PurposeIn traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the mechanism of disease (MD) constitutes an essential element of syndrome differentiation and treatment, elucidating the mechanisms underlying the occurrence, progression, alterations and outcomes of diseases. However, there is a dearth of research in the field of intelligent diagnosis concerning the analysis of MD.Design/methodology/approachIn this paper, we propose a supervised Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic model, termed MD-LDA, which elucidates the process of MDs identification. We leverage the label information inherent in the data as prior knowledge and incorporate it into the model’s training. Additionally, we devise two parallel parameter estimation algorithms for efficient training. Furthermore, we introduce a benchmark MD identification dataset, named TMD, for training MD-LDA. Finally, we validate the performance of MD-LDA through comprehensive experiments.FindingsThe results show that MD-LDA is effective and efficient. Moreover, MD-LDA outperforms the state-of-the-art topic models on perplexity, Kullback–Leibler (KL) and classification performance.Originality/valueThe proposed MD-LDA can be applied for the MD discovery and analysis of TCM clinical diagnosis, so as to improve the interpretability and reliability of intelligent diagnosis and treatment.
PurposeSocial media platforms that disseminate scientific information to the public during the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of the topic of scientific communication. Content creators in the field, as well as researchers who study the impact of scientific information online, are interested in how people react to these information resources and how they judge them. This study aims to devise a framework for extracting large social media datasets and find specific feedback to content delivery, enabling scientific content creators to gain insights into how the public perceives scientific information.Design/methodology/approachTo collect public reactions to scientific information, the study focused on Twitter users who are doctors, researchers, science communicators or representatives of research institutes, and processed their replies for two years from the start of the pandemic. The study aimed in developing a solution powered by topic modeling enhanced by manual validation and other machine learning techniques, such as word embeddings, that is capable of filtering massive social media datasets in search of documents related to reactions to scientific communication. The architecture developed in this paper can be replicated for finding any documents related to niche topics in social media data. As a final step of our framework, we also fine-tuned a large language model to be able to perform the classification task with even more accuracy, forgoing the need of more human validation after the first step.FindingsWe provided a framework capable of receiving a large document dataset, and, with the help of with a small degree of human validation at different stages, is able to filter out documents within the corpus that are relevant to a very underrepresented niche theme inside the database, with much higher precision than traditional state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms. Performance was improved even further by the fine-tuning of a large language model based on BERT, which would allow for the use of such model to classify even larger unseen datasets in search of reactions to scientific communication without the need for further manual validation or topic modeling.Research limitations/implicationsThe challenges of scientific communication are even higher with the rampant increase of misinformation in social media, and the difficulty of competing in a saturated attention economy of the social media landscape. Our study aimed at creating a solution that could be used by scientific content creators to better locate and understand constructive feedback toward their content and how it is received, which can be hidden as a minor subject between hundreds of thousands of comments. By leveraging an ensemble of techniques ranging from heuristics to state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms, we created a framework that is able to detect texts related to very niche subjects in very large datasets, with just a small amount of examples of texts related to the subject being given as input.Practical implicationsWith this tool, scientific content creators can sift through their social media following and quickly understand how to adapt their content to their current user’s needs and standards of content consumption.Originality/valueThis study aimed to find reactions to scientific communication in social media. We applied three methods with human intervention and compared their performance. This study shows for the first time, the topics of interest which were discussed in Brazil during the COVID-19 pandemic.
PurposeEducational data mining (EDM) discovers significant patterns from educational data and thus can help understand the relations between learners and their educational settings. However, most previous data mining techniques focus on prediction of learning performance of learners without integrating learning patterns identification techniques.Design/methodology/approachThis study proposes a new framework for identifying learning patterns and predicting learning performance. Two modules, the learning patterns identification module and the deep learning prediction models (DNN), are integrated into this framework to identify the difference of learning performance and predicting learning performance from profiles of students.FindingsExperimental results from survey data indicate that the proposed identifying learning patterns module could facilitate identifying valuable difference (change) patterns from student's profiles. The proposed learning performance prediction module which adapts DNN also performs better than traditional machine techniques in prediction performance metrics.Originality/valueTo our best knowledge, the framework is the only educational system in the literature for identifying learning patterns and predicting learning performance.
