When is a forest a forest? Forest concepts and definitions in the era of forest and landscape restoration [PDF]

open access: yesAmbio, 2016
We present a historical overview of forest concepts and definitions, linking these changes with distinct perspectives and management objectives. Policies dealing with a broad range of forest issues are often based on definitions created for the purpose of assessing global forest stocks, which do not distinguish between natural and planted forests or ...

The fertilized forests Decision Forest Library [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 23rd ACM international conference on Multimedia, 2015
Since the introduction of Random Forests in the 80's they have been a frequently used statistical tool for a variety of machine learning tasks. Many different training algorithms and model adaptions demonstrate the versatility of the forests. This variety resulted in a fragmentation of research and code, since each adaption requires its own algorithms ...

Opinion: Can uncertainty in climate sensitivity be narrowed further? [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics
After many years with little change in community views on equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS), in 2021 the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded that it was much better known than previously. This development underpinned increased

Deep forest [PDF]

open access: yesNational Science Review, 2018
AbstractCurrent deep-learning models are mostly built upon neural networks, i.e. multiple layers of parameterized differentiable non-linear modules that can be trained by backpropagation. In this paper, we explore the possibility of building deep models based on non-differentiable modules such as decision trees.

Homogenization methods and mechanics of generalized continua - part 2 [PDF]

open access: yesTheoretical and Applied Mechanics, 2002
The need for generalized continua arises in several areas of the mechanics of heterogeneous materials, especially in homogenization theory. A generalized homogeneous substitution medium is necessary at the global level when the structure made of a ...
