Robust XGBoosting for Regression
Iris Aragón Mladosich, Christophe Croux
XGBoost is a very popular and powerful method for prediction. It iteratively fits simple decision trees to the residuals of the previous step. An efficient and scalable implementat…
A Category-Theoretic Framework from Biological Mechanics to Engineered Stimulus-Response Systems
Lee Marom, Skylar Tibbits, Gioele Zardini +1
Natural materials achieve adaptive behavior through hierarchical organization and coupled mechanisms across scales. Their translation into engineering, however, remains largely heu…
Utilizing a Geospatial Foundation Model for Coastline Delineation in Small Sandy Islands
Tishya Chhabra, Manisha Bajpai, Walter Zesk +1
We present an initial evaluation of NASA and IBM's Prithvi-EO-2.0 geospatial foundation model on shoreline delineation of small sandy islands using satellite images. We curated and…
Multi-level mechanical modeling and computational design framework for weft knitted fabrics
Cosima du Pasquier, Sehui Jeong, Pan Liu +5
This work presents a multi-level modeling and design framework for weft knitted fabrics, beginning with a volumetric finite element analysis capturing their mechanical behavior fro…
Architected Dual-Network Solvent-free Adhesives for Stretchable Fabrics
Gabriela Moreira Lana, Cornelia Meissner, Siddhant Iyer +4
Natural systems, such as tendons and spider silk, demonstrate how the combination of strength and stretchability can be effectively achieved by integrating stiff and flexible netwo…
