If you are at ECML/PKDD, check out Annie Lu's poster and talk!

English speakers can be grouped into first language and second language. Research focuses on biases towards regions with English as a second language. However there are significant biases among first language. This disadvantages underrepresented regions on downstream task performances.

Learn how to identify regional #bias in #languagemodels on Annie's poster (number 82) today (Wednesday) at 7:30pm, in her talk tomorrow (Thursday) at 11:40pm in Zeta 1 (session on Fairness, Equity, Justice & Safety), or in her paper, joint work with Katharina Dost and Yun Sing Koh:

Exciting News from the #AI and #freshwater Modelling project at the University of Auckland! 🎓

Master’s student Nicolas Samelson, supervised by Dr. Jörg Wicker and Dr. Katharina Dost, is breaking new ground in #environmentalmodeling. His thesis leverages #machinelearning to enhance process-based models, especially in scenarios with limited data.

Learn more about this pioneering work on our website!

enviPath was first published in 2016. Since then, we added heaps of functionality and updates, so we decided to summarize it all in an update paper. The preprint is now out, read it here!

enviPath now has three reviewed data sets, reaction links to EC numbers, we improved the prediction engine both in prediction performance and speed, we added a new holistic pathway-based evaluation, implemented a tailored applicability domain, and added heaps of additional technical improvements. You can test the improvements online at https://envipath.org.

Throwback Tuesday! The whole enviPath team was present at the International Conference on Chemistry and the Environment 2023 in Venice. We organized a workshop around the enviPath platform, featuring talks regarding databases, predictive models, and applications of enviPath.

Throwback Tuesday!

Throwback Tuesday! As part of the enviPath+ project, we aim to bring the enviPath platform to a new level. We held a scoping workshop in July to understand how to best meet the needs of our users and collaborators. We thank the participants for their valuable inputs!
