  RT @MameFatouNiang: When Mary Shelley wrote #Frankenstein in 1818 (aged 19), neither Jules Verne, nor Welles were born yet (Allan Poe was 9).

  A teenage girl wrote what is still considered today the 1st science fiction novel. This article continues the long tradition of erasing her.

• PAW Climate Tech Conference
  There is a wealth of expertise, passion, and money pouring into climate tech as both startups and established industrial players seek to address one of the most important challenges facing humanity. Machine learning can be an important component in tech for addressing the climate crisis. Join PAW Climate to explore how companies apply machine learning to problems such as smart electrical grids, supply chain optimization, building energy efficiency, industrial control, precision agriculture, climate risk assessment, weather forecasting, ecosystem monitoring, and disaster response.

• Home | Open Climate Fix
  Open Climate Fix is a non-profit product lab, totally focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions as rapidly as possible. Every part of the organisation is designed to maximise climate impact, such as our open and collaborative approach, our rapid prototyping, and our attention on finding scalable & practical solutions.

  By using an open-source approach, we can draw upon a much larger pool of expertise than any individual company, so combining existing islands of knowledge and accelerating progress.

  Our approach is to search for ML (Machine Learning) problems where, if we solve a well-defined ML task, then there is likely to be a large climate impact. Then, for each of these challenges, we will:

  Collate & release data, and write software tools to make it super-easy for people to consume this data.
  Run a collaborative “global research project” where everyone from 16-year-olds to PhD students to corporate research labs can help solve the ML task.
  Help to put good solutions into production, once the community has developed them, so we can be reducing emissions ASAP.
