Embracing bank-FinTech strategic collaboration (FSC) has been particularly vital to digital transformation of Chinese city commercial bank. The aim of this paper is to study the impact of FSC on the efficiency of city commercial banks. Using data from Chinese city commercial banks between 2014 and 2019, we first measure bank efficiency scores using stochastic frontier approach. Moreover, we employ the propensity score matching approach and the difference in difference estimation to explore the effect of FSC on bank efficiency. We find that FSC significantly improves bank cost and interest revenue efficiency in the aggregate. Our results also indicate that the positive relationship between FSC and cost efficiency is negatively associated with bank ownership concentration. In addition, the positive effects of FSC on revenue efficiency are weaker in state-owned city banks than in non-state-owned city banks.","PeriodicalId":13957,"journal":{"name":"Int.

This is because most of the datasets collected from educational records are imbalanced by nature. Some classes dominate others and cause bias predictions. This paper studies the effects of the imbalanced classes on the performance of seven different classifiers, which are J48, Random Forest, k-Nearest Neighbors, Naïve Bayes, Random Tree, SVM, and Linear Regression. Moreover, the effectiveness of the SMOTE technique for handling imbalanced data is evaluated against these classifiers. This will be done through the proposal of an early predictive model that predicts student’s academic performance and recommends their appropriate department in a multi-disciplinary institute. According to our results, the Random Forest technique is the best and has the highest level of accuracy is 94.585%.","PeriodicalId":13957,"journal":{"name":"Int.

For a specified 64-tap FIR filter, a classical modulo adder tree is substituted by a binary adder with enhanced accuracy pursued by a single modulo reduction stage and as a result reducing the area constraints by approximately 18%. When compared to the three-multiplier-per-tap two's complement filter, the index arithmetic complex FIR filter that is based on the Quadratic Residue Number System outperforms by approximately 75% and at the same time involving some LEs for filters with more than 8 taps.

Notwithstanding, their e-publishing initiatives, emerging business models and competitive e-collaboration with global distribution giants are yet to be adequately interrogated from an empirical perspective. This study, therefore, describes the progression of e-publishing from the perspective of e-collaboration. In-depth interviews, website observation and survey methods were employed in data collection; and 97 purposively selected publishing firms filled out a questionnaire offline whereas online data were collected from 82 available publishing websites. Findings indicate that publishers are building e-publishing capacity by launching websites, e-book clubs and online bookshops, collaborating with global giants for distribution, thereby increasing output significantly. This study updates the history of e-publishing, providing hitherto unavailable information on the progression of digital publishing in Africa's largest economy.","PeriodicalId":13957,"journal":{"name":"Int.

Therefore, Noise Regularized Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit (Bi-GRU) with Self-Attention Layer (SAL) is proposed for the classification of text and emoji. The proposed Noise Regularized Bi-GRU which is an aspect-based sentiment analysis performs a series of experiments on Twitter data to predict the sentiment of a tweet.

This problem motivated to develop many low computational complexity methods to encrypt these medical images. In this research work, Block Cipher based Region of interest medical image encryption with multiple maps is proposed. Primarily, Region of Interest (ROI) regions and Region of Background (ROB) are extracted with the help of Laplacian edge detection operator. Further important ROI regions are permuted in a circular fashion with the help of Arnold cat map and angle value. Then permuted ROI part is encrypted using the duffling system and unimportant regions are unchanged. The advantage of proposed work is that encrypt only selected/important part and that will achieve fast execution speed and reduction in computation complexity. The approach presented here enables the storage and transmission of medical image data within an open network. These results show that the security in the proposed method is much better than many chaotic encryption algorithms proposed in the recent times.","PeriodicalId":13957,"journal":{"name":"Int.
