Supervised Autoencoder MLP for Financial Time Series Forecasting
This paper investigates the enhancement of financial time series forecasting with the use of neural networks through supervised autoencoders, aiming to improve investment strategy performance. It specifically examines the impact of noise augmentation and triple barrier labeling on risk-adjusted returns, using the Sharpe and Information Ratios. The study focuses on the S&P 500 index, EUR/USD, and BTC/USD as the traded assets from January 1, 2010, to April 30, 2022. Findings indicate that supervi…

On the $(1^2,2^4)$-packing edge-coloring of subcubic graphs

On the $(1^2,2^4)$-packing edge-coloring of subcubic graphs
An induced matching in a graph $G$ is a matching such that its end vertices also induce a matching. A $(1^{\ell}, 2^k)$-packing edge-coloring of a graph $G$ is a partition of its edge set into disjoint unions of $\ell$ matchings and $k$ induced matchings. Gastineau and Togni (2019), as well as Hocquard, Lajou, and Lužar (2022), have conjectured that every subcubic graph is $(1^2,2^4)$-packing edge-colorable. In this paper, we confirm that their conjecture is true (for connected subcubic graphs…

Deneb is a Large Amplitude Polarimetric Variable

Deneb is a Large Amplitude Polarimetric Variable
We write to report the discovery that Deneb is a large amplitude polarization variable. Over a ~400 d time span from August 2022 Deneb's polarization was typically around 3900 parts-per-million (ppm) in the SDSS g'-band. Yet, it varied by several hundred ppm in an irregular way on a timescale of weeks. The largest polarization change, amounting to 2500 ppm, occurred shortly after the last pulsation ``resumption'' event identified by Abt et al. (2023) in TESS photometry. The relationship between…

Analyzing Trendy Twitter Hashtags in the 2022 French Election
Regressions trained to predict the future activity of social media users need rich features for accurate predictions. Many advanced models exist to generate such features; however, the time complexities of their computations are often prohibitive when they run on enormous data-sets. Some studies have shown that simple semantic network features can be rich enough to use for regressions without requiring complex computations. We propose a method for using semantic networks as user-level features …

Alexander Mattison: His Usage With The Las Vegas Raiders
2024’s NFL free agency is in full swing, and the Las Vegas Raiders remain active in the open market. On Monday, the team agreed to terms with another free agent, this time landing now-former Vikings running back Alexander Mattison. Mattison, who posted a career-high 180 rushing attempts in 2023, has carried the ball at least 100 times during three separate campaigns. For Luke Getsy, the Raiders’ new offensive coordinator, that mark holds significance. In both 2022 and 2023, three players to…

Connectivity keeping trees in 3-connected bipartite graphs with girth conditions
Luo, Tian and Wu conjectured in 2022 that for any tree $T$ with bipartition $X$ and $Y$, every $k$-connected bipartite graph $G$ with $δ(G) \geq k + t$, where $t = \max\{|X|,|Y |\}$, contains a subtree $T' \cong T$ such that $G-V(T')$ remains $k$-connected. This conjecture has been proved for caterpillars and spiders when $k\leq 3$; and for paths with odd order. In this paper, we prove that this conjecture holds if $G$ is a bipartite graph with $g(G)\geq diam(T)-1$ and $k\l…

Cowboys insider names three new options for QB2 in Dallas
Neither Cooper Rush nor Trey Lance are on the last days of their contracts in Dallas, but that doesn’t mean the Cowboys won’t look to upgrade at the spot behind starting quarterback Dak Prescott this offseason. Prescott needed no help in 2023, save for some fourth-quarter relief, but as Rush proved in 2022, a backup quarterback can make or break your season. Almost half of the NFL’s 32 teams needed their backups to play significant snaps this season, including the Jets, Vikings, Colts, Be…

On 13-Crossing-Critical Graphs with Arbitrarily Large Degrees
A recent result of Bokal et al. [Combinatorica, 2022] proved that the exact minimum value of c such that c-crossing-critical graphs do not have bounded maximum degree is c=13. The key to that result is an inductive construction of a family of 13-crossing-critical graphs with many vertices of arbitrarily high degrees. While the inductive part of the construction is rather easy, it all relies on the fact that a certain 17-vertex base graph has the crossing number 13, which was originally verified…
