Using scenario based stress testing to identify medium (2050) and long term (2100) sea level rise risks This project utilizes a scenario based qualitative stress testing approach to identify US coastal census tracts expected to adversely impacted by sea level rise (SLR) in the medium (2050) and long term (2100). One Baseline and two ‘plausible…
First of all, let’s define our hypoparameters. Like in many other metaheuristic algorithms, these variables should be adjusted on the way, and there is no versatile set of values. But let’s stick to these ones: POP_SIZE = 10 #population size MAX_ITER = 30 #the amount of optimization iterations w = 0.2 #inertia weight c1…

If you want to become a skilled data scientist, you should know how to understand and analyze data. And for this statistics is important.
However, learning statistics can feel difficult, especially if you’re not from a math or computer science background. But don't worry. We’ve compiled a list…
When LLMs give us outputs that reveal flaws in human society, can we choose to listen to what they tell us? Photo by Vince Fleming on UnsplashBy now, I’m sure most of you have heard the news about Google’s new LLM*, Gemini, generating pictures of racially diverse people in Nazi uniforms. This little news blip…

Learning a new skill can be daunting, especially when you’ve spent much of your time trying to find the right course, university degree or boot camp. Before you even get to that point of spending a penny, use the free resources available first. Feel it out, see if you like…
Point clouds serve as a prevalent representation of 3D data, with the extraction of point-wise features being crucial for various tasks related to 3D understanding. While deep learning methods have made significant strides in this domain, they often rely on large and diverse datasets to enhance feature learning, a strategy commonly employed in natural language…

Many developers and IT professionals who work in Fortune 500 companies use either a Linux distribution or MacOS. Why Linux? Because most servers run on Linux and provide a wide variety of tools that Windows 11 lacks. Also, if you are security and privacy-conscious, then moving to Linux is the…
The evolution of Vision Language Models (VLMs) towards general-purpose models relies on their ability to understand images and perform tasks via natural language instructions. However, it must be clarified if current VLMs truly grasp detailed object information in images. The analysis shows that their image understanding correlates strongly with zero-shot performance on vision language tasks.…
In robotics, natural language is an accessible interface for guiding robots, potentially empowering individuals with limited training to direct behaviors, express preferences, and offer feedback. Recent studies have underscored the inherent capabilities of large language models (LLMs), pre-trained on extensive internet data, in addressing various robotics tasks. These tasks range from devising action sequences based…
