The exploration of early evolutionary processes, particularly focusing on archaea, provides valuable insights into the beginnings of life on Earth. Archaea, one of the three domains of life, have sign...
Current autonomous AI agents, driven primarily by Large Language Models (LLMs), operate in a state of cognitive weightlessness: they process information without an intrinsic sense of network topology,...
The Gulf of California sustains important fisheries, including those targeting spiny lobsters. Despite their economic importance, little is known about the interactions with their parasites, which pla...
Crop yield prediction requires substantial data to train scalable models. However, creating yield prediction datasets is constrained by high acquisition costs, heterogeneous data quality, and data pri...
Environmental contamination by current-use pesticides (CUPs) has become a global concern due to their widespread use. However, very few studies have examined the spatiotemporal dynamics and multiclass...
Accurate 3D understanding of human hands and objects during manipulation remains a significant challenge for egocentric computer vision. Existing hand-object interaction datasets are predominantly cap...
This paper introduces a new hybrid framework that combines Reinforcement Learning (RL) and Large Language Models (LLMs) to improve robotic manipulation tasks. By utilizing RL for accurate low-level co...
Urbanization is rapidly expanding along the world's coasts, transforming natural ecosystems into increasingly uniform artificial environments. Yet, the patterns and processes shaping marine biodiversi...
We propose a cross-fitted debiasing device for policy learning from offline data. A key consequence of the resulting learning principle is $\sqrt N$ regret even for policy classes with complexity grea...
Human talkers often address listeners with language-comprehension challenges, such as hard-of-hearing or non-native adults, by globally slowing down their speech. However, it remains unclear whether t...
Emerging deployments of Generative AI increasingly execute inference across decentralized and heterogeneous edge devices rather than on a single trusted server. In such environments, a single device f...
Reconstruction of sea surface temperature is critical for marine monitoring, yet conventional edge devices based on complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology suffer from memory-wall bo...
Robotic mapping systems typically approach building metric-semantic scene representations from the robot's own sensors and cameras. However, these "first person" maps inherit the robot's own limitatio...
In many institutional settings, $k$ items are selected with the goal of representing the underlying distribution of claims, opinions, or characteristics in a large population. We study environments wi...
Macroecological patterns of life history traits, such as larval size, are fundamental to understanding the biogeography and diversity of marine invertebrates. The long-established Thorson's Rule hypot...
The Gulf of Mexico/Gulf of America provides ecosystem services derived from marine biodiversity and oil and gas resources. Threats posed by unintended releases of oil and gas can be attenuated by micr...
