title: Lithofacies, paleoenvironments and elements of sequence architecture, Late Oligocene - earliest Miocene Castle Craig Subgroup (Te Kuiti Group), Waikato-King Country Basin, New Zealand

authors: Kamp, Peter J.J.

abstract: This report presents a comprehensive facies and sequence stratigraphic analysis of the Late Oligocene Castle Craig Subgroup (Orahiri Formation and Otorohanga Limestone) within the Late Eocene – Earliest Miocene Te Kuiti Group in the Waikato-King Country Basin in central-western North Island, New Zealand. Detailed field investigations have identified 12 lithofacies within the Castle Craig Subgroup, which have been grouped into three lithofacies associations named limestone, mixed carbonate-siliciclastic sandstone, and siliciclastic sandstone after the dominant lithologies. In areas south of Aotea Harbour the subgroup comprises a wide variety of limestone types with variable siliciclastic content, dominated by coarse skeletal rudstone/grainstone, with aggregate stratigraphic thicknesses of up to 100 m. These sediments accumulated at shelf depths in a moderate to highenergy tidal seaway. Around Raglan Harbour and in areas to the north, the subgroup comprises predominantly planktic foraminiferal-rich packstone to wackestone and calcareous siltstone/marl that accumulated mainly in slope/upper bathyal settings.

title: Classifier chains: A review and perspectives

authors: Read, Jesse

subjects: computer science

abstract: The family of methods collectively known as classifier chains has become a popular approach to multi-label learning problems. This approach involves chaining together off-the-shelf binary classifiers in a directed structure, such that individual label predictions become features for other classifiers. Such methods have proved flexible and effective and have obtained state-of-the-art empirical performance across many datasets and multi-label evaluation metrics. This performance led to further studies of the underlying mechanism and efficacy, and investigation into how it could be improved. In the recent decade, numerous studies have explored the theoretical underpinnings of classifier chains, and many improvements have been made to the training and inference procedures, such that this method remains among the best options for multi-label learning. Given this past and ongoing interest, which covers a broad range of applications and research themes, the goal of this work is to provide a review of classifier chains, a survey of the techniques and extensions provided in the literature, as well as perspectives for this approach in the domain of multi-label classification in the future. We conclude positively, with a number of recommendations for researchers and practitioners, as well as outlining key issues for future research.

title: A Māori homeless woman

authors: Groot, Shiloh Ann Maree

subjects: Māori

abstract: Indigenous peoples are overrepresented in homeless populations in many countries. As part of a larger ethnographic project, this case study draws upon interviews and photoelicitation projects with a homeless Māori woman, Ariā. The actions of this Māori woman exemplify how Indigenous cultural practices can shape a person’s efforts to retain a positive sense of self and place while homeless. Māori cultural concepts relating to caring, leadership, unity, relationships, spirituality, history and place provide a basis for interpreting Ariā’s actions. This article demonstrates the appropriateness of cultural concepts indigenous to a group for conducting ethnographic research into homelessness within that group.