PurposeThis study explores the career trajectories of Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) to uncover unique characteristics that contribute to their success. By utilizing web scraping and machine learning techniques, over two thousand CEO profiles from LinkedIn are analyzed to understand patterns in their career paths. This study offers an alternative approach compared to the predominantly qualitative research methods employed in previous research.Design/methodology/approachThis study proposes a framework for analyzing CEO career patterns. Job titles and company information are encoded using the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) scheme. The study employs the Needleman-Wunsch optimal matching algorithm and an agglomerative approach to construct distance matrices and cluster CEO career paths.FindingsThis study gathered data on the career transition processes of graduates from several renowned public and private universities in the United States via LinkedIn. Employing machine learning techniques, the analysis revealed diverse career trajectories. The findings offer career guidance for individuals from various academic backgrounds aspiring to become CEOs.Research limitations/implicationsThe building of a career sequence that takes into account the number of years requires integers. Numbers that are not integers have been rounded up to facilitate the optimal matching process but this approach prevents a perfectly accurate representation of time worked.Practical implicationsThis study makes an original contribution to the field of career pattern analysis by disclosing the distinct career path groups of CEOs using the rich LinkedIn online dataset. Note that our CEO profiles are not restricted in any industry or specific career paths followed to becoming CEOs. In light of the fact that individuals who hold CEO positions are usually perceived by society as successful, we are interested in finding the characteristics behind their success and whether either the title held or the company they remain at show patterns in making them who they are today.Originality/valueAs a matter of fact, nearly all CEOs had previous experience working for a non-Fortune organization before joining a Fortune company. Of those who have worked for Fortune firms, the number of CEOs with experience in Fortune 500 forms exceeded those with experience in Fortune 1,000 firms.
PurposeThis study aims to provide measurable information that evaluates a company’s ESG performance based on the conceptual connection between ESG, non-financial elements of a company and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for resolving global issues.Design/methodology/approachA novel data processing method based on the BERT is presented and applied to analyze the changes and characteristics of SDG-related ESG texts from companies’ disclosures over the past decade. Specifically, ESG-related sentences are extracted from 93,277 Form 10-K filings disclosed between 2010 and 2022 and the similarity between these extracted sentences and SDGs statements is calculated through sentence transformers. A classifier is created by fine-tuning FinBERT, a financial domain-specific pre-trained language model, to classify the sentences into eight ESG classes.FindingsThe quantified results obtained from the classifier reveal several implications. First, it is observed that the trend of SDG-related ESG sentences shows a slow and steady increase over the past decade. Second, large-cap companies relatively have a greater amount of SDG-related ESG disclosures than small-cap companies. Third, significant events such as the COVID-19 pandemic greatly impact the changes in disclosure content.Originality/valueThis study presents a novel approach to textual analysis using neural network-based language models such as BERT. The results of this study provide meaningful information and insights for investors in socially responsible investment and sustainable investment and suggest that corporations need a long-term plan regarding ESG disclosures.
PurposeTo support digital humanities research more effectively and efficiently, this study develops a novel Knowledge Graph Analysis Tool of People and Organizations (KGAT-PO) for the Digital Humanities Research Platform for Biographies of Chinese Malaysian Personalities (DHRP-BCMP) based on artificial intelligence (AI) technology that would not only allow humanities scholars to look at the relationships between people but also has the potential for aiding digital humanities research by identifying latent relationships between people via relationships between people and organizations.Design/methodology/approachTo verify the effectiveness of KGAT-PO, a counterbalanced design was applied to compare research participants in two groups using DHRP-BCMP with and without KGAT-PO, respectively, to perform people relationship inquiry and to see if there were significant differences in the effectiveness and efficiency of exploring relationships between people, and the use of technology acceptance between the two groups. Interviews and Lag Sequential Analysis were also used to observe research participants' perceptions and behaviors.FindingsThe results show that the DHRP-BCMP with KGAT-PO could help research participants improve the effectiveness of exploring relationships between people, and the research participants showed high technology acceptance towards using DHRP-BCMP with KGAT-PO. Moreover, the research participants who used DHRP-BCMP with KGAT-PO could identify helpful textual patterns to explore people's relationships more quickly than DHRP-BCMP without KGAT-PO. The interviews revealed that most research participants agreed that the KGAT-PO is a good starting point for exploring relationships between people and improves the effectiveness and efficiency of exploring people's relationship networks.Research limitations/implicationsThe research's limitations encompass challenges related to data quality, complex people relationships, and privacy and ethics concerns. Currently, the KGAT-PO is limited to recognizing eight types of person-to-person relationships, including couple, sibling, parent-child, friend, teacher-student, relative, work, and others. These factors should be carefully considered to ensure the tool's accuracy, usability, and ethical application in enhancing digital humanities research.Practical implicationsThe study's practical implications encompass enhanced research efficiency, aiding humanities scholars in uncovering latent interpersonal relationships within historical texts with high technology acceptance. Additionally, the tool's applications can extend to social sciences, business and marketing, educational settings, and innovative research directions, ultimately contributing to data-driven insights in the field of digital humanities.Originality/valueThe research's originality lies in creating a Knowledge Graph Analysis Tool of People and Organizations (KGAT-PO) using AI, bridging the gap between digital humanities research and AI technology. Its value is evident in its potential to efficiently uncover hidden people relationships, aiding digital humanities scholars in gaining new insights and perspectives, ultimately enhancing the depth and effectiveness of their research.
