Climate change and other anthropogenic factors have led to a catastrophic decline in insects, endangering both biodiversity and the ecosyste… (see more)m services on which human society depends. Data on insect abundance, however, remains woefully inadequate. Camera traps, conventionally used for monitoring terrestrial vertebrates, are now being modified for insects, especially moths. We describe a complete, open-source machine learning-based software pipeline for automated monitoring of moths via camera traps, including object detection, moth/non-moth classification, fine-grained identification of moth species, and tracking individuals. We believe that our tools, which are already in use across three continents, represent the future of massively scalable data collection in entomology.
Methods, Applications, and Directions of Learning-to-Rank in NLP Research

Learning-to-rank (LTR) algorithms aim to order a set of items according to some criteria. They are at the core of applications such as web s… (see more)earch and social media recommendations, and are an area of rapidly increasing interest, with the rise of large language models (LLMs) and the widespread impact of these technologies on society. In this paper, we survey the diverse use cases of LTR methods in natural language processing (NLP) research, looking at previously under-studied aspects such as multilingualism in LTR applications and statistical significance testing for LTR problems. We also consider how large language models are changing the LTR landscape. This survey is aimed at NLP researchers and practitioners interested in understanding the formalisms and best practices regarding the application of LTR approaches in their research.
"One-Size-Fits-All"? Examining Expectations around What Constitute"Fair"or"Good"NLG System Behaviors

Fairness-related assumptions about what constitute appropriate NLG system behaviors range from invariance, where systems are expected to beh… (see more)ave identically for social groups, to adaptation, where behaviors should instead vary across them. To illuminate tensions around invariance and adaptation, we conduct five case studies, in which we perturb different types of identity-related language features (names, roles, locations, dialect, and style) in NLG system inputs. Through these cases studies, we examine people's expectations of system behaviors, and surface potential caveats of these contrasting yet commonly held assumptions. We find that motivations for adaptation include social norms, cultural differences, feature-specific information, and accommodation; in contrast, motivations for invariance include perspectives that favor prescriptivism, view adaptation as unnecessary or too difficult for NLG systems to do appropriately, and are wary of false assumptions. Our findings highlight open challenges around what constitute"fair"or"good"NLG system behaviors.

Reducing Two-Way Ranging Variance by Signal-Timing Optimization

Time-of-flight-based ranging among transceivers with different clocks requires protocols that accommodate varying rates of the clocks. Doubl… (see more)e-sided two-way ranging (DS-TWR) is widely adopted as a standard protocol due to its accuracy; however, the precision of DS-TWR has not been clearly addressed. In this paper, an analytical model of the variance of DS-TWR is derived as a function of the user-programmed response delays, which is then compared to the Cramer-Rao Lower Bound (CRLB). This is then used to formulate an optimization problem over the response delays in order to maximize the information gained from range measurements. The derived analytical variance model and optimized protocol are validated experimentally with 2 ranging UWB transceivers, where 29 million range measurements are collected.
