Carbon emissions from agricultural land use in China: spatio-temporal dynamics and pathways to neutrality by Xiongtian Shi, Zhenghao Zhou, Zhengyong Yu

“…Key findings include: (1) Significant regional disparities exist, with eastern provinces exhibiting high and increasing ALUCE levels, while western provinces remain low and stable, necessitating targeted regional strategies and technological support. (2) Total ALUCE in China decreased by 8.6%, highlighting the need to optimize high carbon emission sources for sustainable agriculture. (3) ALUCE inequality is stable yet slightly variable, driven by inter-provincial differences, with spatial polarization evident. (4) Agricultural production efficiency inhibits ALUCE, while output increases and labor scale positively contribute. …”

Integer linear programming for unsupervised training set selection in molecular machine learning by Matthieu Haeberle, Puck van Gerwen, Ruben Laplaza, Ksenia R Briling, Jan Weinreich, Friedrich Eisenbrand, Clémence Corminboeuf

“…We argue that the reason for the improved performance is due to the selection that is based on the notion of local similarity (i.e. per-atom) and a unique ILP approach that finds optimal solutions efficiently. Altogether, this work provides a practical algorithm to improve the performance of physics-inspired ML models and offers insights into the conceptual differences with existing training set selection approaches.…”
