Heterogeneities in landed costs of traded grains and oilseeds contribute to unequal access to food by Verschuur, J, Vittis, Y, Obersteiner, M, Hall, JW

“…Here we quantify the landed cost for six grain commodities across 3,500 administrative regions, capturing regional cost differences to produce grain and transport it across international borders. We find large heterogeneities in the costs of imported grain, which are highest in Oceania, Central America and landlocked Africa. …”

TIM: a time interval machine for audio-visual action recognition by Chalk, J, Huh, J, Kazakos, E, Zisserman, A, Damen, D

“…<p>Diverse actions give rise to rich audio-visual signals in long videos. Recent works showcase that the two modalities of audio and video exhibit different temporal extents of events and distinct labels. …”

Generative pretrained autoregressive transformer graph neural network applied to the analysis and discovery of novel proteins by Buehler, Markus J

“…The model is formulated as a general framework, completely prompt-based, and can be adapted for a variety of downstream tasks. We find that adding additional tasks yields emergent synergies that the model exploits in improving overall performance, beyond what would be possible by training a model on each dataset alone. …”
