Semantically nearest themes

Themes that sit closest to this one on the semantic map — the work that reads most like it.

Themes are clusters found by grouping abstracts on their sentence embeddings, so their boundaries are statistical rather than official EGU categories. "Uses AI" comes from a keyword detector validated at precision 0.95 and recall 0.9. Point estimates carry roughly half a point to a point of uncertainty from the clustering.
