A foundation model for geospatial inference

The relationships between a population of people, their health outcomes, and their local contexts can be very complex. Nevertheless, developing an understanding of these population dynamics can be crucial for addressing complex social problems, such as disease, economic security, disaster response, and much more. Despite the importance, however, accurate predictions for these population dynamics have […]

Can algorithms make tournament cheating obsolete?

Our work proposes a different rule that slightly, but still not optimally, reduces the potential gains from manipulation. The theoretical rule we propose identifies a small set of teams as “significant”, which we define as teams that could form coalitions that lead to a team in the coalition being the clear winner. We classify each

Mapping the ionosphere with the power of Android

The ionosphere is a swirling sea of charged particles that lies in Earth’s upper atmosphere. The ions accumulate when solar radiation collides with atmospheric gas molecules, knocking off some of their electrons. Variations in the free electron density across the ionosphere are one of the largest sources of error in satellite navigation systems such as

Towards a unified model for predicting human responses to diverse visual content

Human attention is intricately linked with and shapes decision-making behavior, such as subjective preferences and ratings. Yet prior research has often studied these in isolation. For example, there’s a large body of work on predictive models of human attention, which are known to be useful for various applications, ranging from reducing visual distraction to optimizing

A return to hand-written notes by learning to read & write

Digital note-taking is gaining popularity, offering a durable, editable, and easily indexable way of storing notes in a vectorized form. However, a substantial gap remains between digital note-taking and traditional pen-and-paper note-taking, a practice still favored by a majority of people. Bridging this gap by converting a note taker’s physical writing into a digital form
