Impact of online information on the pricing and profits of firms with different levels of brand reputation

Xinyu Sun, Yan Zhang, Juan Feng

Summary: This study investigates the impact of online information on brand reputation and brand premium in the online market. The findings suggest that the presence of online information may change the situation of brand premium, and firms with lower reputation can potentially earn higher profits under certain conditions. Additionally, as the gap in brand reputation increases, the profits of both firms may also increase, leading to a win-win situation in brand competition.

A reliable adaptive prototype-based learning for evolving data streams with limited labels

Salah Ud Din, Aman Ullah, Cobbinah B. Mawuli, Qinli Yang, Junming Shao

Summary: Data stream mining faces challenges of concept drift and evolution. Existing learning algorithms require class labels for all data points, but the rapid pace of data streams often leads to label scarcity. To address this, we propose an adaptive, data-driven, prototype-based semi-supervised learning framework that uses dynamic prototypes to handle evolving data streams and achieve improved data abstraction and detection of novel classes.

Retrieval Contrastive Learning for Aspect-Level Sentiment Classification

Zhongquan Jian, Jiajian Li, Qingqiang Wu, Junfeng Yao

Summary: Aspect-Level Sentiment Classification (ALSC) is a crucial challenge in Natural Language Processing (NLP). Most existing methods fail to consider the correlations between different instances, leading to a lack of global viewpoint. To address this issue, we propose a Retrieval Contrastive Learning (RCL) framework that extracts intrinsic knowledge across instances for improved instance representation. Experimental results demonstrate that training ALSC models with RCL leads to substantial performance improvements.
