Similarity Search for Scientific Workflows

Summary: Dissects prior scientific workflow similarity methods into explicit subtasks for fair, stepwise comparison. Builds a gold-standard dataset (2000+ similarity ratings, ~1500 workflows) and re-implements methods to enable isolated evaluation and robust aggregation. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
