Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2018

description: This dissertation consists of three essays that design and evaluate the continuous audit analytics and fraud prevention systems using three emerging technologies (i.e., the blockchain, in-memory cloud computing, and deep learning). The first essay designs a framework of Blockchain-based Transaction Processing System using the homomorphic encryption and zero-knowledge proof mechanisms. Furthermore, this study develops a prototype of the designed system to demonstrate its applications in real-time accounting, continuous monitoring, and fraud prevention. Although the simulation tests show the Blockchain-based Transaction Processing System consumes more computational overhead than the conventional database-based ERP system, the blockchain should be considered as a promising technology for future accounting and auditing practice.  The second essay introduces the database architecture that manages data in main physical memory and columnar format. This essay proposes a conceptual framework for applying the in-memory columnar database system to support high-speed continuous audit analytics. Moreover, this study develops a prototype and conducts the simulation tests to evaluate the proposed framework. The test results show the high efficiency and effectiveness of the in-memory columnar database relative to the conventional ERP system regarding the computational time and the storage volume. Furthermore, the deployment of the in-memory columnar database to the cloud shows great promise of applying the in-memory columnar database for continuous audit analytics.  The third essay designs a continuous fraud detection system based on modified deep learning technology. Specifically, this essay builds an accounting layer on top of the deep learning architecture to process financial data for predicting the fraudulent financial statements. A prototype is developed to evaluate the prediction accuracy of the proposed design. The test results show the deep learning-based continuous fraud detection system provides high prediction accuracy relative to the existing studies of financial statement fraud detection.

description: Group equivariance has emerged as a valuable inductive bias in deep learning, enhancing generalization, data efficiency, and robustness. Classically, group equivariant methods require the groups of interest to be known beforehand, which may not be realistic for real-world data. Additionally, baking in fixed group equivariance may impose overly restrictive constraints on model architecture. This highlights the need for methods that can dynamically discover and apply symmetries as soft constraints. For neural network architectures, equivariance is commonly achieved through group transformations of a canonical weight tensor, resulting in weight sharing over a given group $G$. In this work, we propose to learn such a weight-sharing scheme by defining a collection of learnable doubly stochastic matrices that act as soft permutation matrices on canonical weight tensors, which can take regular group representations as a special case. This yields learnable kernel transformations that are jointly optimized with downstream tasks. We show that when the dataset exhibits strong symmetries, the permutation matrices will converge to regular group representations and our weight-sharing networks effectively become regular group convolutions. Additionally, the flexibility of the method enables it to effectively pick up on partial symmetries.

Stochastic alternating optimization methods for solving large-scale machine learning problems

description: In this dissertation, we propose two stochastic alternating optimization methods for solving  structured regularization problems, which have been widely used in machine learning and  data mining. The  rst algorithm is called Stochastic Alternating Linearization (SALIN),  which is an stochastic extension of the Alternating Linearization (ALIN) in solving convex  optimization problems with complex non-smooth regularization term. SALIN linearizes the  loss function and penalty function alternatively at each iteration, based on the stochastic  approximation of sub-gradients. By applying a special update test at each iteration, and  a carefully designed sub-gradients update scheme, the algorithm achieves fast and stable  convergence. The update test just relies on a  xed pre-de ned set, and we show that  the choice of the test set has little influence on the overall performance of the algorithm.  Therefore SALIN is a robust method.    The other algorithm is called preconditioned stochastic Alternating Direction Method of  Multipliers, which is specially designed to handle structured regularized regression problems  such as Fused LASSO, but with the design matrix being ill-conditioned. We prove its  O(1/sqrt{t}) convergence rate for general convex functions and O(log t/t) for strongly convex  functions, and show that the constant depends only on the lower dimension of the data matrix.    We present results of extensive numerical experiments for structured regularization problems  such as Fused LASSO and graph-guided SVM, with both synthetic and real-world  datasets. The numerical results demonstrate the efficacy and accuracy of our methods.

description: This paper deals with the state prediction of nonlinear stochastic dynamic systems. The emphasis is laid on a solution to the integral Chapman-Kolmogorov equation by a deterministic-integration-rule-based point-mass method. A novel concept of reliable data-augmented, i.e., mathematics- and data-informed, integration rule is developed to enhance the point-mass state predictor, where the trained neural network (representing data contribution) is used for the selection of the best integration rule from a set of available rules (representing mathematics contribution). The proposed approach combining the best properties of the standard mathematics-informed and novel data-informed rules is thoroughly discussed.

