Antarctica's ice shelves modulate the grounded flow, and weakening of due to climate forcing will decrease their 'buttressing' effect, causing a response in ice. While processes governing ice-shelf are complex, uncertainties sheet also difficult assess. The Antarctic BUttressing Model Intercomparison Project (ABUMIP) compares ice-sheet model responses buttressing by investigating 'end-member' scenario total sustained loss shelves. Although unrealistic, this enables gauging sensitivity an...

Multi-modal large language models (MLLMs) have demonstrated remarkable success in vision and visual-language tasks within the natural image domain. Owing to significant domain gap between remote sensing (RS) images, development of MLLMs RS is still infant stage.

In this paper, we establish upper and lower bounds for some statistical estimation problems through concise information-theoretic arguments. Our bound analysis is based on a simple yet general inequality which call the information exponential inequality. We show that naturally leads to randomized method, performance can be obtained. The bounds, applicable all estimators, are obtained by original applications of well known inequalities, approximately match various important problems....
