In this study, we explore the application of Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) and Radial Basis Function (RBF) algorithms in predicting and classifying stock prices, specifically amidst economic policy uncertainty. Stock market fluctuations are greatly influenced by economic policies implemented by governments and central banks. These policies can create uncertainty and volatility, which in turn makes accurate predictions and classifications of stock prices more challenging. By leveraging MLP and RBF algorithms, we aim to develop models that can effectively navigate these uncertainties and provide valuable insights to investors and financial analysts. The MLP algorithm, based on artificial neural networks, is able to learn complex patterns and relationships within financial data. The RBF algorithm, on the other hand, utilizes radial basis functions to capture non-linear relationships and identify hidden patterns within the data. By combining these algorithms, we aim to enhance the accuracy of stock price prediction and classification models. The results showed that both MLB and RBF predicted stock prices well for a group of countries using an index reflecting the impact of news on economic policy and expectations, where the MLB algorithm proved its ability to predict chain data. Countries were also classified according to stock price data and uncertainty in economic policy, allowing us to determine the best country to invest in according to the data. The uncertainty surrounding economic policy is what makes stock price forecasting so crucial. Investors must consider the degree of economic policy uncertainty and how it affects asset prices when deciding how to allocate their assets.","PeriodicalId":325612,"journal":{"name":"Mesopotamian Journal of Big Data","volume":" 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141128727","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}

Zahid, Shahad Sabbar Joudar","doi":"10.58496/mjbd/2024/003","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.58496/mjbd/2024/003","url":null,"abstract":"Considering the prevailing rule of Large Language Models (LLMs) applications and the benefits of XML in a compiler context. This manuscript explores the synergistic integration of Large Language Models with XML-based compiler tools and advanced computing technologies. Marking a significant stride toward redefining compiler construction and data representation paradigms. As computing power and internet proliferation advance, XML emerges as a pivotal technology for representing, exchanging, and transforming documents and data. This study builds on the foundational work of Chomsky's Context-Free Grammar (CFG). Recognized for their critical role in compiler construction, to address and mitigate the speed penalties associated with traditional compiler systems and parser generators through the development of an efficient XML parser generator employing compiler techniques. Our research employs a methodical approach to harness the sophisticated capabilities of LLMs, alongside XML technologies. The key is to automate grammar optimization, facilitate natural language processing capabilities, and pioneer advanced parsing algorithms. To demonstrate their effectiveness, we thoroughly run experiments and compare them to other techniques. This way, we call attention to the efficiency, adaptability, and user-friendliness of the XML-based compiler tools with the help of these integrations. And the target will be the elimination of left-recursive grammars and the development of a global schema for LL(1) grammars, the latter taking advantage of the XML technology, to support the LL(1) grammars construction. The findings in this research not only underscore the signification of these innovations in the field of compilation construction but also indicate a paradigm move towards the use of AI technologies and XML in the context of the resolution of programming traditional issues. The outlined methodology serves as a roadmap for future research and development in compiler technology, which paves the way for open-source software to sweep across all fields. Gradually ushering in a new era of compiler technology featuring better efficiency, adaptability, and all CFGs processed through existing XML utilities on a global basis.","PeriodicalId":325612,"journal":{"name":"Mesopotamian Journal of Big Data","volume":" 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140388980","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}

Rapid development of mitigation strategies and solutions is imperative but relies profoundly on advancements in detection, attribution, and prediction derived from climate data analytics. This paper examines the growing role of data science in not only quantifying anthropogenic climate change but also informing impact assessment and targeted intervention across climate-sensitive sectors. First, we survey established and emerging techniques for climate characterization, including machine learning applications on Earth systems data. Next, we discuss how sophisticated climate models alongside statistical analysis of multi-domain datasets—from migration patterns to crop yields—deepens scientific comprehension of climate change repercussions. Building on these insights, we spotlight data-enabled solution paradigms enabling smart climate action, ranging from high-resolution climate risk mapping, emissions reductions via optimized renewable energy infrastructure, to global warming suppression via solar radiation management. However, we also carefully examine the practical limitations hindering deployment and the ethical concerns posed by certain climate intervention proposals.

High energy consumption not only results in higher operational costs but also creates sustainability concerns related to cloud infrastructure and services. This paper proposes leveraging big data techniques such as machine learning and predictive analytics to optimize resource allocation and reduce energy consumption in mobile cloud computing. The massive amount of data on factors like user behavior, mobility patterns, network availability, and resource utilization can provide key insights to improve energy efficiency. We present an intelligent predictive framework to forecast mobile cloud resource demands and enable dynamic scaling of cloud configurations aligned to current needs. By proactively adapting cloud resources based on learned models and detected usage patterns, over-provisioning and under-utilization can be minimized. Specifically, we demonstrate how clustering, classification, regression, and times series models derived from contextual usage data can significantly improve energy efficiency when integrated with mobile cloud management systems. The proposed approaches are validated experimentally using simulated workloads and real-world trajectory data sets. Results indicate average energy savings of 42% and up to 62% for certain user groups compared to conventional cloud resource allocation techniques.