Three essays on financial markets

description: The first essay examines the momentum phenomenon in the sovereign CDS market. We find that from 2001 to 2015, the portfolio of sovereign CDS past three-month winners outperforms the portfolio of past three-month losers by 0.53% per month after adjusting for risk factors. The excess returns of the long-short portfolio increase with the holding period for up to 20 months, and there is no sign of mean reversion. This evidence is consistent with investors’ initial underreaction to public information, as in Barberis, Shleifer, and Vishny (1998).  The second essay studies the macro-informational role of the sovereign CDS market and the way in which macro information flows between sovereign CDS market and stock and bond markets. We find that the sovereign CDS market can predict future stock index returns, government bond yields, and real economic activities. For example, a strategy that buys stock indices of countries in the top quintile (whose creditworthiness improved the most in the previous quarter according to sovereign CDSs) and sells indices from the bottom quintile generates an average return of 15% per year. Moreover, the information is flowing one way, from sovereign CDS market to stock and bond markets, but not the other way around. Our evidence suggests that stock and bond markets gradually “catch up” with the sovereign CDS market, especially during the days surrounding credit rating or outlook changes. The predictive power of sovereign CDS returns is almost entirely from their global, rather than country-specific, component.   The third essay investigates the investment performance of US ethical equity mutual funds relative to the market and their traditional counterparts using a survivorship-bias-free database. We detect selectivity and market timing performance of fund managers using the models of Treynor and Mazuy (1966) and Bhattacharya and Pfleiderer (1983).  Our empirical results indicate that ethical funds perform no worse than their traditional counterparts, although neither type of funds outperforms the market. We find some evidence of superior security selection and/or market timing skill among a small number of ethical and traditional funds. Matching traditional funds have slightly more abnormal performance than ethical funds.

description: This paper deals with state estimation of nonlinear stochastic dynamic models. In particular, the stochastic integration rule, which provides asymptotically unbiased estimates of the moments of nonlinearly transformed Gaussian random variables, is reviewed together with the recently introduced stochastic integration filter (SIF). Using SIF, the respective multi-step prediction and smoothing algorithms are developed in full and efficient square-root form. The stochastic-integration-rule-based algorithms are implemented in Python (within the Stone Soup framework) and in MATLAB and are numerically evaluated and compared with the well-known unscented and extended Kalman filters using the Stone Soup defined tracking scenario.

Interaction of the components within pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex and 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate synthase

description: Thiamin diphosphate (ThDP)-dependent enzymes [pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHc), 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex (2-OGDHc) and 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate synthase (DXPS)] form a diverse class of proteins, which play critical roles in catalyzing a vast variety of metabolic reactions, especially the formation of carbon-carbon bonds. Many of their functions rely on complexes rather than on individual components. Understanding how proteins behave in isolation as well as how they recognize their binding partners is therefore critical for understanding the functions and regulation of proteins.   In recent decades, our understanding of protein-protein or protein-ligand interactions have moved beyond rigid binding to conformational changes upon binding, multistep ordered assembly, and structural fluctuations occurring within fully assembled complexes. In this thesis for most experiments two methods were utilized: (a) External fluorophores introduced via site-specific covalent labeling to measure dissociation constants (Kd) to establish the strength of interaction; and (b) Hydrogen-Deuterium Exchange Mass Spectrometry (HDX-MS) to study the interactions within PDHc, 2-OGDHc and DXPS.  First, we designed a fluorescence titration experiment to measure the dissociation constants between different components within PDHc, to quantitatively study the role that each domain plays in interaction with its regulatory enzyme PDKs. We also conducted a series of HDX-MS experiments to investigate the interaction pattern between the first component of PDHc E1p and PDKs in Chapter 3.  In Chapter 4, we mainly focus on the binary complex interactions within 2-OGDHc. By using an external site-specifically introduced fluorophore tag, we measured the dissociation constants between different components and with FRET experiments, we also could identify principal interaction loci. In Chapter 5, we used the HDX-MS method for a study on the dynamics of DXPS. Three of all the peptic peptides derived from DXPS displayed the very unique EX1-type hydrogen/deuterium kinetics, which enabled us to understand how some of the DXPS domains respond to different components and identified two likely slowly interconverting conformation in the active center of the enzyme, a closed and an open one, suggesting mechanistic information about this bisubstrate ThDP enzyme. In the Appendix, we report some preliminary data related to the phosphorylation loop in the PDHc E1p component. It shows that peptides located on phosphorylation loop also display EX1-kinetics, which might be a critical property for the catalysis and regulation of thiamin-dependent enzymes.    All studies in this thesis are aimed at a better understanding of mechanisms in ThDP catalysis, and we hope that these fundamental research subjects could guide the development of future structure-based inhibitors and perhaps cure some diseases.

