Using TLS-measured Tree Attributes to Estimate the Above Ground Biomass of Individual Small Black Spruce Trees in Canadian Boreal Forest Peatlands
DownloadFall 2021
Earth’s changing climate poses a number of potential issues for people around the globe. It has become increasingly important for researchers to have the ability to collect good data and build accurate, robust climate models that can help influence the direction of policy makers to mitigate the...

Distinguishing between homonymy and polysemy can facilitate Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD), as WSD systems use the standard sense inventories that are excessively fine-grained and include many polysemous senses. We classify words as either homonymous or polysemous by building graphs of word...
