Questions & Answers
What is a simulation study?
ASReview’s simulation mode re-enacts the screening process without depending on human “oracles.” Because the dataset’s labels are already known, the software can simulate labeling decisions in real time, just as a human would. The simulation automatically stops once all relevant records are found, at which point performance metrics can be calculated.
What types of benchmark datasets can be used for simulations, and how should they be prepared?
In principle, any dataset with labeled records (relevant vs. irrelevant) can serve as a benchmark for simulations in ASReview. One popular choice is the SYNERGY database—a collection of fully labeled systematic reviews spanning multiple research domains.
How can researchers evaluate and compare different active learning models using ASReview’s simulation framework?
ASReview provides various metrics to measure model performance and screening efficiency, the most common being recall, loss, work saved over sampling, time to discovery. Users can also create their own metrics and add these to Insights.
How to run advanced simulations?
You can run simulations through the API, the command-line interface, or the web app, depending on how much control you need over the study parameters. For large-scale or more complex experiments—especially those that require high-performance computing—ASReview offers tools like Makita, which allows you to create a workflow for multiple simulation runs with different model configurations. Running simulations can be done locally, in the cloud or on a Kubernetes cluster, so you can scale up when testing many datasets or intensive model combinations.
Can I make my own simulation with my own models?
Absolutely! The system is designed for customization!
