Best Paper Award 2023 Editorial
The IEEE Transactions on Semiconductor Manufacturing congratulates Sewon Park, Kyeongwon Lee, Da-Eun Jeong, Heung-Kook Ko, and Jaeyong Lee whose paper “Bayesian Nonparametric Classification for Incomplete Data With a High Missing Rate: an Application to Semiconductor Manufacturing Data” (Vol. 36, No. 2, May 2023) was selected as the Best Paper for 2023 by a team of Associate Editors. This paper proposes using the the Dirichlet Process - Naive Bayes model (DPNB) to simultaneously impute missing values and address classification problems in semiconductor manufacturing data. The DPNB is based on the use of infinite Gaussian mixture models to model complex data distributions and estimate missing data records and variables, which is of utmost importance in semiconductor manufacturing. The DPNB performs well for high missing rates since it uses all the information from observed components. Experiments on various real datasets including semiconductor manufacturing data show that the DPNB has better performance than state-of-the-art methods in terms of predicting missing values and target variables as percentage of missing values increases.
Two other papers were recognized with an Honorable Mention.
