The volume of data is growing exponentially and becoming more valuable to organizations that collect it, from e-commerce data, shipping, audio and video logs, text messages, internet search queries, stock market activity, financial transactions, the Internet of Things, and various other sources. The major challenges are related with the way to extract insights from such a rich data environment and whether Deep Learning can be successful with Big Data. To get some insight on these topics, social network data are employed as a case study on how sentiments can affect decisions in stock market environments. In this paper, we propose a generalized Deep Learning-based classification framework for Stock Market Sentiment Analysis. This work comprises the study, the development, and implementation of an automatic classification system based on Deep Learning and the validation of its adequacy and efficiency in any scenario, particularly Stock Market Sentiment Analysis. Distinct datasets and several Deep Learning approaches with different layers and embedded techniques are used, and their performances are evaluated. These developments show how Deep Learning reacts to distinct contexts. The results also give context on how different techniques with different parameter combinations react to certain types of data. Convolution obtained the best results when dealing with complex data inputs, and long short-term layers kept a memory of data, allowing inputs which are not as common to still be considered for decisions. The models that resulted from Stock Market Sentiment Analysis datasets were applied with some success to real-life problems. The best models reached accuracies of 73% in training and 69% in certain test datasets. In a simulation, a model was able to provide a Return on Investment of 4.4%. The results contribute to understanding how to process Big Data efficiently using Deep Learning and specialized hardware techniques. Full article

The emerging areas of IoT and sensor networks bring lots of software applications on a daily basis. To keep up with the ever-changing expectations of clients and the competitive market, the software must be updated. The changes may cause unintended consequences, necessitating retesting, i.e., regression testing, before being released. The efficiency and efficacy of regression testing techniques can be improved with the use of optimization approaches. This paper proposes an improved quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization approach for regression testing. The algorithm is improved by employing a fix-up mechanism to perform perturbation for the combinatorial TCP problem. Second, the dynamic contraction-expansion coefficient is used to accelerate the convergence. It is followed by an adaptive test case selection strategy to choose the modification-revealing test cases. Finally, the superfluous test cases are removed. Furthermore, the algorithm’s robustness is analyzed for fault as well as statement coverage. The empirical results reveal that the proposed algorithm performs better than the Genetic Algorithm, Bat Algorithm, Grey Wolf Optimization, Particle Swarm Optimization and its variants for prioritizing test cases. The findings show that inclusivity, test selection percentage and cost reduction percentages are higher in the case of fault coverage compared to statement coverage but at the cost of high fault detection loss (approx. 7%) at the test case reduction stage.

This paper proposes a dual-channel network of a sustainable Closed-Loop Supply Chain (CLSC) for rice considering energy sources and consumption tax. A Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model is formulated for optimizing the total cost, the amount of pollutants, and the number of job opportunities created in the proposed supply chain network under the uncertainty of cost, supply, and demand. In addition, to deal with uncertainty, fuzzy logic is used. Moreover, four multi-objective metaheuristic algorithms are employed to solve the model, which include a novel multi-objective version of the recently proposed metaheuristic algorithm known as Multi-Objective Reptile Search Optimizer (MORSO), Multi-Objective Simulated Annealing (MOSA), Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO), and Multi-Objective Grey Wolf (MOGWO). All the algorithms are evaluated using LP-metric in small sizes and their results and performance are compared based on criteria such as Max Spread (MS), Spread of Non-Dominance Solution (SNS), the number of Pareto solutions (NPS), Mean Ideal Distance (MID), and CPU time. In addition, to achieve better results, the parameters of all algorithms are tuned by the Taguchi method. The programmed model is implemented using a real case study in Iran to confirm its accuracy and efficiency. To further evaluate the current model, some key parameters are subject to sensitivity analysis. Empirical results indicate that MORSO performed very well and by constructing solar panel sites and producing energy out of rice waste up to 19% of electricity can be saved. Full article
