🌲 How do poverty, food insecurity, and weak administrative structures impact global reforestation? That is exactly what a new study led by #LMU geographer Wenkai Bao in collaboration with Julia Pongratz, professor of physical geography and land-use systems at LMU, has researched.
#LMUMunich
Climate protection: Where reforestation bears social risks
A new LMU study shows: Three-quarters of the estimated global potential for new forests to capture CO₂ is threatened by significant social and institutional challenges.

🔠 Some #AI language models have trouble spelling backwards. Is there now a solution to this? A research team with contributions from #LMU has developed a method that converts existing #LLMs into byte-level models without having to retrain them from scratch. #LMUMunich
Artificial Intelligence: Language models that see every letter
Most AI language models never see the individual letters of a word directly. A new method changes that by retrofitting existing models at a fraction of the usual training cost.
