    Enhancing Regional Climate Projections with Deep Learning

    Global climate models play a vital role in predicting future climate conditions, such as temperature or precipitation. However, their coarse spatial resolution (typically 50–100 km) limits their ability to capture regional climate… Mehr

    Time Series Clustering for Smart Beehives

    Smart beehives collect sensor data that reflects developments of and events in the bee colony, such as hive growth, successful nectar collection and beekeeper interventions. None come with labels. Therefore, we use different… Mehr
