META-pipe - Pipeline Annotation, Analysis and Visualization of Marine Metagenomic Sequence Data [PDF]
The marine environment is one of the most important sources for microbial biodiversity on the planet. These microbes are drivers for many biogeochemical processes, and their enormous genetic potential is still not fully explored or exploited. Marine metagenomics (DNA shotgun sequencing), not only offers opportunities for studying structure and function

DIGIMON: Diagnosis and Mitigation of Sampling Skew for Reinforcement Learning based Meta-Planner in Robot Navigation [PDF]
Robot navigation is increasingly crucial across applications like delivery services and warehouse management. The integration of Reinforcement Learning (RL) with classical planning has given rise to meta-planners that combine the adaptability of RL with the explainable decision-making of classical planners.