Three essays on corporate financial disclosures
Creators: name: Yang, Yinan
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2018

description: This dissertation consists of three papers. In the first paper we identify a new incentive for managers in determining management forecast (MF) characteristics stemming from the relative performance evaluation feature of CEO promotion tournaments. We document higher credibility of MF for firms with stronger tournament incentives (as proxied for by the CEO pay gap). We posit that the relative performance evaluation feature of CEO promotion tournaments creates mutual monitoring mechanism within the management team as well as the incentives for lower-ranked executives to provide high quality information to gain better evaluation results. We thereby extend previous MF literature that focuses mainly on equity-based incentives and reports mixed findings. Our results are robust to using different tournament measures, controlling for other known determinants of MF characteristics as well as manager skills, and corrections of endogeneity of all specifications.  In the second paper, we investigate the spill-over effect of customer fraud on non-fraudulent suppliers’ investment decisions. We posit that suppliers utilize customers’ information to infer future demand and economic prospects, and noisy information distorts and misguides the investment and productions decisions made by suppliers. The overinvestment and misrepresented performance of customers signal a high demand and prosperous economic prospects for suppliers, resulting in overinvestment decisions by suppliers. We find that suppliers invest more during the fraud periods of customers. The degree of distortion is less severe when the supplier operates in concentrated industry and more severe when suppliers have higher sales volatility. In addition, we show that the overinvestments by suppliers are inefficient as associated future cash flows are significantly reduced. Our results are robust to different fraud samples, alternative research methodology, and controlling for other known determinants of investment decisions.  In the third paper, we investigate whether firms engaging in corporate fraud take advantages of strategic timing of earnings announcements (EA). We document that misreporting firms strategically time their EA in low attention periods (i.e. after trading hours) during violation years. In addition, we show that the timing strategy is followed by a longer detection period and more insider trading. We thereby extend previous corporate disclosure timing literature that mainly focuses on the content of reported news. We also extend the corporate fraud literature by showing a low-cost way in which firms can possibly “hide” the manipulated earnings. Our results are robust to different samples of fraud, different research methodology, different sample periods, and controlling for other known determinants of market attention.

Diagnosis. Macropterous Thripinae, Body surface with many closely spaced transverse striae (Figs 94-97); antennae 8-segmented, segment I with one dorso-apical seta, III–IV with long forked sensoria. Head with ocellar setae I absent; compound eyes with no pigmented facets. Pronotum with 2 pairs of posteroangular setae; pronotum, metanotum, tergites and sternites with numerous transverse striae. Prosternal basantra without setae, ferna complete; meso and metafurca without spinula. Fore wing with setal rows widely spaced, clavus with discal seta. Tergites II–VIII with craspedum of small lobes; IX with 2 pairs of campaniform sensilla, median dorsal setae short; X with no longitudinal split; sternites with weak, narrow craspedum, VII with all setae arising at margin.
Type species Striathrips sulcatus sp.n.
Comments. Relationships of the new species described below are far from clear. The lobed tergal craspeda and presence of one dorso-apical seta on the first antennal segment suggest a relationship to Bregmatothrips, but the tergal campaniform sensilla are placed far forward from the posterior margin of each tergite, and ocellar setae pair I are not present. The dense transverse striae on the tergites and sternites are unusual, but are reminiscent of Amalothrips flacidus from India, as illustrated by Bhatti (1975).

description: Cryptic crosswords are puzzles that rely on general knowledge and the solver's ability to manipulate language on different levels, dealing with various types of wordplay. Previous research suggests that solving such puzzles is challenging even for modern NLP models, including Large Language Models (LLMs). However, there is little to no research on the reasons for their poor performance on this task. In this paper, we establish the benchmark results for three popular LLMs: Gemma2, LLaMA3 and ChatGPT, showing that their performance on this task is still significantly below that of humans. We also investigate why these models struggle to achieve superior performance. We release our code and introduced datasets at https://github.com/bodasadallah/decrypting-crosswords.

