The new wrinkle here is that Google machine learning AI was employed
to help with these newest discoveries.


Machine learning was used to search a much larger number of signals
through Kepler data than humans could in the same amount of time.

Given results from Kepler-90, there are probably more discoveries extant
in the Kepler data. Assuming there is funding available to provide the
computer time. A good candidate for BOINC?

All code in Google in TensorFlow will be released soon.
