Benchmark assessment of the accuracy of several van der Waals density functionals
(American Chemical Society, 2012-04)The nonlocal correlation functional VV10, developed recently in our group, describes the whole range of dispersion interactions in a seamless and general fashion using only the electron density as input. The VV10 functional ... -
A benchmark for end-user structured data exploration and search user interfaces
(Elsevier BV, 2020-12)During the years, it has been possible to assess significant improvements in the computational efficiency of Semantic Web search and exploration systems. However, it has been much harder to assess how well different semantic ... -
A benchmark study on the thermal conductivity of nanofluids
(American Institute of Physics, 2009-11)This article reports on the International Nanofluid Property Benchmark Exercise, or INPBE, in which the thermal conductivity of identical samples of colloidally stable dispersions of nanoparticles or “nanofluids,” was ... -
Benchmarking AlphaFold ‐enabled molecular docking predictions for antibiotic discovery
(EMBO, 2022)Efficient identification of drug mechanisms of action remains a challenge. Computational docking approaches have been widely used to predict drug binding targets; yet, such approaches depend on existing protein structures, ... -
Benchmarking binding energy calculations for organic structure-directing agents in pure-silica zeolites
(AIP Publishing, 2021)Molecular modeling plays an important role in the discovery of organic structure-directing agents (OSDAs) for zeolites. By quantifying the intensity of host-guest interactions, it is possible to select cost-effective ... -
Benchmarking in Congenital Heart Surgery Using Machine Learning-Derived Optimal Classification Trees
(SAGE Publications, 2022)<jats:p> Background: We have previously shown that the machine learning methodology of optimal classification trees (OCTs) can accurately predict risk after congenital heart surgery (CHS). We have now applied this methodology ... -

Benchmarking Potential Based Rewards for Learning Humanoid Locomotion
(IEEE, 2023-05-29)The main challenge in developing effective reinforcement learning (RL) pipelines is often the design and tuning the reward functions. Well-designed shaping reward can lead to significantly faster learning. Naively formulated ... -
Benchmarking the performance of Bayesian optimization across multiple experimental materials science domains
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021-12)<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Bayesian optimization (BO) has been leveraged for guiding autonomous and high-throughput experiments in materials science. However, few have evaluated the efficiency of BO across a ... -
Benchmarks in Search Markets
(Wiley, 2017-07)We characterize the role of benchmarks in price transparency of over-the-counter markets. A benchmark can raise social surplus by increasing the volume of beneficial trade, facilitating more efficient matching between ... -
Bending artificial muscle from nylon filaments
(Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE), 2016-07)Highly oriented nylon and polyethylene fibers shrink in length and expand in diameter when heated. Using this property, in this work, for the first time we are introducing a type of bending artificial muscle from nylon ... -
Bending the Pipeline? Executive Search and Gender Inequality in Hiring for Top Management Jobs
(Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS), 2016-02)We study the sources of women’s underrepresentation in hiring for top management jobs by focusing on the context of executive search. Using data that include proprietary information on 10,970 individuals considered by a ... -
Beneficial <i>vs.</i> inhibiting passivation by the native lithium solid electrolyte interphase revealed by electrochemical Li<sup>+</sup> exchange
