The Application of a Multidisciplinary Framework for Optimizing the Monitoring System for Geological CO₂ Storage by Yngve Heggelund, Martha Lien, Danny Otto

“…From an operational point of view, monitoring will also provide data that can be used to optimize the injection schedule relative to the storage capacity and availability of CO₂ to minimize risks and long-term costs. Finally, monitoring is a crucial factor for the public perception of risks related to CO₂ storage, as surveys indicate that adequately designed monitoring can mitigate concerns. …”

Boycott Campaign Intensity on Consumer Boycott Intentions and Participation: The Role of Access to Substitute Products by Isalman Isalman, Ilyas Ilyas, Farhan Ramadhani Istianandar, Nurul Ittaqullah

“…While access to substitute prod ucts does not significantly moderate the relationship between boycott intention and partici pation, its availability positively impacts participation by reducing the personal costs asso ciated with the boycott. Boycott intention serves as the primary mediator between campaign intensity and participation, indicating that more intense campaigns foster greater intention to participate. …”

Building Text‐to‐Speech Models for Low‐Resourced Languages From Crowdsourced Data by Andrew Katumba, Sulaiman Kagumire, Joyce Nakatumba‐Nabende, John Quinn, Sudi Murindanyi

“…Despite these benefits, the full potential of TTS models is often not realized for the majority of low‐resourced African languages because they have traditionally required large amounts of high‐quality single‐speaker recordings, which are financially costly and time‐consuming to obtain. In this paper, we demonstrate that crowdsourced recordings can help overcome the lack of single‐speaker data by compensating with data from other speakers of similar intonation (how the voice rises and falls in speech). …”

Low-Shot Weakly Supervised Object Detection for Remote Sensing Images via Part Domination-Based Active Learning and Enhanced Fine-Tuning by Peng Liu, Boxue Huang, Tingting Jin, Hui Long

“…In low-shot weakly supervised object detection (LS-WSOD), a small number of strong (instance-level) labels are introduced to a weakly (image-level) annotated dataset, thus balancing annotation costs and model performance. To address issues in LS-WSOD in remote sensing images (RSIs) such as part domination, context confusion, class imbalance, and noise, we propose a novel active learning strategy and an enhanced fine-tuning mechanism. …”
