Big news for Arboretica and Data-Driven EnviroLab! Our paper on #ChatNetZero has been accepted into the 62nd Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL 2024).🥳 In the paper submitted for the conference, an in-depth comparison-based analysis highlights the #ChatNetZero's true capabilities. #ChatNetZero, the first-ever AI tool aimed at demystifying climate pledges, employs innovative solutions, such as an anti-hallucination feature, to support #environmentalists. It ensures the reliability needed to harness the potential of Large Language Models (#LLMs) among environmental professionals. Presenting the paper at ACL is an incredible opportunity. #ACL2024 is one of the most prestigious conferences where influential Natural Language Processing (#NLP) and Computational Linguistics solutions are showcased. 📍 Take a look at our paper here: https://lnkd.in/dm5U4kQe 📍 Read more about the conference here: https://2024.aclweb.org/

We're excited to have Jiamian He (Hedy) joining Arboretica for the summer as a Data Science Intern!🙌 She is from China, and just finished her first Data Science study at Leiden University, which Hedy took to build on her knowledge she had previously gained from a Bachelor's in Environmental Science. After years of working as a management consultant, Jiamian is determined to re-explore the STEM fields and can't wait to gain hands-on research experience, practice data analysis, and use coding to identify solutions that help set humanity on a path for the better. When she's not busy exploring her passions in #sustainability and #AI4Good in academics, she enjoys trekking, traveling, bird watching, and reading in her free time. Welcome on board, Jiamian!😊

The third #WorldDiversityForum is kicking off today!🌏 Its theme calls for a more practical engagement of the sciences, having the slogan From Science to Action, and, accordingly, connects researchers interested in #biodiversity sciences. #Scientists in Davos, Switzerland are invited to connect with the latest perspectives in the biodiversity sciences that have what it takes to bring science-based environmental action to the next level. A multitude of workshops, training sessions, networking opportunities and excursions are available for participants, with an aim of backing the importance of the forum with interactivity and a modern atmosphere.🌱 📍Check out their website for details https://lnkd.in/eEWgc3FS #climateaction

Yesterday the #BonnClimateConference ended on terms that reflect well on this year's progress in the international spheres of #climateaction.🌏 It sets an interesting path to #COP29, which includes an anticipated focus on the Nationally Determined Contributions (#NDCs), an enhanced planning of financial support through the New Collective Quantified Goal on Climate Finance, and forward-looking planning on adaptation practices. Other positive aspects of the conference are that countries are required to prepare materials before #COP29 starts and stronger cooperation is gradually more emphasized, both of which make the discussions at the conference in November much more efficient.🌱 Check out more detailed information on the Bonn updates at https://lnkd.in/d6YQAAwx
