A comparison of valuation methods for cultural ecosystem services in support of ecosystem accounting [PDF]

One Ecosystem
Assigning an economic value to cultural ecosystem services is important to promote their sustainable and rational use. Valuation of such services requires a non-market approach as they are not traded on markets and, thus, have no directly observable ...

StackingNet: Collective Inference Across Independent AI Foundation Models

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence (AI) built on large foundation models has transformed language understanding, computer vision, and reasoning, yet these systems remain isolated and cannot readily share their capabilities. Coordinating the complementary strengths of independently developed, black‐box foundation models is essential for trustworthy ...