Digital transformation is a major opportunity to solve the barriers and bottlenecks, to enhance transparency and to develop fair, competitive collaboration models among value chain actors.The forest-based sector represents a major part of the bioeconomy and is already today a main contributor to climate protection. Wood as material can circulate efficiently in both cycles: the technical and the biological loop. There is a need for a major technology push in the forest-based sector facilitated by digital. R&I actors need to embrace the digital transformation, and new qualifications and specialized skills are required.

Diese auf der Peloponnes häufige und im Sommer auch in höheren Lagen anzutreffende Art fehlt merkwürdigerweise in der umfangreichen Liste griechischer Faltenwespen von BLÜTHGEN & GUSENLEITNER (1970). GUICHARD (1980) führt sie ebenfalls nicht auf, so dass dies die ersten publizierten Funddaten von der Peloponnes zu sein scheinen.

Leptochilus crassipunctatus

description: (Leptochilus crassipunctatus (MAIDL 1922))
Diese Art, die laut GUSENLEITNER (1993) in Italien und auf dem Balkan "östlich bis Bulgarien " verbreitet ist, kommt wahrscheinlich auf der Peloponnes nicht vor. Der einzige vermeintliche Beleg von dort (, Zachlorou, 28.5.1962, Coll. Schwarz; aufgelistet in BLÜTHGEN & GUSENLEITNER 1970), erwies sich als ein L. membranaceus- mit niedriger Pronotum-Lamelle. Ein in Thessalien gefangenes und im Biologiezentrum Linz aufbewahrtes (Mt. Ossa centr., 8.8.2010, leg. J. Halada), das J. Gusenleitner als L. crassipunctatus interpretiert hatte, gehört zu L. hermon. Zwar ist die dichte Clypeus-Punktulierung, die GUSENLEITNER (1993) als arttypisch für L. hermon annimmt, bei diesem auf der Clypeus-Mitte nicht ausgebildet, doch variiert dieses Merkmal bei griechischen L. hermon erheblich und ist daher kein zuverlässiges Unterscheidungskriterium. In allen übrigen Merkmalen stimmt dieses perfekt mit griechischen L. hermon überein, insbesondere auch in der relativ feinen Punktierung des 2. Tergits. Bei einer grösseren Anzahl kroatischer L. crassipunctatus im Biologiezentrum Linz ist diese Punktierung konstant gröber und sehr ähnlich wie bei griechischen L. membranaceus. J. Gusenleitner ordnet dieses nach abermaliger Prüfung nun ebenfalls L. hermon zu.
Zwei angebliche L. crassipunctatus - von einem montanen Fundort in Zentralgriechenland (Aspropotamos, 27.7.1976; gemeldet von GUICHARD 1980) konnten bisher nicht überprüft werden, dürften aber ebenfalls zu L. hermon gehören.
Syntope Vorkommen von L. hermon und L. crassipunctatus auf dem Balkan, die beweisen würden, dass es sich tatsächlich um zwei verschiedene Arten und nicht nur um regionale Formen mit unterschiedlich grober Punktierung handelt, sind bisher nicht bekannt. Allein schon der Befund, dass L. hermon im gesamten Verbreitungsgebiet ausschliesslich im Hochgebirge vorkommt, L. crassipunctatus jedoch zumindest in Kroatien in tiefen Lagen recht häufig zu sein scheint, spricht aber dafür, dass tatsächlich zwei eigenständige Arten vorliegen.

This genus comprises two species collected from unidentified bamboos and grasses in Thailand. T. bambusae has a stout and serrated ovipositor that does not extend to the apex of the abdomen, whereas in T. megas the ovipositor is very weakly sclerotised with no marginal serrations (Fig. 91). Another genus from Thailand and Japan, Yoshinothrips, is similar to Takethrips, but the three known species all have two pairs of long pronotal posteroangular setae, and the ovipositor is stout and boldly serrated (Mound & Ng, 2009).

