A Randomized Algorithm for CCA
Abstract We present RandomizedCCA, a randomized algorithm for computing canonical analysis, suitable for large datasets stored either out of core or on a distributed file system. Accurate results can be obtained in as few as two data passes, which is relevant for distributed processing frameworks in which iteration is expensive (e.g., Hadoop). The strategy also provides an excellent initializer for standard iterative solutions
Using technology to improve the management of development impacts on biodiversity
Funder: The research was funded through a longâterm collaboration between Conservational International and Chevron.Abstract: The mitigation hierarchy (MH) is a prominent tool to help businesses achieve no net loss or net gain outcomes for biodiversity. Technological innovations offer benefits for business biodiversity management, yet the range and continued evolution of technologies creates a complex landscape that can be difficult to navigate. Using literature review, online surveys, and semiâstructured interviews, we assess technologies that can improve application of the MH. We identify six categories (mobile survey, fixed survey, remote sensing, blockchain, data analysis, and enabling technologies) with high feasibility and/or relevance to (i) aid direct implementation of mitigation measures and (ii) enhance biodiversity surveys and monitoring, which feed into the design of interventions including avoidance and minimization measures. At the interface between development and biodiversity impacts, opportunities lie in businesses investing in technologies, capitalizing on synergies between technology groups, collaborating with conservation organizations to enhance institutional capacity, and developing practical solutions suited for widespread use
