MaskSDM: Adaptive Species Distribution Modeling Through Data Masking

Devis Tuia, Nina Marion Aurélia Van Tiel, Robin Adrien Zbinden

Species distribution models (SDMs) correlate species occurrences with environmental conditions and underpin much of ecological research. A key consideration in developing SDMs is selecting the optimal set of environmental predictor variables, which vary de ...

Multi-Scale and Multimodal Species Distribution Modeling

Devis Tuia, Nina Marion Aurélia Van Tiel, Robin Adrien Zbinden, Benjamin Alexander Kellenberger

Species distribution models (SDMs) aim to predict the distribution of species by relating occurrence data with environmental variables. Recent applications of deep learning to SDMs have enabled new avenues, specifically the inclusion of spatial data (envir ...

Measuring and shaping the nutritional environment via food sales logs: case studies of campus-wide food choice and a call to action

Robin Adrien Zbinden, Robert West, Kristina Gligoric

Although diets influence health and the environment, measuring and changing nutrition is challenging. Traditional measurement methods face challenges, and designing and conducting behavior-changing interventions is conceptually and logistically complicated ...

On the selection and effectiveness of pseudo-absences for species distribution modeling with deep learning

Devis Tuia, Nina Marion Aurélia Van Tiel, Robin Adrien Zbinden, Benjamin Alexander Kellenberger, Lloyd Haydn Hughes

Species distribution modeling is a highly versatile tool for understanding the intricate relationship between environmental conditions and species occurrences. However, the available data often lacks information on confirmed species absence and is limited ...

Exploring neural networks and their potential for species distribution modeling

Devis Tuia, Nina Marion Aurélia Van Tiel, Robin Adrien Zbinden, Benjamin Alexander Kellenberger, Lloyd Haydn Hughes

Species distribution models (SDMs) relate species occurrence data with environmental variables and are used to understand and predict species distributions across landscapes. While some machine learning models have been adopted by the SDM community, recent ...

A User Study of Perceived Carbon Footprint

Patrick Thiran, Matthias Grossglauser, Lucas Maystre, Victor Kristof, Valentin Quelquejay-Leclère, Robin Adrien Zbinden

We propose a statistical model to understand people's perception of their carbon footprint. Driven by the observation that few people think of CO2 impact in absolute terms, we design a system to probe people's perception from simple pairwise comparisons of ...