Creating public values through cross-sector collaboration

description: A significant body of scholarship on cross-sector collaboration highlights the  conditions of success in collaborative relationships. Various factors could determine the  success and failure of collaboration, but the agreement on partners' shared goals and  values could not be reached without proper leaders and participants. Furthermore,  collaboration may prioritize efficiency by sacrificing public values to private interests.  This dissertation explores the collaborative features of Business Improvement Districts  (BIDs) and the way that multiple participants involved in governance and management  create public values. This study uses mixed methods to examine collaborative advantages  and challenges created by different perspectives of participants. The findings suggest that  the support and capacity of multiple participants enhance collaboration. Collaborative  governance strengthens BIDs, such as professional expertise of managing directors and  active participation of volunteering board/trust members. However, BIDs could not be  sustained without support from governments and communities, because they can be  politically vulnerable to the whims of multiple partners. Furthermore, participants  perceive differences and improvements achieved by successful BIDs and request more  participation of communities for greater success. In practice, public values can be  discussed in the context of performance. The effectiveness of BIDs can be improved by  enhancing democratic values and achieving managerial goals through collaborative  governance. Although economic and institutional challenges create significant problems  for declining city and town areas, BIDs are important collaborative efforts made by  governments as well as private and nonprofit organizations. These collaborative actions  for the public good could provide solutions for public policy challenges in urban areas  and suggest implications for the future as well.
The business amorality belief and workplace unethical behavior

description: Research on amorality draws from various disciplines. However, conceptions of amorality in the literature are diverse and ambiguous. My dissertation delves into the concept of amorality by introducing an unequivocal definition of the business amorality belief (BAB). BAB is defined as the extent to which individuals believe that morality is irrelevant and inapplicable in the business world. Drawing on social cognitive theory (SCT), my dissertation seeks to understand the effect of BAB on two broad categories of workplace unethical behavior: unethical pro-self behavior (UPSB) and unethical pro-organizational behavior (UPOB). I hypothesize that employees’ BAB is positively related their UPSB and UPOB. I further hypothesize that a leader’s BAB and team level unethical behaviors (UPSB and UPOB) each further strengthens the above relationships.  Three studies have been conducted to develop and validate the BAB scale and test the hypotheses with data collected from multiple samples from a variety of universities and companies in China. In Study 1, I developed a valid and reliable measure of individuals’ BAB using undergraduate student and part-time MBA student samples. A series of tests demonstrated sufficient evidence of the reliability, discriminant validity, and convergent validity of the newly developed measure. In Study 2, with time-lagged data collected from part-time MBA students, I examined the nomological network of BAB and found that BAB had an incremental effect on UPSB and UPOB than other related variables in workplace unethical behavior research. In Study 3, I employed hierarchical linear modeling to test the hypotheses with time-lagged data collected from Chinese companies in different industries including technology, pharmaceuticals, electric maintenance, telecommunications, and business consulting. The results showed that employees’ BAB was positively related to both UPSB and UPOB, replicating the findings in Study 2. Furthermore, leaders’ BAB strengthens the effect of employees’ BAB on UPOB but not UPSB. Lastly, team level unethical behavior strengthens the effect of employees’ BAB UPSB but not UPOB. Theoretical contributions, managerial implications and directions for future research are discussed.

description: Molecular subtyping of cancer is recognized as a critical and challenging upstream task for personalized therapy. Existing deep learning methods have achieved significant performance in this domain when abundant data samples are available. However, the acquisition of densely labeled samples for cancer molecular subtypes remains a significant challenge for conventional data-intensive deep learning approaches. In this work, we focus on the few-shot molecular subtype prediction problem in heterogeneous and small cancer datasets, aiming to enhance precise diagnosis and personalized treatment. We first construct a new few-shot dataset for cancer molecular subtype classification and auxiliary cancer classification, named TCGA Few-Shot, from existing publicly available datasets. To effectively leverage the relevant knowledge from both tasks, we introduce a task-specific embedding-based meta-learning framework (TSEML). TSEML leverages the synergistic strengths of a model-agnostic meta-learning (MAML) approach and a prototypical network (ProtoNet) to capture diverse and fine-grained features. Comparative experiments conducted on the TCGA Few-Shot dataset demonstrate that our TSEML framework achieves superior performance in addressing the problem of few-shot molecular subtype classification.
