These genetic libraries plan for worse-case scenarios. An employee at the Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research in Germany shows off a specimen of frozen plant seeds from the institute's genebank. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Amid the 872-day siege of Leningrad in the early 1940s, nine people died protecting a library. This library was not for books, but for seeds collected from around the globe.

Starting with the Machine Learning Crash Course in February, Google has released a number of tools and resources for developers to learn and integrate artificial intelligence. Seedbank is the latest and a home to interactive ML examples that run in the web and can be quickly edited. Shared by the TensorFlow team on Friday, Seedbank is an online collection of various projects from Google -- named "Seeds" -- that showcase machine learning's various uses and capabilities. Discovering and getting started with Machine Learning can be daunting. Perhaps you have a vague project idea and are looking for a place to start and adapt from.

Discovering and getting started with Machine Learning can be daunting. Perhaps you have a vague project idea and are looking for a place to start and adapt from. Or you're looking for inspiration and want to get a sense of what's possible. Today we're launching Seedbank, a place to discover interactive machine learning examples which you can run from your browser, no set-up required. Each example is a little seed to inspire you that you can edit, extend, and grow into your own projects and ideas, from data analysis problems to art projects. Recently Google has been releasing many examples of Machine Learning code in the form of Colab notebooks.