PurposeBecause the food service industry is more dependent on customer contact and human resources than other industries, it is crucial to understand the factors influencing employee job satisfaction to ensure that employees provide satisfactory service to customers. However, few studies have incorporated employee reviews of job portals into their research. Many job seekers tend to trust company reviews posted by employees on job portals based on the information provided by the company itself. Thus, this study utilized company reviews and job satisfaction ratings from employees in the food service industry on a job portal site, Job Planet, to conduct mixed-method research.Design/methodology/approachFor qualitative research, we applied the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) model to food service industry company reviews to identify 10 job satisfaction factors considered important by employees. For quantitative research, four algorithms were used to predict job satisfaction ratings: regression tree, multilayer perceptron (MLP), random forest and XGBoost. Thus, we generated predictor variables for six cases using the probability values of topics and job satisfaction ratings on a five-point scale through LDA and used them to build prediction algorithms.FindingsThe analysis showed that algorithm accuracy performed differently in each of the six cases, and overall, factors such as work-life balance and work environment have a significant impact on predicting job satisfaction ratings.Originality/valueThis study is significant because its methodology and results suggest a new approach based on data analysis in the field of human resources, which can contribute to the operation and planning of corporate human resources management in the future.
PurposeTechnology serves as a key catalyst in shaping society and the economy, significantly altering customer dynamics. Through a deep understanding of these evolving behaviors, a service can be tailored to address each customer's unique needs and personality. We introduce a strategy to integrate customer complaints with their personality traits, enabling responses that resonate with the customer’s unique personality.Design/methodology/approachWe propose a strategy to incorporate customer complaints with their personality traits, enabling responses that reflect the customer’s unique personality. Our approach is twofold: firstly, we employ the customer complaints ontology (CCOntology) framework enforced with multi-class classification based on a machine learning algorithm, to classify complaints. Secondly, we leverage the personality measurement platform (PMP), powered by the big five personality model to predict customer’s personalities. We develop the framework for the Indonesian language by extracting tweets containing customer complaints directed towards Indonesia's three biggest e-commerce services.FindingsBy mapping customer complaints and their personality type, we can identify specific personality traits associated with customer dissatisfaction. Thus, personalizing how we offer the solution based on specific characteristics.Originality/valueThe research enriches the state-of-the-art personalizing service research based on captured customer behavior. Thus, our research fills the research gap in considering customer personalities. We provide comprehensive insights by aligning customer feedback with corresponding personality traits extracted from social media data. The result is a highly customized response mechanism attuned to individual customer preferences and requirements.
PurposeThis systematic review aimed to identify and categorize applications using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) to support activities outside of direct healthcare provision.Design/methodology/approachA systematic electronic search was performed, and 53 studies were included after the selection process.FindingsThe results show that FHIR is being used to support (1) clinical research (i.e. clinical research based on interventional trials, data interoperability to support clinical research and advanced communication services to support clinical research), (2) public health and (3) medical education. Despite the FHIR potential to support activities outside of direct healthcare provision, some barriers were identified, namely difficulties translating the proposed applications to clinical environments or FHIR technical issues that require further developments.Originality/valueThis study provided a broad review of how FHIR is being applied in clinical activities outside of direct clinical care and identified three major domains, that is, clinical research, public health and medical education, being the first and most representative in terms of number of publications.
