For language generation, AFAIK there is no good model that follows this architecture. For image generation, Generative Adversarial Networks are strong contenders. See for instance: https://github.com/Newmu/dcgan_code

Cities also consume a lot of energy which primarily produced from oil, coal and nuclear power that is extracted and transformed outside of cities. Even if a city would only consume wind and solar, it's quite likely that the majority of

The Pareto distribution has a parameter (alpha in the mathematical formulation used on Wikipedia). If the value of that parameter evolves over time that might demonstrate an evolution of economic inequality. But indeed access to credit and

5% unemployment does not mean that the majority is happy with their employment(s) or not stressed by it. GDP per capita is an average and does not reflect how the wealth is distributed.

I agree. I suppose that the vast majority of closed source DBs do not follow this shared nothing architecture either.

That would be interesting to investigate but you have to keep in mind that the centroids move between each iterations. So you have to re-build a new metric tree at each iteration. kd-tree / build time complexity are between `n log(n)`

I agree it's useful although there also exists a more scalable approximate variant of classical k-Means and the new Yinyang k-Means (referenced in the paper), namely Mini-batch k-Means: http://www.eecs.tufts.edu/~dscull

They don't speak about the angles (vertical windows vs horizontal roofs) and how much can this impact the energy efficiency in practice. Presumably it's good to have some vertical panels in a mix to produce energy in the late afte

Agreed. I think this thought was the starting point of the http://cascalog.org/ project (a high level clojure frontend for Hadoop MapReduce).

First that would require adapting the deep learning libraries (e.g. theano, torch and Caffe) to use it efficiently. Those libraries have optimal CUDA kernels for efficient GEMM, spatial pooling and FFT convolution operations that would need

While fitting the algorithm might not often benefit from partitioned data, I see two upsides from using spark for predictive modeling. First it makes it easy to do the feature extraction and model fitting in the same pipeline, hence make it
