Predicting Football Players Market Value via Machine Learning
Football, arguably the most popular sport in the world, has become much more than just a sport, it is a multibillion-dollar industry with its center in Europe. Every year millions of euros are spent in transfer window to buy and sell players and a common theme that has been seen is players not living up to the price the clubs paid for them. This research aims to predict football players market values using machine learning techniques. Departing from traditional methods that broadly categorize players into positions like Goalkeeper, Defender, Midfielder, and Forward, this study provides a more nuanced approach by classifying players into specific roles such as Center-back, Full-back, Defensive Midfielder, Attacking Midfielder, and Winger. By incorporating performance metrics tailored to each position and weighing the performance indicators based on the relevance to that specific position, the research aims to provide a robust method to predict players market value within a negotiation tolerance range. Using data from the past three seasons, including detailed player performance statistics and contractual details, models were developed to assist clubs in making data-driven transfer decisions. Machine learning algorithms, including Random Forest Regressor and Light GBM, were utilized, with RMSE and R2 Score as evaluation metrics. Both algorithms demonstrated robust performance, with some positional models predicting market values within an acceptable error range of 312million, enabling clubs to negotiate transfer fees with greater precision based on empirical evidence of player performance.

Elevated N2O levels signal environmental issues, impacting aquatic life and necessitating precise forecasting for effective environmental management and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Precisely forecasting nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from riverbeds is paramount for effective environmental management, given its significant potency as a greenhouse gas. This study focuses on the difficulties related to spatial feature extraction and modeling accuracy in predicting N2O in riverbeds in Tamil Nadu. To address the obstacles, the research suggests utilizing the Deep Learning Based Prediction of Nitrous Oxide Contaminants (DL-PNOC), which studies the N2O contaminants in water using Region-based Convolutional Neural Network (RCNN) for spatial feature extraction, to predict nitrous oxide contaminants. The study is centered on the Cauvery River Basin located in Tamil Nadu, where the emission of N2O is a matter of environment. The outcomes encompass the specialized N2O contaminant model for riverbeds and the implementation of RCNN achieves precise N2O forecasting. The DL-PNOC approach combines a contaminant model with RCNN deep learning techniques to capture spatial characteristics and predict N2O pollutants accurately. Furthermore, using the River Bed Dynamics Simulator reinforces the dependability of the findings.

Predicting of Open Source Software Component Reusability Level Using Object-Oriented Metrics by Taguchi Approach
Component-based software development (CBSD) is an efficient approach used by software developers to develop new software. The commercial off the shelf (COTS) and open-source software (OSS) are two styles to implement CBSD. The COTS provides the interface and depicts the black-box behavior, but does not support several software quality characteristics. On the other hard, OSS is a more efficient approach compared to COTS due to its source code availability. This research aims to identify the reusability level of OSS components from an online repository of OSS. The OSS components are classified based on Chidamber and Kemerer reusability metrics (CK-metrics). This paper proposed a mathematical model to establish the relationship between the reusability of CK-metrics. Reusability level of OSS component has been measured and most effective CK-metrics obtained by applying the Taguchi design and analysis of variance (ANOVA). The input parameters for the experimental design are evaluated based on the OSS repository. Performance analysis has been carried out based upon the interaction effect between the reusability of CK-metrics. Main effect plots are created to identify the most reusable component of the OSS. The genetic algorithm (GA) is used to predict the optimized value of the different control parameters. The results indicate that the OSS component reusability level is 0.698194. The reusability of software has a significant effect on the quality of software. The quality of software can be improved by increasing the reusability of software components. 2021 World Scientific Publishing Company. -

Predicting Price Direction of Bitcoin based on Hybrid Model of LSTM and Dense Neural Network Approach
Bitcoin is a rapidly growing but extremely risky cryptocurrency. It marks a watershed moment in the history of cash. These days, digital currency is preferred to actual money. Bitcoin has decentralized authority and placed it in the hands of its users. Many people are joining the largest and most well-known Bitcoin mining pools as the risk of working alone is too great. In order to enhance their chances of creating the next block in the Bitcoins blockchain and decrease the mining reward volatility, users can band together to form Bitcoin pools. This tendency toward consolidation may also be seen in the rise of large-scale mining farms equipped with powerful mining resources and speedy processing capability. Because of the risk of a 51% assault, this pattern shows that Bitcoin's pure, decentralized protocol is moving toward greater centralization in its distribution network. Not to be overlooked is the resulting centralization of the bitcoin network as a result of cloud wallets making it simple for new users to join. Because of the easily hackable nature of Bitcoin technologies, this could lead to a wide range of security vulnerabilities. The proposed approach uses normalization and filling missing values in preprocessing, PCA for feature Extraction and finally training the model using LSTM-DNN Models. The proposed approach outperforms other two models such as CNN and DNN. 2023 IEEE. -

Predicting Stock Market Movements Through Multisource Data Fusion Graphs: An Approach Employing Graph Convolutional Neural Network
The stock market plays an important role in the capital market, and investigating price fluctuations in the stock market has consistently been a prominent subject for researchers. The application of soft computing techniques to predict and categorize stock market movements is a significant research challenge that has gathered considerable attention from researchers. Although several studies highlight the significance of incorporating information from two sources in stock movement prediction, the potential of advanced graphical techniques for modeling and analyzing multi-source data remains an unattended research area. This study aims to address this gap by introducing a novel model that utilizes multi-source data fusion graphs to predict future market movements. The primary challenge involves establishing a model that can effectively gather the relationships among various data sources and employ this understanding to improve prediction performance. Compared to several existing methods relying only on historical data or sentiment data, which show limited predictive power and lack generality, the proposed approach seeks to overcome these limitations. The proposed model integrates various information sources, including historical prices, news data, Twitter data, and technical indicators for predicting future stock market trends. This presented method involves constructing a subgraph map for each data type to capture events from both rising and falling markets. Then, a Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) is employed to aggregate the subgraph nodes. These aggregated nodes are then integrated with a Graph Convolutional Neural Network (GCNN) to classify the multi-source graph, therefore achieving stock market trend prediction effectively. To further validate its effectiveness, the presented model is applied to Indian stock market data, demonstrating its feasibility in fusing multi-source stock data and establishing its suitability for effectively predicting stock market movements. 2024 Seventh Sense Research Group -
