Predicting household poverty with machine learning methods: the case of Malawi by Chinyama, Francis

“…Area under the Curve, Receiver Operating Characteristic curve, recall, precision, F1 score, Matthews Correlation Coefficient and Cohen's Kappa scores confirmed the classification models' reliability. The study, therefore, established that poverty can be predicted by open-source machine learning algorithms using a substantially reduced number of features with accuracy comparable to using the full feature set. …”

Integrated life-cycle cost & risk optimization framework for coastal protection structures by El Hakea, Ayman Hassan Abdel-Wahab

“…By calculating the average maintenance and repair per meter run of every coastal structure, corresponding to the condition of the structure, a Genetic-Algorithm (GA) – based Life-Cycle Cost (LCC) optimization modeling is then developed with the aim to minimize the total LCC for the entire coastal assets up to year 2050, while achieving the minimum reliability of structures, expressed as a Priority Index (PI). …”
