Decomposition of skill scores for conditional verification: impact of Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation phases on the predictability of decadal temperature forecasts by A. Richling, J. Grieger, H. W. Rust

“…The overall skill score is decomposed into a weighted sum representing <i>subset contributions</i>, where each individual contribution is the product of the following: (1) the <i>subset skill score</i>, assessing the performance of a forecast system compared to a reference system for a particular subset; (2) the <i>frequency weighting</i>, accounting for varying subset size; and (3) the <i>reference weighting</i>, relating the performance of the reference system in the individual subsets to the performance of the full data set. …”

Managing Co-Authorship as a Competence of Academic Writing: Organizational and Legal Points by M. A. Safonova, A. A. Safonov

“…Embracing a broad area of linguistic and cultural knowledge, academic writing can also intend to develop people’s awareness of such problems as models of co-authorship, horizontal and vertical types of academic co-operation, functions assigned to members of collaborative groups at different stages of writing and publishing a text, whole ownership and that of individual contributions. The ambiguous interpretation of the concept ‘creative contribution’ provided by the Civil Code of the Russian Federation often impedes cooperation among co-authors, which demonstrates the need to consider legal and organizational points concerning co-publications in academic writing courses, the goal being to prevent future co-authors from potential conflicts and assisting them in managing their work efficiently.…”

Heterogeneous foraging swarms can be better by Gal A. Kaminka, Yinon Douchan

“…In this paper, we will show that swarms can perform better, when they self-adapt to admit heterogeneous behavior roles.MethodsWe model a foraging swarm task as an extensive-form fully-cooperative game, in which the swarm reward is an additive function of individual contributions (the sum of collected items). To maximize the swarm reward, previous work proposed using distributed reinforcement learning, where each robot adapts its own collision-avoidance decisions based on the Effectiveness Index reward (EI). …”
