Young Americans for Liberty, the nation's leading youth libertarian organization, announced a free speech lawsuit against the University of Alabama in Huntsville Thursday aiming to strike down a policy that requires students to obtain speaking permits three days in advance of campus events. The Alliance Defending Freedom, which is representing the school's YAL chapter in the suit, is alleging that the policy violates Alabama's Campus Free Speech Act. "Alabama law is clear: Students don't need a permit from college officials to speak on campus, but that's exactly what the University of Alabama in Huntsville is doing -- violating the law and shutting down speech on campus," ADF counsel Michael Ross, who specializes in academic freedom, said in a statement.

Senior Technical Fellow PeopleTec, Inc. Huntsville, AL, USA ABSTRACT For predictive maintenance, we examine one of the largest public datasets for machine failures derived along with their corresponding precursors as error rates, historical part replacements and sensor inputs. To simplify the timeaccuracy comparisonbetween 27 different algorithms, we treat the imbalance between normal and failing states with nominal under-sampling. We identify 3 promising regression and discriminant algorithms with both higher accuracy (96%) and twenty-fold faster execution times than previous work. Because predictive maintenance success hinges on input features prior to prediction, we provide a methodology to rank-order feature importance and show that for this dataset, error counts prove more predictive than scheduled maintenance might imply solely based on more traditional factors such as machine age or last replacement times. INTRODUCTION Successful predictive maintenance is challenging not only because failures can prove multifactorial but also because maintenance forecasters often lack good training data.

Facebook has got big plans for a new $750 million data center in Huntsville, Alabama. On Thursday, the social networking giant announced it was building a new 970,000 square foot facility in Huntsville, a city in the northern part of the US state. "As a growing tech hub, Huntsville seemed like a natural fit for Facebook," the company wrote on a new Facebook post dedicated to the planned data center. "It also provides reliable access to renewable energy, strong local infrastructure, a great set of community partners, and very importantly, an outstanding pool of talent." A Facebook spokesperson confirmed to Business Insider that it is investing $750 million in the project.

This article contains an overview of recent and ongoing projects at Boeing's Huntsville Advanced Computing Group (ACG). In addition, it contains an overview of some of the work being conducted by Boeing's Advanced Civil Space Systems Group. One aspect of ACG's charter is to support the efforts of other groups at Boeing. Thus, AI is not considered a stand-alone field but, instead, is considered an area that can be used to find both long-and shortterm solutions for Boeing and its customers. All the projects listed here represent a team effort on the part of both ACG researchers and members of other Boeing organizations. Its goal was to act as a satellite laboratory for the Advanced Technology Center (now Computer Science) at the Seattle facility. It represented an effort to facilitate AI technology transfer from the Seattle laboratory to the Huntsville facilities. This satellite center was to support local Boeing organizations and their customers (primarily the National Aeronautics and ...
