Ectomycorrhizal community composition, diversity, and their environmental drivers across common UK temperate woodlands by Ong, Wei Sern

“…While overall ECM richness/diversity was higher among the ancient semi-natural broadleaved habitats than the coniferous-dominant planted woodlands, coppicing and monoculture growth did not appear to reduce ECM richness when compared against their non-coppiced woodlands and mixed conifer woodlands counterparts. The main variables identified to influence ECM community composition (pH, vegetation species richness) were also different from the variables identified to influence ECM richness (vegetation proportions, fine root biomass). …”

Interpreting learned feedback patterns in large language models by Marks, L, Abdullah, A, Neo, C, Arike, R, Krueger, D, Torr, P, Barez, F

“…To test this, we train probes to estimate the feedback signal implicit in the activations of a fine-tuned LLM. We then compare these estimates to the true feedback, measuring how accurate the LFPs are to the fine-tuning feedback. …”

SimSC: a simple framework for semantic correspondence with temperature learning by Li, X, Han, K, Wan, X, Prisacariu, VA

“…We discover that when fine-tuning ImageNet pre-trained backbone on the semantic matching task, L2 normalization of the feature map, a standard procedure in feature matching, produces an overly smooth matching distribution and significantly hinders the fine-tuning process. …”

Field instrumentation for performance assessment of Geobarrier System by Rahardjo, Harianto, Qian, Zhai, Satyanaga, Alfrendo, Leong, Eng Choon, Wang, Chien Looi, Wong, Johnny Liang Heng

“…The saturated hydraulic conductivity of a coarse-grained material is normally higher than that of a fine-grained material. However, the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity of the coarse-grained material decreases much faster than that of the fine-grained material with increasing matric suction and consequently the coarse-grained material can be less permeable than the fine-grained material in unsaturated condition. …”

Unveiling the facade of blog posts to reveal subjective well-being : an exploratory study. by Ou, Zhiqi., Tan, Justine Yi Ting., Tan, Jessie Zi Xi.

“…In this exploratory study to form a bridge between existing methods to gauge the well-being of people and the usage of social media as a data source, we find that there are substantial links between the subjective and objective well-being of people and the feelings expressed by people in blogs. Our two main findings demonstrate that eight out of 11 of the regressions involving the objective ranking as the main independent variable show the objective ranking having the correct expected sign at at least the 10% significance level. …”
