Satirical News Detection and Analysis using Attention Mechanism and Linguistic Features

Satirical news is considered to be entertainment, but it is potentially deceptive and harmful. Despite the embedded genre in the article, not everyone can recognize the satirical cues and therefore believe the news as true news. We observe that satirical cues are often reflected in certain paragraphs rather than the whole document. Existing works only consider document-level features to detect the satire, which could be limited. We consider paragraph-level linguistic features to unveil the satire by incorporating neural network and attention mechanism. We investigate the difference between paragraph-level features and document-level features, and analyze them on a large satirical news dataset. The evaluation shows that the proposed model detects satirical news effectively and reveals what features are important at which level.Comment: EMNLP 2017, 11 page

THE FISCAL AND ACCOUNTING IMPACT OF THE GOVERNMENT EMERGENCY ORDINANCE NO. 79/2017 REGARDING THE TRANSFER OF SOCIAL SECURITY CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE EMPLOYER TO THE EMPLOYEE

The multitude of legal changes in the fiscal and accounting field determines the professional accountant to find himself under a permanent turmoil due to the need to adapt on the go both of the accounting system and of the accounting policies in order to provide an accurate image of the entity assets, debts, financial position, profit or loss. The present article aims at clarifying some aspects and changes related to the social security contributions calculated for the incomes obtained by the taxpayers contributing both to the state budget and to the state social security budget in Romania

Quality management in higher education services

AbstractThe quality of university education has become a topic of major importance generated by the labour market that has narrowed a lot lately, and at the same time, it has become more demanding. A diploma granted even by a highly renowned university will no longer guarantee any employment in the field the graduate attended specialization. The higher education system quality is not only the students’ major concern, but also their parents’, as well as the prospective employers’, government and society in general, together with the university teachers and the entire staff, who actually provide a quality educational process

TOURIST MАRKET IN THE CURRENT POST-PANDEMIC CONTEXT

The negаtive effects of the COVID -19 pаndemic on the tourist trаffic аnd the tourism sector hаve been felt globаlly, but to different extents, depending on the tourism regions аnd countries. In Romаniа, the decreаse recorded in tourist trаffic during the pаndemic period hаs been severe, but within the limits of the аverаge recorded in Europeаn Union Member Stаtes аnd with considerаbly different vаlues, depending on the cаtegories of tourist destinаtions in the country. The mаin chаllenge for Romаniа remаins cаrrying out а lаrge-scаle promotion cаmpаign on the foreign mаrkets relаted to its tourist offer, given the modest results obtаined so fаr in аttrаcting foreign tourists, despite the tourism potentiаl thаt it hаs. The post-COVID-19 period could represent а reset of tourism in Romаniа

Mathematical modelling of a hierarchical framework for controlling NPD projects under a hard time constraint

Based on the hierarchical framework introduced in Dragut, Bertrand (2002) for the control of New Product Development (NPD) projects under a hard time constraint, we formulate mathematically the project control. The relationships with the well-known mathematical project models are discussed. The framework splits the project horizon into a number of review periods. At the start of each review period the project state is reviewed in order incorporate the new information about the customer needs, and about the progress the engineers made in working on design tasks. This leads to the addition/deletion of design tasks, and to a stochastic solving time of the design tasks. The paper contributes to the area of mathematical models for the organization of work in an NPD, and to the development of management-related control concepts in the NPD projects, both areas that present research opportunities according to Brown, Eisenhardt (1995)
