An abundant fruiting of a black morel was encountered in temperate northwestern New South Wales (NSW), Australia, during a mycological survey in Sep 2010. The site was west of the Great Dividing Range in a young, dry sclerophyll forest dominated by Eucalyptus and Callitris north of Coonabarabran in an area...
Deep neural networks currently comprise the backbone of many applications where safety is a critical concern, for example: autonomous driving and medical diagnostics. Unfortunately these systems currently fail to detect out-of-distribution (OOD) inputs and can be prone to making dangerous errors when exposed to them. In addition, these same systems...
The ability to extract uncertainties from predictions is crucial for the adoption of deep learning systems to safety-critical applications. Uncertainty estimates can be used as a failure signal, which is necessary for automating complex tasks where safety is a concern. Furthermore, current deep learning systems do not provide uncertainty estimates,...
This dissertation delves into understanding, characterizing, and addressing dataset shift in deep learning, a pervasive issue for deployed machine learning systems. Integral aspects of the problem are examined: We start with the use of counterfactual explanations in order to characterize the behavior of deep reinforcement learning agents in visual input...
BACKGROUND: As it becomes increasingly possible to obtain DNA sequences of orthologous genes from diverse sets
of taxa, species trees are frequently being inferred from multilocus data. However, the behavior of many methods for
performing this inference has remained largely unexplored. Some methods have been proven to be consistent given...

Conifers comprise an ancient and widespread plant lineage of enormous commercial and ecological value. However, compared to model woody angiosperms, such as Populus and Eucalyptus, our understanding of conifers remains quite limited at a genomic level. Large genome sizes (10,000–40,000 Mbp) and large amounts of repetitive DNA have limited efforts...
