Sentiment Analysis
Author: Bing Liu
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108787282
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 451
Book Description
Sentiment analysis is the computational study of people's opinions, sentiments, emotions, moods, and attitudes. This fascinating problem offers numerous research challenges, but promises insight useful to anyone interested in opinion analysis and social media analysis. This comprehensive introduction to the topic takes a natural-language-processing point of view to help readers understand the underlying structure of the problem and the language constructs commonly used to express opinions, sentiments, and emotions. The book covers core areas of sentiment analysis and also includes related topics such as debate analysis, intention mining, and fake-opinion detection. It will be a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners in natural language processing, computer science, management sciences, and the social sciences. In addition to traditional computational methods, this second edition includes recent deep learning methods to analyze and summarize sentiments and opinions, and also new material on emotion and mood analysis techniques, emotion-enhanced dialogues, and multimodal emotion analysis.

What lessons from the 1930s?
Author: Cinzia Alcidi
Publisher: CEPS
ISBN: 9290798823
Category : Banks and banking
Languages : en
Pages : 19
Book Description
"This paper explores three areas in which the experience of the Great Depression might be relevant today: monetary policy, fiscal policy and the systemic stability of the banking system. We confirm the consensus on monetary policy: deflation must be avoided. With regard to fiscal policy, the picture is less clear. We cannot confirm a widespread opinion according to which fiscal policy did not work because it was not tried. We find that fiscal policy went to the limit of what was possible within the confines of sustainability, as they existed then. Our investigation of the US banking system shows a surprising resilience of the sector: commercial banking operations (deposit-taking and lending) remained profitable even during the worst years. This suggests one policy conclusion: At present the authorities in both the US and Europe have little choice but to make up for the losses on 'legacy' assets and wait for banks to earn back their capital. But to prevent future crises of this type, one should make sure that losses from the investment banking arms cannot impair commercial banking operations. At least a partial separation of commercial and investment banking thus seems justified by the greater stability of commercial banking operations."--Publisher.

While public-private partnerships in education in the United States have received a lot of attention, research on such partnerships elsewhere has been limited--even though such partnerships have been steadily gaining prominence, particularly in developing countries. Aiming to fill this gap, this book presents fresh, technically sound empirical evidence on the effectiveness and cost of various public-private education partnerships from around the world, including voucher programs and faith-based schools.

Risk Analysis for Islamic Banks
Author: Hennie van Greuning
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 0821371428
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
Islamic finance is emerging as a rapidly growing part of the financial sector in the Islamic world and is not restricted to Islamic countries, but is spreading wherever there is a sizable Muslim community. According to some estimates, more than 250 financial institutions in over 45 countries practice some form of Islamic finance, and the industry has been growing at a rate of more than 15 percent annually for the past several years. The market's current annual turnover is estimated to be $70 billion, compared with a mere $5 billion in 1985, and is projected to hit the $100 billion mark by the turn of the century. Since the emergence of Islamic banks in the early 1970s, considerable research has been conducted, mainly focusing on the viability, design and operations of a deposit-accepting financial institution, which operates primarily on the basis of profit and loss partnerships rather than interest. This publication provides a comprehensive overview of topics related to the assessment, analysis, and management of various types of risks in the field of Islamic banking. It is an attempt to provide a high-level framework (aimed at non-specialist executives) attuned to the current realities of changing economies and Islamic financial markets. This approach emphasizes the accountability of key players in the corporate governance process in relation to the management of different dimensions of Islamic financial risk.

Machine Learning aplicado al rendimiento académico en educación superior: factores, variables y herramientas
Author: Contreras, Leonardo Emiro
Publisher: Editorial Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas
ISBN: 9587875184
Category : Education
Languages : es
Pages : 260
Book Description
Las herramientas de aprendizaje automático están siendo muy utilizadas por sus buenas aproximaciones al predecir el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes. Se analiza información de la última década con el objetivo de identificar los factores que influyen sobre el rendimiento académico en el nivel superior, a partir de modelos realizados por medio de técnicas de aprendizaje automático. Se plantea una clasificación en factores académicos, sociodemográficos, de aprendizaje en línea, de gestión académica, psicosocial y de entorno académico. También se identifican los algoritmos más usados en su predicción. Adicionalmente, la detección de las variables que más influyen en el fenómeno permitirá implementar algoritmos de Machine Learning pertenecientes a otras ramas de este campo. Así pues, al ahondar un poco más sobre la aplicación de herramientas de Machine Learning en educación superior, este trabajo servirá a docentes e investigadores que deseen investigar estos temas.

ISBN: 1135268045
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 503
Book Description
Since the financial crisis of 2000 and 2001 the Turkish economy has undergone considerable change and some improvement. This book gives a detailed examination of the neo-liberal restructuring that has taken place and the challenges the economy still faces, providing a comparative perspective on recent reforms and the position of Turkey in the global economy. This book examines all major aspects of the post-crisis economic performance of the Turkish economy. Major sectors of the economy such as agriculture and manufacturing along with key issues such as privatization, export growth, developments in the labour market, poverty and social exclusion are analysed in detail. The authors consider Turkish performance from a comparative perspective, drawing attention to its similarities with the experience of other emerging markets. Providing an insight into the major difficulties of post-crisis adjustment, sustainability of the gains achieved so far and the challenges that lie ahead, this book will be of interest to academics and scholars in the fields of International Political Economy and Globalization Studies, Middle East Studies and Development Studies, as well as having significance for practitioners in emerging markets.