PurposeThe overload of user-generated content in online mental health community makes the focus and resonance tendencies of the participating groups less clear. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to build an early identification mechanism for users' high attention content to promote early intervention and effective dissemination of professional medical guidance.Design/methodology/approachWe decouple the identification mechanism from two processes: early feature combing and algorithmic model construction. Firstly, based on the differentiated needs and concerns of the participant groups, the multiple features of “information content + source users” are refined. Secondly, a multi-level fusion model is constructed for features processing. Specifically, Bidirectional Encoder Representation from Transformers (BERT)-Bi-directional Long-Short Term Memory (BiLSTM)-Linear are used to refine the semantic features, while Graph Attention Networks (GAT) is used to capture the entity attributes and relation features. Finally, the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is used to optimize the multi-level fusion features.FindingsThe results show that the ACC of the multi-level fusion model is 84.42%, F1 is 79.43% and R is 76.71%. Compared with other baseline models and single feature elements, the ACC and F1 values are improved to different degrees.Originality/valueThe originality of this paper lies in analyzing multiple features based on early stages and constructing a new multi-level fusion model for processing. Further, the study is valuable for the orientation of psychological patients' needs and early guidance of professional medical care.
Purpose-This paper introduces a novel method, Variance Rule-based Window Size Tracking (VR-WT), for deriving a sequence of estimation window sizes. This approach not only identifies structural change points but also ascertains the optimal size of the estimation window. VR-WT is designed to achieve accurate model estimation and is versatile enough to be applied across a range of models in various disciplines. Design/methodology/approach-This paper proposes a new method named Variance Rule-based Window size Tracking (VR-WT), which derives a sequence of estimation window sizes. The concept of VR-WT is inspired by the Potential Scale Reduction Factor (PSRF), a tool used to evaluate the convergence and stationarity of MCMC. Findings-Monte Carlo simulation study demonstrates that VR-WT accurately detects structural change points and select appropriate window sizes. The VR-WT is essential in applications where accurate estimation of model parameters and inference about their value, sign, and significance are critical. The VR-WT has also helped us understand shifts in parameter-based inference, ensuring stability across periods and highlighting how the timing and impact of market shocks vary across fields and datasets. Originality/value-The first distinction of the VR-WT lies in its purpose and methodological differences. The VR-WT focuses on precise parameter estimation. By dynamically tracking window sizes, VR-WT selects flexible window sizes and enables the visualization of structural changes. The second distinction of VR-WT lies in its broad applicability and versatility. We conducted empirical applications across three fields of study: CAPM; interdependence analysis between global stock markets; and the study of time-dependent energy prices.
Purpose A novel method has been proposed to reduce the false alarm rate of arrhythmia patients regarding life-threatening conditions in the intensive care unit. In this purpose, the atrial blood pressure, photoplethysmogram (PLETH), electrocardiogram (ECG) and respiratory (RESP) signals are considered as input signals. Design/methodology/approach Three machine learning approaches feed-forward artificial neural network (ANN), ensemble learning method and k -nearest neighbors searching methods are used to detect the false alarm. The proposed method has been implemented using Arduino and MATLAB/SIMULINK for real-time ICU-arrhythmia patients' monitoring data. Findings The proposed method detects the false alarm with an accuracy of 99.4 per cent during asystole, 100 per cent during ventricular flutter, 98.5 per cent during ventricular tachycardia, 99.6 per cent during bradycardia and 100 per cent during tachycardia. The proposed framework is adaptive in many scenarios, easy to implement, computationally friendly and highly accurate and robust with overfitting issue. Originality/value As ECG signals consisting with PQRST wave, any deviation from the normal pattern may signify some alarming conditions. These deviations can be utilized as input to classifiers for the detection of false alarms; hence, there is no need for other feature extraction techniques. Feed-forward ANN with the Lavenberg–Marquardt algorithm has shown higher rate of convergence than other neural network algorithms which helps provide better accuracy with no overfitting.
PurposeCoal is a critical global energy source, and fluctuations in its price significantly impact related enterprises' profitability. This study aims to develop a robust model for predicting the coal price index to enhance coal purchase strategies for coal-consuming enterprises and provide crucial information for global carbon emission reduction.Design/methodology/approachThe proposed coal price forecasting system combines data decomposition, semi-supervised feature engineering, ensemble learning and deep learning. It addresses the challenge of merging low-resolution and high-resolution data by adaptively combining both types of data and filling in missing gaps through interpolation for internal missing data and self-supervision for initiate/terminal missing data. The system employs self-supervised learning to complete the filling of complex missing data.FindingsThe ensemble model, which combines long short-term memory, XGBoost and support vector regression, demonstrated the best prediction performance among the tested models. It exhibited superior accuracy and stability across multiple indices in two datasets, namely the Bohai-Rim steam-coal price index and coal daily settlement price.Originality/valueThe proposed coal price forecasting system stands out as it integrates data decomposition, semi-supervised feature engineering, ensemble learning and deep learning. Moreover, the system pioneers the use of self-supervised learning for filling in complex missing data, contributing to its originality and effectiveness.
