"Cooling in a warming world: the role of near term climate forcers"
In a warming climate due to the increasing abundance of greenhouse gases, it is important to acknowledge and study other potentially competing climate drivers, such as Near Term Climate Forcers (NTCFs). These are atmospheric ...
Biodiversity horizons: towards a framework for predicting climate risks to biodiversity at actionable timescales
Climate change is increasingly exposing biodiversity to harmful temperatures, resulting in range shifts, die-offs, and population declines. However, most biodiversity projections focus on a few specific time points, typically ...
Mixed position neural networks with second order Taylor for the bit assignment
In this work, we present an innovative approach for neural network quantization using second-order Taylor approximations of the loss function to predict quantization error. Specifically, we calculate the Hessian of the ...
SORS: machine learning in systems biology: now and next
For decades, bioinformatics has been concerned with gaining new knowledge from large data sets in the life sciences. Machine learning, often referred to as artificial intelligence, has enabled breakthroughs in bioinformatics ...
SORS/WomenInBSC: artificial intelligence - discriminating or including?
This talk provides a brief outlook on the future of AI based on current developments. It sheds light on the role of diversity in AI research and development and how AI systems become discriminating. The types of bias will ...
Machine learning-accelerated predictions of design allowable of composite laminates
The generation of design allowables for composite laminates is crucial for aerospace composite structure design and certification. Typically, determining these design allowables involves costly and time-intensive experimental ...
Detecting and attributing climate change-driven shifts in terrestrial ecosystem vegetation activity
Climate change is disrupting the normal functioning of Earth's systems. However, detecting changes in vegetation dynamics and structure, and attributing them to human-induced climate change, has proved difficult. Collins ...
AI, supercomputers, art: tying it all together
Generative Models are powerful tools for artists and designers. With the emergence of diffusion models, prompting has become the de facto standard of interacting with such tools. However, when it comes to discovering new ...
OceanPrediction Decade Collaborative Center: promoting ocean forecasting in the framework of the decade
The OceanPrediction Decade Collaborative Centre (OceanPrediction DCC), hosted by Mercator Ocean International, is a cross-cutting structure working at the global scale to promote collaboration between Decade Actions and ...
Educación superior transfronteriza: problemas e implicaciones referentes a la garantía de la calidad y a la acreditación
El crecimiento exponencial de la movilidad de estudiantes, programas y proveedores más allá de las fronteras nos ofrece nuevas oportunidades de incrementar el acceso a la educación superior, pero también plantea nuevos ...
Structure-Based Genome Editing (SBGE) guided by genome spatial auto-correlation analysis
During the talk, I will introduce Structure-Based Genome Editing and its application to the identification of sex-determining 3D regulatory hubs. Mammalian sex is determined by opposing networks of ovarian and testicular ...
Random walk with restart on multilayer networks: from node prioritisation to supervised link prediction and beyond
Biological networks have proven invaluable ability for representing biological knowledge. Multilayer networks, which gather different types of nodes and edges in multiplex, heterogeneous and bipartite networks, provide a ...
Computational challenges of the LISA mission
LISA, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, will be the first space mission ever to survey the Universe by detecting low-frequency gravitational waves. LISA is a space mission led by the European Space Agency (ESA) ...
The democratic governance of cyberspace
Consider cyberspace as a shared resource, a common good. The democratic governance of cyberspace is a crucial task that involves addressing challenges related to oversight, human rights protection, the responsible use of ...
The Framework Convention on artificial intelligence and human rights, democracy and the rule of law from the Council of Europe
The Committee of AI from the Council of Europe approved on 14 March 2024 a draft for a legally binding instrument on the development, design and application of AI systems based on the Council’s standards on human rights, ...
Multilayer modeling and analysis of complex biological systems
Complex systems are characterized by constituents -- from neurons in the brain to individuals in a social network -- which exhibit special structural organization and nonlinear dynamics. As a consequence, a complex system ...
Open science, FAIR Science: from strategies to implementation
Open science is being encouraged across disciplines and throughout the world, from the UNESCO recommendations to the Strategic Plan for Catalunya. But, beyond plans, guidance, and policies, what do we mean by open science? ...
Sex and gender differences in dementia and alzheimer's disease
The lecture will cover 1) The epidemiology of dementia with a focus on sex differences in the prevalence and incidence; 2) Potential factors contributing to these differences, and the evidence to date on sex and gender ...
Helping applications manage on-node resources on modern systems
Scientific discovery is increasingly enabled by heterogeneous hardware that includes multiple processor types, deep memory hierarchies, and heterogeneous memories. To effectively utilize this hardware, computational ...
Dynamic topography inferred from global continental hiatus surfaces as a tool for constraining global mantle circulation models
Mantle convection is a fundamental process governing the evolution of our planet. Buoyancies in the mantle induce horizontal and vertical motion of the Earth’s lithosphere which leave an imprint on the geological record. ...
