Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The proliferation of electric vehicles (EVs) necessitates accurate EV charging load forecasting for demand-side management and electric-grid planning. Conventional machine learning-based load forecasting methods like long short-term memory (LSTM) neural networks rely on large amounts of historical data, which can be resource-intensive and time-consuming to collect. In this study, we employ Transfer Learning (TL) and Model-Agnostic Meta-Learning (MAML) for short term EV charging load forecasting. These methods involve pre-training a base model on a larger comprehensive EV charging dataset followed by fine-tuning using a few days’ worth of EV charging data in our target location. We find that the performance of both the TL and MAML models outperform traditional LSTM models and other classic machine learning models in the context of forecast accuracy when working in three different settings with limited data, load variance, and diverse geographical locations. The error metrics from TL and MAML are up to 24% and 61% lower than deep learning and classic machine learning models respectively.
