and More
Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have stumbled upon an interesting problem with machine learning and image classification. This problem, if not solved, could be harmless or could be deadly, depending on what the system is being used for. Simply put, a model could look at an image and … [continued]
To discover materials for better batteries, researchers must wade through a vast field of candidates. New research demonstrates a machine learning technique that could more quickly surface ones with the most desirable properties. The study could accelerate designs for solid-state batteries, a promising next-generation technology that has the potential to … [continued]
We Do Have A Lot Of Guesses About Consciousness This mystery of consciousness leaves a lot of room for guessing, and sometimes even educated guessing. Materialists think that we just need to study the brain harder and that we’ll figure out what consciousness is by reducing it to matter. Unlike … [continued]
Again — Garbage In, Garbage Out I feel like Marty McFly in Back to the Future when I see this stuff. “Wait, I’ve seen this one! This is a classic!” Just like every other whizbang computer science invention, it suffers from the same weakness that we’ve seen every other “AI” … [continued]
