Neural network and Markov based combination prediction algorithm of video popularity by Xuesen MA, Shuyou CHEN, Xiangdong XU, Zhaokun CHU

“…Caching popular video into user-side in advance improves the user experience and reduces operator costs, which is a common practice in the industry.How to effectively predict the popularity of videos has become a hot issue in the industry.On account of the shortcomings of traditional prediction algorithms such as poor nonlinear mapping ability, low prediction accuracy and weak adaptability, a video popularity prediction algorithm based on a neural network and Markov combined model (Mar-BiLSTM) was proposed.Information dependencies were preserved by constructing bidirectional memory network model (bi-directional long short-term memory, BiLSTM), the prediction accuracy of the model was further improved by using Markov properties while avoiding the increase of the complexity of the model caused by the introduction of external variables.Experimental results show that compared with traditional time series and classic neural network algorithms, the proposed algorithm improves predicting accuracy, effectiveness and reduces the amount of calculation.…”

CEO political orientation and loan contract by Chune Young Chung, Changhwan Choi, Do Thi Thanh Nhan

“…Abstract Banks rely on soft information when assessing loan applications, making it crucial to evaluate the trustworthiness of potential borrowers in order to set loan conditions, even in a legal environment where contractual rights are straightforwardly enforced. Given the common belief that certain personality traits—such as trustworthiness, reliability, loyalty, thriftiness, and stinginess—are more often linked to conservatives (Republicans) than to liberals (Democrats), we investigate whether companies with conservative chief executive officers (CEOs) secure more advantageous loan terms compared to others. …”
