Our model yields superior results as compared to baseline and state-of-the-art models evaluated using MAE and RMSE. Moreover, we employed a modern evaluation criterion based on the methodology advocated by Diebold–Mariano, known as the Diebold–Mariano test (DM test), as a new criterion for evaluation based on statistical hypothesis tests. DM test has been applied in this study to distinguish the significant differences in forecasting accuracy between LSTM with attention and other models. From the results and according to DM-test it is observed that the differences between the forecasting performances of models are significant and that attention mechanism could enhance the accuracy in predicting stock prices by allowing the model to prioritize and concentrate on the most important features and patterns in the data while avoiding overfitting and noise.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100699,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information Management Data Insights","volume":"5 2","pages":"Article 100350"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144330579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moroccan Darija (MD), widely spoken in Morocco, lacks language resources and dedicated models. Additionally, MD texts often employ the Arabizi writing form, which combines Latin characters and numbers with Arabic script, further complicating Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks.

The approach leverages a character-level modeling architecture and a semi-automatically generated dataset containing over 33k word pairs, capturing significant linguistic diversity.

To address this, we introduce <strong>MultiBanFakeDetect</strong>, a novel multimodal dataset integrating both textual and visual information. This dataset comprises manually curated real and fake news samples from various online sources. Additionally, we propose <strong>MultiFusionFake</strong>, a hybrid multimodal fake news detection framework that fuses text and image modalities using an Early Fusion approach while also comparing Late and Intermediate fusion techniques. Our experiments show that MultiFusionFake, combining DenseNet-169 and mBERT, achieves 79.69% accuracy, outperforming the text-only mBERT model’s 73.13%, reflecting a 6.56 percentage point improvement. These results underscore the advantages of multimodal over unimodal methods.

Data were collected from 504 undergraduate students at leading universities in Vietnam, using a stratified sampling approach. The results demonstrate that artificial intelligence literacy significantly enhances e-entrepreneurial self-efficacy and e-entrepreneurial identity aspiration, which are essential psychological mechanisms for driving entrepreneurial intention.

The review identifies a regional concentration of PTs’ MIL research in Europe and Asia. This demonstrates how regional settings and national policies have a significant impact on MIL research, as do differences in terminology usage and conceptual understanding. However, aspects of PTs’ MIL that support teaching practices remain underexplored in the existing literature, indicating a critical gap in preparing PTs for their roles as educators. Concerns regarding the credibility of results are further raised by the extensive use of self-reported assessments. Furthermore, because they have a big impact on PTs' MIL abilities, demographic factors including gender and regional discrepancies need constant monitoring.

A mixed method approach involving both quantitative and qualitative approaches was applied to system and usage data collected from these systems as well as a user survey. The analysis illustrates the potential significance of integrating virtualisation and work design in BPM systems. We provide a reflective discussion linking theoretical understanding with empirical evidence. We found that both components not only enhanced the performance and effectiveness of BPM systems, but also improved flexibility, scalability, and user experience. The data supports that a relationship between virtualised resources and work design exists when incorporated into BPM system design. Further, it provides valuable insights into how these elements interact and impact each other. The findings in this study contribute to building a case that establishes the effect of virtualisation and work design on the usability of BPM systems.