PurposeForecasting population movement trends is crucial for implementing effective policies to regulate labor force growth and understand demographic changes. Combining migration theory expertise and neural network technology can bring a fresh perspective to international migration forecasting research.Design/methodology/approachThis study proposes a conditional generative adversarial neural network model incorporating the migration knowledge – conditional generative adversarial network (MK-CGAN). By using the migration knowledge to design the parameters, MK-CGAN can effectively address the limited data problem, thereby enhancing the accuracy of migration forecasts.FindingsThe model was tested by forecasting migration flows between different countries and had good generalizability and validity. The results are robust as the proposed solutions can achieve lesser mean absolute error, mean squared error, root mean square error, mean absolute percentage error and R2 values, reaching 0.9855 compared to long short-term memory (LSTM), gated recurrent unit, generative adversarial network (GAN) and the traditional gravity model.Originality/valueThis study is significant because it demonstrates a highly effective technique for predicting international migration using conditional GANs. By incorporating migration knowledge into our models, we can achieve prediction accuracy, gaining valuable insights into the differences between various model characteristics. We used SHapley Additive exPlanations to enhance our understanding of these differences and provide clear and concise explanations for our model predictions. The results demonstrated the theoretical significance and practical value of the MK-CGAN model in predicting international migration.
Purpose Process mining has emerged in the last decade as one of the most promising tools to discover and understand the actual execution of processes. This paper addresses the application of process mining techniques to analyze the performance of automatic guided vehicles (AGVs) in one of the Body in White circuits of the factory that Stellantis has in Vigo, Spain. Design/methodology/approach Standard process mining discovery and conformance algorithms are applied to analyze the different AGV execution paths, their lead times, main sources and identify any unexpected potential situations, such as unexpected paths or loops. Findings Results show that this method provides very useful insights which are not evident for logistics technicians. Even with such automated devices, where the room for decreased efficiency can be apparently small, process mining shows there are cases where unexpected situations occur, leading to an increase in circuit times and different variants for the same route, which pave the road for an actual improvement in performance and efficiency. Originality/value This paper provides evidence of the usefulness of applying process mining in manufacturing processes. Practical applications of process mining have traditionally been focused on processes related to services and management, such as order to cash and purchase to pay in enterprise resource planning software. Despite its potential for use in industrial manufacturing, such contributions are scarce in the current state of the art and, as far as we are aware of, do not fully justify its application.
PurposeWith the continuous increase of users, resources and tags, social tagging systems gradually present the characteristics of “big data” such as large number, fast growth, complexity and unreliable quality, which greatly increases the complexity of recommendation. The contradiction between the efficiency and effectiveness of recommendation service in social tagging is increasingly becoming prominent. The purpose of this study is to incorporate topic optimization into collaborative filtering to enhance both the effectiveness and the efficiency of personalized recommendations for social tagging.Design/methodology/approachCombining the idea of optimization before service, this paper presents an approach that incorporates topic optimization into collaborative recommendations for social tagging. In the proposed approach, the recommendation process is divided into two phases of offline topic optimization and online recommendation service to achieve high-quality and efficient personalized recommendation services. In the offline phase, the tags' topic model is constructed and then used to optimize the latent preference of users and the latent affiliation of resources on topics.FindingsExperimental evaluation shows that the proposed approach improves both precision and recall of recommendations, as well as enhances the efficiency of online recommendations compared with the three baseline approaches. The proposed topic optimization–incorporated collaborative recommendation approach can achieve the improvement of both effectiveness and efficiency for the recommendation in social tagging.Originality/valueWith the support of the proposed approach, personalized recommendation in social tagging with high quality and efficiency can be achieved.
