In this paper, the use of TF-IDF stands for (term frequencyinverse document frequency) is discussed in examining the relevance of key-words to documents in corpus. The study is focused on how the algorithm can be applied on number of documents. First, the working principle and steps which should be followed for implementation of TF-IDF are elaborated. Secondly, in order to verify the findings from executing the algorithm, results are presented, then strengths and weaknesses of TD-IDF algorithm are compared. This paper also talked about how such weaknesses can be tackled. Finally, the work is summarized and the future research directions are discussed.
Many different studies are in progress to analyze the content created by the users on social media due to its influence and social ripple effect. Various content created on social media has pieces of information and user’s sentiments about social issues. This study aims to analyze people’s sentiments about the impact of technology on employment and advancements in technologies and build a machine learning classifier to classify the sentiments. People are getting nervous, depressed and even doing suicides due to unemployment; hence, it is essential to explore this relatively new area of research. The study has two main objectives 1) to preprocess text collected from Twitter concerning the impact of technology on employment and analyze its sentiment, 2) to evaluate the performance of machine learning Naïve Bayes (NB) classifier on the text. To achieve this, a methodology is proposed that includes 1) data collection and preprocessing 2) analyze sentiment, 3) building machine learning classifier and 4) compare the performance of NB and support vector machine (SVM). NB and SVM achieved 87.18% and 82.05% accuracy respectively. The study found that 65% of the people hold negative sentiment regarding the impact of technology on employment and technological advancements; hence people must acquire new skills to minimize the effect of structural unemployment.
Timely delivery is the major issue in Fast Moving Consumer Good (FMCG) since it depends on the lead time which is stochastic and long due to several reasons; e.g., delay in processing orders and transportation. Stochastic lead time can cause inventory inaccuracy where echelons have to keep high product stocks. Such performance inefficiency reflects the existence of the bullwhip effect (BWE), which is a common challenge in supply chain networks. Thus, this paper studies the impact of stochastic lead time on the BWE in a multi-product and multi-echelon supply chain of FMCG industries under two information-sharing strategies; i.e., decentralized and centralized. The impact was measured using a discrete event simulation approach, where a simulation model of a four-tier supply chain whose echelons adopt the same lead time distribution and continuous review inventory policy was developed and simulated. Different lead time cases under the information-sharing strategies were experimented and the BWE was measured using the standard deviation of demand ratios between echelons. The results show that the BWE cannot be eliminated but can be reduced under centralized information sharing. All the research analyses help the practitioners in FMCG industries get insight into the impact of sharing demand information on the performance of a supply chain when lead time is stochastic.
Customer disposition to data, nature of the information on site, protection<strong> </strong>concerns, trust, security concerns, and the notoriety of organization efficaciously affect the trust of Internet shoppers in the site. Two noteworthy and basic issues for e-commerce sites and consumers are trust as well as security. A belief that someone is good and honest and will not harm you, or something is safe and reliable is called trust; while security is an attempt to safeguard the data from unauthorized access. Information security is a vital management as well as technical requirement over the internet for effective and secure payment transaction activities. The safety of e-commerce resources from use, destruction, unauthorized access and alteration is known as E-commerce security so there is an urgent need to study its dimensions such as authenticity, integrity, availability, privacy, confidentiality and non-repudiation. This paper reports a review of four popular online marketplaces which are Alibaba, Amazon, eBay andTaoBao as case study on two main criteria namely building trust among users and ensuring security on the platform. Furthermore, we discuss the methods being used by each online marketplace to build trust and their unique way ofimproving the security. Finally, different ways of building trust and technique to ensure the security is presented in a tabular form for each online marketplace.
