Abstract: A computational platform for generating solid catalysts for depolymerization reactions is described. The platform may include a first generative model to determine synthesizable crystal structures that could be used as solid catalysts for depolymerization. The first generative model may determine synthesizability and/or stability of solid catalysts. The first generative model may take in voxel representations of a crystal structure and then use a variational autoencoder to encode into latent space. The first generative model may also include a property learning component to determine synthesizable crystals in latent space. Candidate materials may then be identified in the latent space and then decoded into a blurred voxel representation. The blurred voxel representation may be transformed to a crystal structure. The platform may include a second generational model for identifying crystal surfaces and/or adsorption sites.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on a computer-readable storage medium for estimating the shape, size, and mass of fish are described. A pair of stereo cameras may be utilized to obtain right and left images of fish in a defined area. The right and left images may be processed, enhanced, and combined. Object detection may be used to detect and track a fish in images. A pose estimator may be used to determine key points and features of the detected fish. Based on the key points, a three-dimensional (3-D) model of the fish is generated that provides an estimate of the size and shape of the fish. A regression model or neural network model can be applied to the 3-D model to determine a likely weight of the fish.
