Stock2Vec: An Embedding to Improve Predictive Models for Companies (open access)

Stock2Vec: An Embedding to Improve Predictive Models for Companies

Building predictive models for companies often relies on inference using historical data of companies in the same industry sector. However, companies are similar across a variety of dimensions that should be leveraged in relevant prediction problems. This is particularly true for large, complex organizations which may not be well defined by a single industry and have no clear peers. To enable prediction using company information across a variety of dimensions, we create an embedding of company stocks, Stock2Vec, which can be easily added to any prediction model that applies to companies with associated stock prices. We describe the process of creating this rich vector representation from stock price fluctuations and characterize what the dimensions represent. We then conduct comprehensive experiments to evaluate this embedding in applied machine learning problems in various business contexts. Our experiment results demonstrate that the four features in the Stock2Vec embedding can readily augment existing cross-company models and enhance cross-company predictions.

Social Media and People Perception of Global Warming During Critical Environmental Events: the Impact of Misinformation through the Lens of Social Noise (open access)

Social Media and People Perception of Global Warming During Critical Environmental Events: the Impact of Misinformation through the Lens of Social Noise

Global warming is the term used to describe critical environmental issues and concerns. Social media such as Twitter provides a platform for people to share information, exchange ideas, and express their opinions about current and timely issues. This study utilized contextual analysis to analyze data collected from Twitter for the hashtag "global warming" during the period 2010 & 2011. Using sentiment analysis and topic modeling, the study aimed first at assessing people's perception towards global warming issues, and second study the impact of misinformation from the standpoint of social noise on people's perception of global warming during critical environmental events. The outcome of this study helps create a better understanding of the environmental issues discussed on social media. The sentiment analysis from the data analyzed so far shows that most of the tweets were based on Twitter users' personal opinions and not science. The topic modeling results suggest that Twitter users typically tweeted when a major environmental event occurred due to global warming. Topic modeling also aids in the identification of terms that is associated with social noise. The presence of social noise suggests that misinformation does exist and spreads faster.

An Interactive Web-Based Dashboard to Examine Trending Topics: Application to Financial Journals (open access)

An Interactive Web-Based Dashboard to Examine Trending Topics: Application to Financial Journals

Understanding trends is helpful to identify future behaviors in the field, and the roles of people, places, and institutions in setting those trends. Although traditional clustering strategies can group articles into topics, these techniques do not focus on topics over limited timescales; additionally, even when articles are grouped, the generated results are extensive and difficult to navigate. To address these concerns, we create an interactive dashboard that helps an expert in the field to better understand and quantify trends in their area of research. Trend detection is performed using the time-biased document clustering introduced in Behpour et al. (2021) study. The developed and freely available web application enables users to detect well defined trending topics in financial journals by experimenting with various levels of temporal bias - from detecting short-timescale trends to allowing those trends to spread over longer times. Experts can readily drill down into the identified topics to understand their meaning through keywords, example articles, and time range. Overall, the interactive dashboard will allow experts in the field to sift through the vast literature to identify the concepts, people, places, and institutions most critical to the field.

Sol-gel synthesized indium tin oxide as a transparent conducting oxide with solution-processed black phosphorus for its integration into solar-cells

This article describes the synthesis of indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films using solgel processing with a mixture of InCl₃, methanol, and SnCl₂, where the solutions were spin coated onto glass substrates. The combined architecture of black phosphorus on ITO thin films shows promise in its use for transparent electronics, which can also serve as a stepping stone for future solar cell platforms.
