Financial area analysis is not limited to enterprise performance analysis. It is worth analyzing as wide an area as possible to obtain the full impression of a specific enterprise. News website content is a datum source that expresses the public’s opinion on enterprise operations, status, etc. Therefore, it is worth analyzing the news portal article text. Sentiment analysis in English texts and financial area texts exist, and are accurate, the complexity of Lithuanian language is mostly concentrated on sentiment analysis of comment texts, and does not provide high accuracy. Therefore in this paper, the supervised machine learning model was implemented to assign sentiment analysis on financial context news, gathered from Lithuanian language websites. The analysis was made using three commonly used classification algorithms in the field of sentiment analysis. The hyperparameters optimization using the grid search was performed to discover the best parameters of each classifier. All experimental investigations were made using the newly collected datasets from four Lithuanian news websites. The results of the applied machine learning algorithms show that the highest accuracy is obtained using a non-balanced dataset, via the multinomial Naive Bayes algorithm (71.1%). The other algorithm accuracies were slightly lower: a long short-term memory (71%), and a support vector machine (70.4%).

In the paper the word-level n-grams based approach is proposed to find similarity between texts. The approach is a combination of two separate and independent techniques: self-organizing map (SOM) and text similarity measures. SOM’s uniqueness is that the obtained results of data clustering, as well as dimensionality reduction, are presented in a visual form. The four measures have been evaluated: cosine, dice, extended Jaccard’s, and overlap. First of all, texts have to be converted to numerical expression. For that purpose, the text has been split into the word-level n-grams and after that, the bag of n-grams has been created. The n-grams’ frequencies are calculated and the frequency matrix of dataset is formed. Various filters are used to create a bag of n-grams: stemming algorithms, number and punctuation removers, stop words, etc. All experimental investigation has been made using a corpus of plagiarized short answers dataset.

In the paper, the flight time deviation of Lithuania airports has been analyzed. The supervised machine learning model has been implemented to predict the interval of time delay deviation of new flights. The analysis has been made using seven algorithms: probabilistic neural network, multilayer perceptron, decision trees, random forest, tree ensemble, gradient boosted trees, and support vector machines. To find the best parameters which give the highest accuracy for each algorithm, the grid search has been used. To evaluate the quality of each algorithm, the five measures have been calculated: sensitivity/recall, precision, specificity, F-measure, and accuracy. All experimental investigation has been made using the newly collected dataset from Lithuania airports and weather information on departure/landing time. The departure flights and arrival flights have been investigated separately. To balance the dataset, the SMOTE technique is used. The research results showed that the highest accuracy is obtained using the tree model classifiers and the best algorithm of this type to predict is gradient boosted trees.

Automated data analysis solutions are very dependent on data and its quality. The possibility of assigning more than one class to the same data item is one of the specificities that need to be taken into account. There are no solutions, dedicated to Lithuanian text data classification that helps to assign more than one class to data item. In this paper, a new combined approach has been proposed for multilabel text data classification for text analysis. The main aim of the proposed approach is to improve the accuracy of traditional classification algorithms by incorporating the results obtained using similarity measures. The experimental investigation has been performed using the financial news multilabel text data in the Lithuanian language. Data have been collected from four public websites and classified by experts into ten classes manually, where each of the data items has no more than two classes. The results of five commonly used algorithms have been compared for dataset classification: the support vector machine, multinomial naive Bayes, k-nearest neighbours, decision trees, linear and discriminant analysis. In addition, two similarity measures have been compared: the cosine distance and the dice coefficient. Research has shown that the best results have been obtained using the cosine similarity distance and the multinomial naive Bayes classifier. The proposed approach combines the results of these two methods. Research on different cases of the proposed approach indicated the peculiarities of its application. At the same time, the combined approach allowed us to obtain a statistically significant increase in global accuracy.
