• Abstract summary: The risk of affecting the aquifers for public use is imminent in most cases. Geoelectric data (resistivity and IP), and surface methane measurements, are integrated and classified using an unsupervised Neural Network. A precise delimitation of the affected areas in the studied landfill was obtained, integrating the input variables via SOMs.

• Abstract: Leachates from garbage dumps can significantly compromise their surrounding area. Even if the distance between these and the populated areas could be considerable, the risk of affecting the aquifers for public use is imminent in most cases. For this reason, the delimitation and monitoring of the leachate plume are of significant importance. Geoelectric data (resistivity and IP), and surface methane measurements, are integrated and classified using an unsupervised Neural Network to identify possible risk zones in areas surrounding a landfill. The Neural Network used is a Kohonen type, which generates; as a result, Self-Organizing Classification Maps or SOM (Self-Organizing Map). Two graphic outputs were obtained from the training performed in which groups of neurons that presented a similar behaviour were selected. Contour maps corresponding to the location of these groups and the individual variables were generated to compare the classification obtained and the different anomalies associated with each of these variables. Two of the groups resulting from the classification are related to typical values of liquids percolated in the landfill for the parameters evaluated individually. In this way, a precise delimitation of the affected areas in the studied landfill was obtained, integrating the input variables via SOMs. The location of the study area is not detailed for confidentiality reasons.

• Combining Observational Data and Language for Species Range Estimation [63.65684199946094]
  We propose a novel approach combining millions of citizen science species observations with textual descriptions from Wikipedia. Our framework maps locations, species, and text descriptions into a common space, enabling zero-shot range estimation from textual descriptions. Our approach also acts as a strong prior when combined with observational data, resulting in more accurate range estimation with less data.

  We argue that multiple processes in natural sciences have to be represented as vector fields on the Wasserstein manifold of probability densities. In particular, this is crucial for personalized medicine where the development of diseases and their respective treatment response depends on the microenvironment of cells specific to each patient. We propose Meta Flow Matching (MFM), a practical approach to integrating along these vector fields on the Wasserstein manifold by amortizing the flow model over the initial populations.

DOKT consists of a traceback diversity indicator and a domain-based uncertainty estimator. Experiments conducted on ten datasets show that our model outperforms other state-of-the-art methods.

  This work is motivated by Ghanaian data available from the sixth Living Standard Survey (GLSS) and the 2010 Population and Housing Census. We compare areal-level random forests and LASSO approaches to a frequentist forward variable selection approach and a Bayesian shrinkage method. We find substantial between-area variation, the log consumption areal point estimates showing a 1.3-fold variation across the GAMA region.

  Given two aerial images, semantic change detection aims to locate the land-cover variations and identify their change types with pixel-wise boundaries. This problem is vital in many earth vision related tasks, such as precise urban planning and natural resource management. We present an asymmetric siamese network (ASN) to locate and identify semantic changes through feature pairs obtained from modules of widely different structures.
