The exponential growth of academic publications has made scholarly research recommender systems indispensable tools for researchers. These systems rely on diverse evaluation metrics to assess their effectiveness and relevance. This paper provides a comprehensive review and analysis of these metrics, categorizing them into accuracy, ranking, diversity, user-centric, coverage, temporal, and computational metrics. By employing a mixed-methods approach, combining systematic literature review and empirical analysis, we identify the prevalence and application of these metrics across various scholarly domains such as literature, conferences, and reviewers. Our findings highlight the widespread use of traditional metrics like precision, recall, and Fl-score, while emphasizing the growing importance of novel metrics such as unexpectedness and serendipity, especially in literature and conference recommendations. We also underscore the domain-specific nature of metric selection, with user-centric evaluations more prominent in literature recommendations, and ranking-focused metrics dominant in conference and reviewer recommendations. Furthermore, the study reveals a significant gap in the use of temporal and computational metrics, suggesting key areas for future research. This review offers valuable insights for researchers and practitioners, guiding them in metric selection and highlighting potential directions for enhancing the effectiveness, adaptability, and user satisfaction of scholarly recommender systems.

In this paper, we enhance a distributed version of the well known k-means algorithm with privacy-preservation features. While ensuring that sensitive or confidential information remains undisclosed to unauthorized entities (in our case these entities are curious nodes within the network), we maintain the desirable features of the distributed algorithm: the transmitted values are quantized, which optimizes bandwidth utilization and alleviates communication bottlenecks, and nodes possess the ability to collectively determine when to terminate the algorithm, which enables the conservation of valuable resources. We introduce a novel privacy-preserving protocol that not only preserves the privacy of a node’s state, but it also ensures confidentiality about its cluster affiliation (i.e., it does not reveal to curious nodes whether a node participates in the update calculation for a specific centroid value). Moreover, we precisely characterize topological conditions that guarantee privacy preservation for individual nodes. Our distributed algorithm allows the formation of exclusive clusters within a finite time frame on any static and strongly connected directed graph.

In this paper, an iterative learning strategy was developed to improve trajectory tracking for an impedance-controlled robot manipulator. In this learning strategy, an update law was proposed to modify the Cartesian reference of an impedance controller. Also, the conditions that ensure its convergence considering the dynamics of the robot were derived. Finally, an experimental evaluation was performed using a Franka Emika Panda robot in two different robot tasks, and its results showed that robot task completion was achieved in a lower number of iterations, while maintaining a smooth physical interaction between the robot and its surroundings.

Solving the explicit model predictive control (MPC) problem entails enumerating a list of critical regions and their ancillary feedback laws. Unfortunately, their number and the time required to compute them increase exponentially with the problem size (state-space model dimension and length of the prediction horizon). We show that when, as it is often the case, the problem’s constraints take the form of boxes or zonotopes, the resulting feasible domain can be compactly described as a constrained zonotope. Subsequently, we investigate whether, and under which circumstances, the combinatorial structure of the constrained zonotope interpretation accelerates the computation of the explicit solution.

Active sensing plays an essential role in searching and tracking a target without initial target state information. This paper studies the active sensing approach for sensor management problems using multiple unmanned aerial vehicles based on the received signal strength measurements of the target. A Bayesian optimisation-based approach is proposed which adopts the Gaussian process method to model the received signal strength in an area over time and then the expected improvement acquisition function is leveraged to decide where to take new measurements considering the uncertainty of the Gaussian process. A unique contribution of this paper consists of the designed spatial-temporal composite kernel function that accounts for the time-varying nature of the signal strength. Numerical results obtained from different measurement noise levels and varying initial Bayesian optimisation settings demonstrate that the proposed approach can efficiently schedule multiple unmanned aerial vehicles to locate the target within a minimum number of initial data. Particularly, it achieves at most $57 \%$ lower tracking error and $46 \%$ lower lost-track probability as compared to the benchmark approach.
