This needs a version for the computational linguistics/machine-learning quartier of arXiv
I'm guessing at about 60% accurate in the string theory/supercollider / early time physics papers there, "better than a monkey" as the robot tells me

Climate change ruining AMOC.
"In scenarios where greenhouse gas emissions remain high, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) could completely collapse sometime after the year 2100. The AMOC, which includes the Gulf Stream, is one of the most important systems of ocean currents on Earth."

Weakening Gulf Stream System Could Unleash Global Chaos
Scientists warn that the Gulf Stream system could shut down after 2100, driving extreme winters, drying summers, and chaotic rainfall shifts.

PCHands: PCA-based Hand Pose Synergy Representation on Manipulators with N-DoF
We consider the problem of learning a common representation for dexterous manipulation across manipulators of different morphologies. To this end, we propose PCHands, a novel approach for extracting hand postural synergies from a large set of manipulators. We define a simplified and unified description format based on anchor positions for manipulators ranging from 2-finger grippers to 5-finger anthropomorphic hands. This enables learning a variable-length latent representation of the manipulato…

Summarizing Classed Region Maps with a Disk Choreme
Chorematic diagrams are highly reduced schematic maps of geospatial data and processes. They can visually summarize complex situations using only a few simple shapes (choremes) placed upon a simplified base map. Due to the extreme reduction of data in chorematic diagrams, they tend to be produced manually; few automated solutions exist. In this paper we consider the algorithmic problem of summarizing classed region maps, such as choropleth or land use maps, using a chorematic diagram with a sin…
