The substantial increase in AI model training has considerable environmental implications, mandating more energy-efficient and sustainable AI practices. On the one hand, data-centric approaches show great potential towards training…
Modeling environmental ecosystems is essential for effective resource management, sustainable development, and understanding complex ecological processes. However, traditional data-driven methods face challenges in capturing inherently…
Spatial models for occupancy data are used to estimate and map the true presence of a species, which may depend on biotic and abiotic factors as well as spatial autocorrelation. Traditionally researchers have accounted for spatial…
The rapid proliferation of latency-sensitive and battery-constrained Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications has intensified the need for intelligent workload placement mechanisms across the Edge-Cloud computing continuum. In such…
Qualitative research often involves labor-intensive processes that are difficult to scale while preserving analytical depth. This paper introduces The AI Co-Ethnographer (AICoE), a novel end-to-end pipeline developed for qualitative…
Constraint-based causal discovery is widely used for learning causal structures, but heavy reliance on conditional independence (CI) testing makes it computationally expensive in high-dimensional settings. To mitigate this limitation, many…
Data mining reproduces colonialism, and Indigenous voices are being left out of the development of technology that relies on data, such as artificial intelligence. This research stresses the need for the inclusion of Indigenous Data…
Technologies related to the Internet of Things (IoT) have seen remarkable growth in recent years. This has facilitated, among many other reasons, that monitoring systems have spread in many everyday areas, including both industry and the…
With the rise of intelligent Internet of Things (IoT) systems in urban environments, new opportunities are emerging to enhance real-time environmental monitoring. While most studies focus either on IoT-based air quality sensing or…
In a decentralized household energy system consisting of various devices such as washing machines, heat pumps, and solar panels, understanding the electric energy consumption and production data at the granularity of the device helps…
We examine a network of learners which address the same classification task but must learn from different data sets. The learners cannot share data but instead share their models. Models are shared only one time so as to preserve the…
Effective peer feedback is essential for developing critical reflection in higher education, yet its impact is often limited by the inconsistent quality of student-generated comments. This paper presents the implementation and deployment of…
Land-use regression (LUR) models are important for the assessment of air pollution concentrations in areas without measurement stations. While many such models exist, they often use manually constructed features based on restricted, locally…
Reinforcement learning algorithms require a large amount of samples; this often limits their real-world applications on even simple tasks. Such a challenge is more outstanding in multi-agent tasks, as each step of operation is more costly…
This paper provides an assessment of experiences and understanding of digital technologies from within an African place. It provides philosophical reflections upon the introduction and existence - appropriation - of digital technologies.…
The retirement of unabated coal power plants, the plummeting cost of renewable energy technologies, along with more aggressive public policies and regulatory reforms, are occurring at an unprecedented speed to decarbonize the power and…
This paper presents a first empirical study of agentic AI as autonomous decision-makers in decentralized governance. Using more than 3K proposals from major protocols, we build an agentic AI voter that interprets proposal contexts,…
