DOI: 10.1007/s10844-021-00651-y
Abstract: Offline evaluation of recommender systems (RSs) mostly relies on historical data, which is often biased. The bias is a result of many confounders that affect the data collection process. In such biased data, user-item interactions… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/lra.2018.2864350
Abstract: To properly evaluate the ability of robots to operate autonomously in the real world, it is necessary to develop methods for quantifying their self-righting capabilities. Here, we improve upon a sampling-based framework for evaluating self-righting… read more here.
