Finding and saving the world's biggest trees before they disappear Wed 10 Jun 2026 at 4:30am Found on the island of Taiwan, "The Heaven Sword" is the tallest tree in East Asia. Measured at a whopping 84.1 metres tall, the 1000-year-old tree is five times the height of Queensland's Big Pineapple, and belongs to an ancient cypress species.

From flat moss to forests and flowers: Protein discovery may explain how plants conquered land

On Imbalanced Regression with Hoeffding Trees

arXiv:2602.22101v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Many real-world applications generate continuous data streams for regression. Hoeffding trees and their variants have a long-standing tradition due to their effectiveness, either alone or as base models in broader ensembles. Recent batch-learning work shows that kernel density estimation (KDE) improves smoothed predictions in imbalanced regression
