Background: Existing guidelines for handling missing data are generally not consistent with the goals of prediction modelling, where missing data can occur at any stage of the model pipeline. Multiple imputation (MI), often heralded as the…
In order to evaluate the quality of the scientific research, we introduce a new family of scientific performance measures, called Scientific Research Measures (SRM). Our proposal originates from the more recent developments in the theory of…
Sustainable Development Goals are the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for society. Its legacy is linked with the Millennium Development Goals, set up in 2000. A bibliometric analysis was conducted to 1) measure…
The search engine evaluation research has quite a lot metrics available to it. Only recently, the question of the significance of individual metrics started being raised, as these metrics' correlations to real-world user experiences or…
Climate change and global warming have been trending topics worldwide since the Eco-92 conference. However, little progress has been made in reducing greenhouse gases (GHGs). The problems and challenges related to emissions are complex and…
Recently, one critical issue looms large in the field of recommender systems -- there are no effective benchmarks for rigorous evaluation -- which consequently leads to unreproducible evaluation and unfair comparison. We, therefore, conduct…
In the context of cluster analysis and graph partitioning, many external evaluation measures have been proposed in the literature to compare two partitions of the same set. This makes the task of selecting the most appropriate measure for a…
Scientific workflows consist of thousands of highly parallelized tasks executed in a distributed environment involving many components. Automatic tracing and investigation of the components' and tasks' performance metrics, traces, and…
The Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) are vital to India's research ecosystem, advancing technology and engineering for industrial and societal benefits. This study reviews the research performance of top IITs-Bombay, Delhi, Madras,…
Performance regressions in large-scale software systems can lead to substantial resource inefficiencies, making their early detection critical. Frequent benchmarking is essential for identifying these regressions and maintaining…
Evaluating robustness of machine-learning models to adversarial examples is a challenging problem. Many defenses have been shown to provide a false sense of robustness by causing gradient-based attacks to fail, and they have been broken…
We suggest the use of indicators to analyze entrepreneurial ecosystems, in a way similar to ecological indicators: simple, measurable, and actionable characteristics, used to convey relevant information to stakeholders and policymakers. We…
As 6G and beyond redefine connectivity, wireless networks become the foundation of critical operations, making resilience more essential than ever. With this shift, wireless systems cannot only take on vital services previously handled by…
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) scores measure companies' performance concerning sustainability and societal impact and are organized on three pillars: Environmental (E), Social (S), and Governance (G). These complementary…
Strategic, sustained Federal investments in intelligent infrastructure will increase safety and resilience, improve efficiencies and civic services, and broaden employment opportunities and job growth nationwide. The technologies that…
We design a research strategy to measure wage returns of research training targeting early career researchers (ECRs) at research infrastructures (RIs). Grounded in established economic models of education and training, our strategy improves…
A new citation index $h_{PI}$ for principal investigators (PIs) is defined in analogy to Hirsch's index $h$, but based on renormalized citations of a PI's papers. To this end, the authors of a paper are divided into two groups: PIs and…
University evaluation is a topic of increasing concern in Italy as well as in other countries. In empirical analysis, university activities and performances are generally measured by means of indicator variables, summarizing the available…
The burgeoning integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives within the financial sector represents a paradigm shift towards more sus-tainable and equitable financial practices.…
There are various cluster validity indices used for evaluating clustering results. One of the main objectives of using these indices is to seek the optimal unknown number of clusters. Some indices work well for clusters with different…
