Estimation of the Country Ranking Scores on the Global Innovation Index 2016 Using the Artificial Neural Network Method

Abstract

The Global Innovation Index (GII) aims to rank countries using different innovation factors. This ranking list enables countries to observe their potential status according to the rankings of other countries. The countries are classified under four groups according to the World Bank Income Group Classification on the GII list. The groups are named as; low income (LI), lower-middle income (LM), upper-middle income (UM) and high income (HI). Also, every country has a score in this ranking list. In this study, the ranking scores of 128 countries are estimated using the artificial neural network (ANN). We chose the relevant 27 features on GII 2016 Report, as input data. The significance of this paper is that; it is the first curve fitting and estimation of the score processes on GII 2016 dataset. The low root mean square error (RMSE) value which is obtained in an experimental study shows that the fitting structure is good enough to determine the approximate score of the countries in GII list. The results also show that the selected 27 features are sufficient for obtaining the income score of the countries. Increasing the number of features would lower the RMSE value and enable better approximation in the curve fitting process. The final results can assist the countries in achieving long-term output growth and improving their innovation capabilities.

Creative Character Training (CCT): Dampaknya terhadap Karakter Kreatif Guru Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini

“…Sementara itu, Global Innovation Index 2019 menempatkan Indonesia pada peringkat 85 dari 129 negara (Androschuk, 2021). Hasil ini pun masih menunjukkan posisi Indonesia masih di bawah dibandingkan dengan negara-negara Asia Tenggara dan Oseania lainnya (Pençe et al, 2019). Indeks kreativitas dan inovasi Indonesia yang rendah berkaitan dengan kualitas pendidikan yang masih perlu ditingkatkan, termasuk dalam jenjang Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini (PAUD).…”

The Development of Teaching Materials Based on Project-Oriented TPACK Approach to Improve the Creative Thinking Skills of Elementary School Teacher Prospective Students

“…Meanwhile, the 2019 Global Innovation Index places Indonesia at 85th place out of 129 countries (Dutta et al, 2020). This result also shows that Indonesia's position is still below that compared to other Southeast Asian and Oceanian countries (Pençe et al, 2019). Improvement efforts that have been carried out by various parties have not had an optimal effect on improving the quality of Indonesian graduates in terms of the creative thinking of prospective teachers.…”

National innovation efficiency: a DEA-based measurement of OECD countries

“…With the development of information and communication technologies in the process of globalization, innovation has become a more effective economic growth model (Mercan and Goktas, 2011). Today, more innovation investments are being made than ever before, the potential for global knowledge diffusion is increasing with international openness, and innovation actors in developing countries are making significant contributions to local and global innovation (Pençe et al , 2019). While innovation has become a necessity for businesses, it is also a national strategy for countries.…”

“…Advances in innovation activities and disruptive technologies, as well as the intensive use of information technologies in all fields, increase the importance of national innovation systems (NISs). Innovation and technology are very important drivers for both companies and countries, where technology is changing rapidly, and competition is becoming more intense (Lee et al , 2019; Pençe et al , 2019). Innovation is one of the primary driving forces of competitiveness and sustainable development (Chen et al , 2011; Pece et al , 2015).…”
