Evaluating species richness, turnover, and range shifts under climate change for fluvial fishes in Northeastern and Midwestern USA by Hao Yu, Dana M. Infante, Arthur R. Cooper, Jared A. Ross

“…Using boosted regression tree models, we predicted distributions of fishes at a stream reach scale using four contemporary climate variables including annual mean air temperature, annual precipitation, and variation in monthly air temperature and precipitation along with seven natural landscape and anthropogenic stressor variables. We then used projected values from eight general circulation models (GCMs) during 2041–2080 to evaluate potential patterns in species richness, turnover, and range shifts under climate change across the study region. …”

Sign-Entropy Regularization for Personalized Federated Learning by Koffka Khan

“…Motivated by Descartes’ Rule of Signs, we hypothesize that frequent sign changes in gradient trajectories reflect complexity in the local loss landscape. By minimizing the entropy of gradient sign patterns during local updates, SER encourages smoother optimization paths, improves convergence stability, and enhances personalization. …”
