QFRS: quantitative finance reporting standards for forecasting, evaluation and trading claims See

Financial time-series forecasting lies between AI and market microstructure, but most studies optimise generic error metrics instead of risk-adjusted economic value under realistic frictions. Unlike NLP and vision, the field lacks a shared, reviewer-enforced standard for data handling and evaluation,&...

Data-centric deep learning for defect detection in fiber composite materials: A review of algorithms, challenges, and emerging trends See

Fiber composite materials (FCMs) have been widely used in high-performance engineering systems owing to their high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and excellent mechanical properties. Reliable defect detection is therefore essential for ensuring structural integrity, operational safety, and serv...

A Novel Distributed Optimization Algorithm With Linear Convergence for Economic Dispatch Under Compressed Communication See

This article addresses the distributed economic dispatch (ED) issue of microgrids. The primary objective of this study is to derive a distributed optimization algorithm with a compressed communication scheme over directed networks. Specifically, the algorithm aims to solve the ED problem, wh...

Diffusion Bridge-Based Gradual Domain Adaptation for Fault Diagnosis: Concept, Algorithms and Applications See

Gradual domain adaptation (GDA) has been recognized as an effective strategy for alleviating domain shift by decomposing large distribution discrepancies into a sequence of progressive adaptation steps, thereby enabling smoother knowledge transfer from source to target domains. However, existing GDA&#...

The Distinctive Managerial Challenges of Hybrid Organizations: Which Skills are Required? See

How do the distinctive managerial challenges of hybrid organizations appear in practice? Which skills can be taught to respond to those challenges? These important questions are investigated based on, first, an in-depth study of social incubators/accelerators and social ventures (SVs). Secon...

Systemic Creativities in Sustainability and Social Innovation Education See

The aim of this paper is to aid educators in sustainability or social innovation to make sense of their creativity. We use a systems model of creativity (Csikszentmihalyi 1988, 1996, 1999) as an enquiring device to tease out issues that influence creativity within these realms...

The role of a playful approach in developing entrepreneurial self-efficacy: mediating effect of entrepreneurial learning and moderating effect of the family context See

This study explores new sources of entrepreneurial self-efficacy focusing on play and learning. The study also considers the influence of the family context on this relationship. While extensive research has explored the origins of self-efficacy beliefs, we know little about the combined...
