The geometry of meaning: evaluating sentence embeddings from diverse transformer-based models for natural language inference by Mohammed Alsuhaibani

“…We conduct comprehensive experiments with different pooling techniques and evaluate the embeddings using different norms across multiple layers of each model. Our results demonstrate that the choice of pooling strategy, norm, and model layer significantly impacts the performance of NLI, with the best results achieved using max pooling and the L2 norm across specific model layers. …”

Pore‐Scale Modeling of Water and Ion Diffusion in Partially Saturated Clays by Yuankai Yang, Sergey V. Churakov, Ravi A. Patel, Nikolaos Prasianakis, Guido Deissmann, Dirk Bosbach, Jenna Poonoosamy

“…By using a mobility‐distance relationship from molecular simulations, Fick's law is numerically solved to simulate water diffusion in nanopores, while the coupled Poisson‐Boltzmann‐Nernst‐Planck equations are solved to simulate ion diffusion under the influence of the electrical double layer (EDL). Our model reveals that the decrease of relative effective diffusion coefficients during the desaturation is more pronounced for ions than for water, due to the additional transport pathway of water tracers in the gas phase. …”
