Enhancing Stock Market Trend Prediction Using Explainable Artificial Intelligence and Multi-source Data
Determining the trend of the stock market is a complex task influenced by numerous factors like fundamental variables, company performance, investor behavior, sentiments expressed in social media, etc. Although machine learning models support predicting stock market trends using historical or social media data, reliance on a single data source poses a serious challenge. This study introduces a novel Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) to address a binary classification problem wherein the objective is to predict the trend of the stock market, utilizing an integration of multiple data sources. The dataset includes trading data, news and Twitter sentiment, and technical indicators. Sentiment analysis and the Natural Language Toolkit are utilized to extract the qualitative information from social media data. Technical indicators, or quantitative characteristics, are therefore generated from trade data. The technical indicators are fused with the stock sentiment features to predict the future stock market trend. Finally, a machine learning model is employed for upward or downward stock trend predictions. The proposed model in this study incorporates XAI to interpret the results. The presented model is evaluated using five bank stocks, and the results are promising, outperforming other models by reporting a mean accuracy of 90.14%. Additionally, the proposed model is explainable, exposing the rationale behind the classifier and furnishing a complete set of interpretations for the attained outcomes. 2024, American Scientific Publishing Group (ASPG).

Enhancing stochastic optimization: investigating fixed points of chaotic maps for global optimization
Chaotic maps, despite their deterministic nature, can introduce controlled randomness into optimization algorithms. This chaotic map behaviour helps overcome the lack of mathematical validation in traditional stochastic methods. The chaotic optimization algorithm (COA) uses chaotic maps that help it achieve faster convergence and escape local optima. The effective use of these maps to find the global optimum would be possible only with a complete understanding of them, especially their fixed points. In chaotic maps, fixed points repeat indefinitely, disrupting the map's characteristic unpredictability. While using chaotic maps for global optimization, it is crucial to avoid starting the search at fixed points and implement corrective measures if they arise in between the sequence. This paper outlines strategies for addressing fixed points and provides a numerical evaluation (using Newton's method) of the fixed points for 20 widely used chaotic maps. By appropriately handling fixed points, researchers and practitioners across diverse fields can avoid costly failures, improve accuracy, and enhance the reliability of their systems. 2024 Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science.

Enhancing Reliability and Accuracy in Wind Energy Forecast Using CNN-LSTM Hybrid Model
The global shift to sustainable energy is increasing the demand for wind energy. Accurate forecasting becomes crucial for renewable energy systems to function effectively in terms of resource allocation, grid management, and overall reliability. The need for wind energy is growing as a result of the worlds transition to sustainable energy. For renewable energy systems to operate efficiently in terms of resource allocation, grid management, and overall reliability, accurate forecasting becomes essential. It is challenging for current forecasting methods to correctly predict the dynamic nature of wind energy demand. For utilities and grid managers, the inherent variability and unpredictability in wind energy generation pose serious issues. The forecasting models that are now in use are challenged by the variable and sporadic character of wind energy generation. This makes it more difficult to integrate wind energy into the electrical grid effectively and increases the risk of grid instability and inefficient resource utilization. This research addresses these challenges by proposing a hybrid forecasting model that integrates the strengths of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). By capturing both spatial and temporal dependencies in wind data, the hybrid model aims to enhance accuracy and reliability in wind energy forecasts. The precise forecasting of wind energy is made more difficult by shifting weather patterns, changing environmental factors, and shifting patterns of energy usage. Improving the forecasting models accuracy and dependability in the renewable energy industry requires addressing these difficulties.
