Gabriel Huerta","doi":"arxiv-2408.13392","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/arxiv-2408.13392","url":null,"abstract":"The June 1991 Mt. Pinatubo eruption resulted in a massive increase of sulfate\u0000aerosols in the atmosphere, absorbing radiation and leading to global changes\u0000in surface and stratospheric temperatures. A volcanic eruption of this\u0000magnitude serves as a natural analog for stratospheric aerosol injection, a\u0000proposed solar radiation modification method to combat the warming climate. The\u0000impacts of such an event are multifaceted and region-specific. Our goal is to\u0000characterize the multivariate and dynamic nature of the climate impacts\u0000following the Mt. Pinatubo eruption. We developed a multivariate space-time\u0000dynamic linear model to understand the full extent of the spatially- and\u0000temporally-varying impacts. Specifically, spatial variation is modeled using a\u0000flexible set of basis functions for which the basis coefficients are allowed to\u0000vary in time through a vector autoregressive (VAR) structure. This novel model\u0000is caste in a Dynamic Linear Model (DLM) framework and estimated via a\u0000customized MCMC approach.

We observe that the LLM-based\u0000automated solution achieves comparable test accuracy to the standard web-based\u0000solution while reducing transferred bytes by up to 64% and CPU time by up to\u000046% for FL tasks. Also, we leverage the neural architecture search (NAS) and\u0000hyperparameter optimization (HPO) using LLM to improve the performance.
