To What Extent Does Discounting ‘Hot’ Climate Models Improve the Predictive Skill of Climate Model Ensembles? by Abigail McDonnell, Adam Michael Bauer, Cristian Proistosescu

“…The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) Assessment Report Six (AR6) took a step toward ending so‐called ‘model democracy’ by discounting climate models that are too warm over the historical period (i.e., models that ‘run hot’) when making projections of global temperature change. …”

Precision autofocus in optical microscopy with liquid lenses controlled by deep reinforcement learning by Jing Zhang, Yong-feng Fu, Hao Shen, Quan Liu, Li-ning Sun, Li-guo Chen

“…Deep reinforcement learning is employed to learn the focusing strategy directly from captured images, achieving end-to-end autofocus. In contrast to methodologies that rely exclusively on sharpness assessment as a model’s labels or inputs, our approach involved the development of a targeted reward function, which has proven to markedly enhance the performance in microscope autofocus tasks. …”
