• Abstract: We present a forest fire firefighting simulation tool named FORFIS that is implemented in Python. Unlike other existing software, we focus on a user-friendly software interface with an easy-to-modify software engine. Our tool is published under GNU GPLv3 license and comes with a GUI as well as additional output functionality. The used wildfire model is based on the well-established approach by cellular automata in two variants - a rectangular and a hexagonal cell decomposition of the wildfire area. The model takes wind into account. In addition, our tool allows the user to easily include a customized firefighting strategy for the firefighting agents.

• Detecting Wildfires on UAVs with Real-time Segmentation Trained by Larger Teacher Models [0.0]
  Early detection of wildfires is essential to prevent large-scale fires resulting in extensive environmental, structural, and societal damage. Uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) can cover large remote areas effectively with quick deployment requiring minimal infrastructure. In remote areas, however, the UAVs are limited to on-board computing for detection due to the lack of high-bandwidth mobile networks. This study shows how small specialised segmentation models can be trained using only bounding box labels.

  Open-source large language models (LLMs), e.g., LLaMA, remain significantly limited in tool-use capabilities. We introduce ToolLLM, a general tool-usetuning encompassing data construction, model training, and evaluation. We first present ToolBench, an instruction-tuning framework for tool use, which is constructed automatically using ChatGPT.

  Language models (LMs) exhibit remarkable abilities to solve new tasks from just a few examples or textual instructions, especially at scale. We show that LMs can teach themselves to use external tools via simple APIs and achieve the best of both worlds. We introduce Toolformer, a model trained to decide which APIs to call, when to call them, what arguments to pass, and how to best incorporate the results into future token prediction.