PurposeThe increasing popularity of music streaming services also increases the need to customize the services for each user to attract and retain customers. Most of the music streaming services will not have explicit ratings for songs; they will have only implicit feedback data, i.e user listening history. For efficient music recommendation, the preferences of the users have to be infered, which is a challenging task.Design/methodology/approachPreferences of the users can be identified from the users' listening history. In this paper, a hybrid music recommendation system is proposed that infers features from user's implicit feedback and uses the hybrid of content-based and collaborative filtering method to recommend songs. A Content Boosted K-Nearest Neighbours (CBKNN) filtering technique was proposed, which used the users' listening history, popularity of songs, song features, and songs of similar interested users for recommending songs. The song features are taken as content features. Song Frequency–Inverse Popularity Frequency (SF-IPF) metric is proposed to find the similarity among the neighbours in collaborative filtering. Million Song Dataset and Echo Nest Taste Profile Subset are used as data sets.FindingsThe proposed CBKNN technique with SF-IPF similarity measure to identify similar interest neighbours performs better than other machine learning techniques like linear regression, decision trees, random forest, support vector machines, XGboost and Adaboost. The performance of proposed SF-IPF was tested with other similarity metrics like Pearson and Cosine similarity measures, in which SF-IPF results in better performance.Originality/valueThis method was devised to infer the user preferences from the implicit feedback data and it is converted as rating preferences. The importance of adding content features with collaborative information is analysed in hybrid filtering. A new similarity metric SF-IPF is formulated to identify the similarity between the users in collaborative filtering.
PurposeThe purpose of the present study is to identify the active and dead links of uniform resource locators (URLs) associated with web references and to compare the effectiveness of Chrome, Google and WayBack Machine in retrieving the dead URLs.Design/methodology/approachThe web references of the Library Hi Tech from 2004 to 2008 were selected for analysis to fulfill the set objectives. The URLs were extracted from the articles to verify their accessibility in terms of persistence and decay. The URLs were then executed directly in the internet browser (Chrome), search engine (Google) and Internet Archive (WayBack Machine). The collected data were recorded in an excel file and presented in tables/diagrams for further analysis.FindingsFrom the total of 1,083 web references, a maximum number was retrieved by the WayBack Machine (786; 72.6 per cent) followed by Google (501; 46.3 per cent) and the lowest by Chrome (402; 37.1 per cent). The study concludes that the WayBack Machine is more efficient, retrieves a maximum number of missing web citations and fulfills the mission of preservation of web sources to a larger extent.Originality/valueA good number of studies have been conducted to analyze the persistence and decay of web-references; however, the present study is unique as it compared the dead URL retrieval effectiveness of internet explorer (Chrome), search engine giant (Google) and WayBack Machine of the Internet Archive.Research limitations/implicationsThe web references of a single journal, namely, Library Hi Tech, were analyzed for 5 years only. A major study across disciplines and sources may yield better results.Practical implicationsURL decay is becoming a major problem in the preservation and citation of web resources. The study has some healthy recommendations for authors, editors, publishers, librarians and web designers to improve the persistence of web references.
PurposeUnstructured data such as images have defied usage in property valuation for a long time. Instead, structured data in tabular format are commonly employed to estimate property prices. This study attempts to quantify the shape of land lots and uses the resultant output as an input variable for subsequent land valuation models.Design/methodology/approachImagery data containing land lot shapes are fed into a convolutional neural network, and the shape of land lots is classified into two categories, regular and irregular-shaped. Then, the intermediate output (regularity score) is utilized in four downstream models to estimate land prices: random forest, gradient boosting, support vector machine and regression models.FindingsQuantification of the land lot shapes and their exploitation in valuation led to an improvement in the predictive accuracy for all subsequent models.Originality/valueThe study findings are expected to promote the adoption of elusive price determinants such as the shape of a land lot, appearance of a house and the landscape of a neighborhood in property appraisal practices.
Purpose A clickbait is a deceptive headline designed to boost ad revenue without presenting closely relevant content. There are numerous negative repercussions of clickbait, such as causing viewers to feel tricked and unhappy, causing long-term confusion, and even attracting cyber criminals. Automatic detection algorithms for clickbait have been developed to address this issue. The fact that there is only one semantic representation for the same term and a limited dataset in Chinese is a need for the existing technologies for detecting clickbait. This study aims to solve the limitations of automated clickbait detection in the Chinese dataset. Design/methodology/approach This study combines both to train the model to capture the probable relationship between clickbait news headlines and news content. In addition, part-of-speech elements are used to generate the most appropriate semantic representation for clickbait detection, improving clickbait detection performance. Findings This research successfully compiled a dataset containing up to 20,896 Chinese clickbait news articles. This collection contains news headlines, articles, categories and supplementary metadata. The suggested context-aware clickbait detection (CA-CD) model outperforms existing clickbait detection approaches on many criteria, demonstrating the proposed strategy's efficacy. Originality/value The originality of this study resides in the newly compiled Chinese clickbait dataset and contextual semantic representation-based clickbait detection approach employing transfer learning. This method can modify the semantic representation of each word based on context and assist the model in more precisely interpreting the original meaning of news articles.
