ANALYSIS OF TRANSFORMER-DEEP NEURAL NETWORK USING DEEP LEARNING

Transformers were first used for natural language processing (NLP) tasks, but they quickly spread to other deep learning fields, including computer vision. They assess the interdependence of pairs. Attention is a part that enables to dynamically highlight relevant features of the input data (words in the case of text strings, parts of images in the case of visual Transformers). The cost grows continually with the number of tokens. The most common Trans- former Architecture for image classification uses only the Transformer Encoder to transform the various input tokens. However, the decoder component of the traditional Transformer Architecture is also used in a variety of other applications. In this section, we first introduce the Attention Mechanism (Section 1), followed by the Basic Transformer Block, which includes the Vision Transformer (Section 2).

Nvidia and Bitcoin Linkage Study—Based on DCC-GARCH Model

This article quantifies the correlation between Bitcoin and NVIDIA using the DCC-GARCH model during the period of 2020-2023. We analyzed data from investing.com for this research. Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency based on blockchain technology, which involves mining by solving complex cryptographic puzzles. Mining refers to the process of verifying and recording Bitcoin transactions through computation, and acquiring newly generated Bitcoins as a contribution to network security and the distributed consensus mechanism. Therefore, it is important to understand the correlation between Bitcoin and graphics cards, especially with the expansion of the virtual currency market. Determining the correlation between Bitcoin mining and graphics cards can help miners optimize their hardware choices, investors better understand market potential, and manufacturers produce and develop graphics cards according to market demand. Due to the high computational requirements of Bitcoin mining, traditional central processing units (CPUs) are not well-suited for this task. On the other hand, graphics cards (graphics processing units, GPUs) have become the preferred hardware for Bitcoin mining due to their highly parallel computing capabilities. Consequently, we hypothesize the existence of a correlation between Bitcoin and graphics cards, which is further validated in subsequent sections.
Liquidity spillover in cryptocurrency markets

This study will investigate the liquidity spillover effects of five cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin, Ether, Binance-coin, Ripple, and Tether. Firstly, the researcher utilizes the Amihud illiquidity ratio to quantify the liquidity performance of the five currencies, which we treat as weekly for the purposes of our study due to data collecting constraints. Secondly, to quantify the liquidity spillover effect in the cryptocurrency market over the period of 2017-2022, the researcher employs Diebold and Yilmaz's spillover index. The results identify the senders and receivers of liquidity spillovers on an individual and pairwise basis for the five major currencies and demonstrate the presence of time variation. Additionally, this paper evaluates the news report-based cryptocurrency uncertainty index (UCRY). This includes the price of cryptocurrencies (UCRY price) and the uncertainty surrounding cryptocurrency policy (UCRY policy). Considering the constructed index follows the same path as the largest cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, it is therefore recommended that the Bitcoin price can be used to forecast the cryptocurrency uncertainty index. Overall, this study has filled a gap in the literature by conducting research on liquidity spillovers in cryptocurrency markets, and it presents some preliminary conclusions. However, in order to verify the validity of our findings and to provide more meaningful results, additional research is required over a longer time horizon and with additional cryptocurrency types.
