Nonlinearity and Topology
The interplay of nonlinearity and topology results in many novel and emergent
properties across a number of physical systems such as chiral magnets, nematic
liquid crystals, Bose-Einstein condensates, photonics, high energy physics,
etc. It also results in a wide variety of topological defects such as solitons,
vortices, skyrmions, merons, hopfions, monopoles to name just a few.
Interaction among and collision of these nontrivial defects itself is a topic
of great interest. Curvature and underlying geometry also affect the shape,
interaction and behavior of these defects. Such properties can be studied using
techniques such as, e.g. the Bogomolnyi decomposition. Some applications of
this interplay, e.g. in nonreciprocal photonics as well as topological
materials such as Dirac and Weyl semimetals, are also elucidated
Sentiment analysis on social media for stock movement prediction
International audienceThe goal of this research is to build a model to predict stock price movement using the sentiment from social media. Unlike previous approaches where the overall moods or sentiments are considered, the sentiments of the specific topics of the company are incorporated into the stock prediction model. Topics and related sentiments are automatically extracted from the texts in a message board by using our proposed method as well as existing topic models. In addition, this paper shows an evaluation of the effectiveness of the sentiment analysis in the stock prediction task via a large scale experiment. Comparing the accuracy average over 18 stocks in one year transaction, our method achieved 2.07% better performance than the model using historical prices only. Furthermore, when comparing the methods only for the stocks that are difficult to predict, our method achieved 9.83% better accuracy than historical price method, and 3.03% better than human sentiment method
