The INSRT project short for INterpreted Sentiment in Real Time performs sentiment polarity classi cation on German tweets in real time. Classi cation of sentiment polarity in social media has become an important tool for reputation monitoring and trend analysis. For INSRT, we monitor the list of currently trending topics provided by the Twitter microblogging service and classify the tweets conc...

Fieldand petrographic studies of the Paleozoic metamorphic rocks of New York City suggest a new interpretation of the stratigraphy and structure of the region and has delineated a number of ductileand brittle faults. The belt of rocks originally lumped together as the Manhattan Schist is now interpreted to consist of three mappable units structurally imbricated by two major ductile faults, the ...

New U-Pb monazite ages from amphibolite-facies metasedimentary rocks the Tennant Region, Murphy Inlier and intervening East area, together with existing data, reveal presence of an 1860–1840 Ma tectono-magmatic domain over 600 km long towards centre North Australian Craton. In-situ ion probe dating biotite-hosted in schist Region yielded age 1858 ± 7 Ma, which is attributed to north–south short...

Katla volcano is situated in the south of Iceland, and is largely covered by the Mýrdalsjökull ice cap. Historically, Katla is one of the most active of Iceland’s volcanoes, with 20 eruptions in the last 1100 years, the last one being in 1918. The proximity of populated areas and international flight paths makes prediction of the timing and character of any future eruption particularly importan...

The geomorphic character of major river drainages in the Himalayan foothills of central Nepal suggests the existence of a discrete, west-northwest–trending break in rock uplift rates that does not correspond to previously mapped faults. The 40Ar/39Ar thermochronologic data from detrital muscovites with provenance from both sides of the discontinuity indicate that this geomorphic break also corr...

Twitter, a microblogging service, has evolved into a powerful communication platform with millions of active users who generate immense volume of microposts on a daily basis. To facilitate effective categorization and easy search, users adopt hashtags, keywords or phrases preceded by hash (#) character. Successful prediction of the spread and propagation of information in the form of trending t...

This paper presents a study conducted in collaboration with large Canadian engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) firm to identify areas of improvement in the current process of progress reporting and forecasting project status at different targeted future dates. The study focused mainly on trending and time/Cost control of engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) pr...

We discuss some challenges presented by trending data in time series econometrics. To the empirical economist there is little guidance from theory about the source of trend behavior and even less guidance about practical formulations. Moreover, recent proximity theorems reveal that trends are more elusive to model empirically than stationary processes, with the upshot that optimal forecasts are...

This paper investigates whether incorporating sentiment extracted from Twitter’s trending topics would improve the intra-day exchange rate predictions. What makes this paper unique is that unlike previous similar studies which only consider tweets that contain the symbol or the name of the currency or stock, it looks at all trending topics irrespective of whether they contain the name or the sy...
