An Adaptive Deep Learning Framework for Day-ahead Forecasting of Photovoltaic Power Generation
Accurate forecasts of photovoltaic power generation (PVPG) are essential to optimize operations between energy supply and demand. Recently, the propagation of sensors and smart meters has produced an enormous volume of data, which supports the development of data based PVPG forecasting. Although emerging deep learning (DL) models, such as the long short-term memory (LSTM) model, based on historical data, have provided effective solutions for PVPG forecasting with great successes, these models utilize offline learning. As a result, DL models cannot take advantage of the opportunity to learn from newly-arrived data, and are unable to handle concept drift caused by installing extra PV units and unforeseen PV unit failures. Consequently, to improve day-ahead PVPG forecasting accuracy, as well as eliminate the impacts of concept drift, this paper proposes an adaptive LSTM (AD-LSTM) model, which is a DL framework that can not only acquire general knowledge from historical data, but also dynamically learn specific knowledge from newly-arrived data. A two-phase adaptive learning strategy (TP-ALS) is integrated into AD-LSTM, and a sliding window (SDWIN) algorithm is proposed, to detect concept drift in PV systems. Multiple datasets from PV systems are utilized to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed approaches. The developed AD-LSTM model demonstrates greater forecasting capability than the offline LSTM model, particularly in the presence of concept drift. Additionally, the proposed AD-LSTM model also achieves superior performance in terms of day-ahead PVPG forecasting compared to other traditional machine learning models and statistical models in the literature.
A spatiotemporal machine learning approach to forecasting COVID-19 incidence at the county level in the United States
Lucas, Benjamin, Vahedi, Behzad, Karimzadeh, Morteza
With COVID-19 affecting every country globally and changing everyday life, the ability to forecast the spread of the disease is more important than any previous epidemic. The conventional methods of disease-spread modeling, compartmental models, are based on the assumption of spatiotemporal homogeneity of the spread of the virus, which may cause forecasting to underperform, especially at high spatial resolutions. In this paper we approach the forecasting task with an alternative technique - spatiotemporal machine learning. We present COVID-LSTM, a data-driven model based on a Long Short-term Memory deep learning architecture for forecasting COVID-19 incidence at the county-level in the US. We use the weekly number of new positive cases as temporal input, and hand-engineered spatial features from Facebook movement and connectedness datasets to capture the spread of the disease in time and space. COVID-LSTM outperforms the COVID-19 Forecast Hub's Ensemble model (COVIDhub-ensemble) on our 17-week evaluation period, making it the first model to be more accurate than the COVIDhub-ensemble over one or more forecast periods. Over the 4-week forecast horizon, our model is on average 50 cases per county more accurate than the COVIDhub-ensemble. We highlight that the underutilization of data-driven forecasting of disease spread prior to COVID-19 is likely due to the lack of sufficient data available for previous diseases, in addition to the recent advances in machine learning methods for spatiotemporal forecasting. We discuss the impediments to the wider uptake of data-driven forecasting, and whether it is likely that more deep learning-based models will be used in the future.
Artificial Intelligence
Where is AI going to take us? Artificial Intelligence has always been a topic of great interest and discussion, ever since its inception. In ancient Greece, Egypt, and China, folks interested in mathematics and science dreamed of bringing inanimate objects to life and wondered if they could make these objects work for them. The idea of creating something similar to humans, something that could think and work like humans, would save them the trouble of doing many a tedious, repetitive task. However, over the past decade, the scope of Artificial Intelligence has widened. Today, AI is being applied to all fields globally, and it is taking over the conventional methods of work that we have been following for so long.

SpaceML Taps Satellite Images to Help Model Wildfire Risks
When freak lightning ignited massive wildfires across Northern California last year, it also sparked efforts from data scientists to improve predictions for blazes. One effort came from SpaceML, an initiative of the Frontier Development Lab, which is an AI research lab for NASA in partnership with the SETI Institute. Dedicated to open-source research, the SpaceML developer community is creating image recognition models to help advance the study of natural disaster risks, including wildfires. SpaceML uses accelerated computing on petabytes of data for the study of Earth and space sciences, with the goal of advancing projects for NASA researchers. It brings together data scientists and volunteer citizen scientists on projects that tap into the NASA Earth Observing System Data and Information System data.
Paradigm Shift in Natural Language Processing
Sun, Tianxiang, Liu, Xiangyang, Qiu, Xipeng, Huang, Xuanjing
In the era of deep learning, modeling for most NLP tasks has converged to several mainstream paradigms. For example, we usually adopt the sequence labeling paradigm to solve a bundle of tasks such as POS-tagging, NER, Chunking, and adopt the classification paradigm to solve tasks like sentiment analysis. With the rapid progress of pre-trained language models, recent years have observed a rising trend of Paradigm Shift, which is solving one NLP task by reformulating it as another one. Paradigm shift has achieved great success on many tasks, becoming a promising way to improve model performance. Moreover, some of these paradigms have shown great potential to unify a large number of NLP tasks, making it possible to build a single model to handle diverse tasks. In this paper, we review such phenomenon of paradigm shifts in recent years, highlighting several paradigms that have the potential to solve different NLP tasks.

Abstract-- Future Moon bases will likely be constructed using resources mined from the surface of the Moon. The difficulty of maintaining a human workforce on the Moon and communications lag with Earth means that mining will need to be conducted using collaborative robots with a high degree of autonomy. In this paper, we explore the utility of robotic vision towards addressing several major challenges in autonomous mining in the lunar environment: lack of satellite positioning systems, navigation in hazardous terrain, and delicate robot interactions. The competition provided a simulated lunar environment that exhibits the complexities alluded to above. This argues for a high degree of intelligence on each agent and a robust multi-robot The need to transport resources from Earth is a serious coordination system to ensure long-term operation. In-Situ Resource some of the key challenges towards autonomous robots Utilisation (ISRU), where resources are extracted on for collaborative space mining: lack of satellite positioning other astronomical objects and exploited to support longer systems, navigation in hazardous terrain, and the need for and deeper space missions, has been proposed as a way to delicate robot interactions.
